Time for accountability and what everyone has been working on this week. Let us know where you are, if you have blockers we can help with, had a rough go with personal life, made a win, started something new, or anything else. This doesn't have to do with books could be anything...

And ya'll left Michael alone again. And in research and development mode too. Everyone of you should be ashamed. You know what happens. *****Editor's Interruption This is a reminder all Subscribers to WordCrafter.pro by Oct 1 will be locked into the $29mo/$249yr Writer Rate (up from the current $22) but get the Studio tier options (EVERYTHING) for as long as you are a member. As of October 1st WCP is being split into 3 versions Writer/Pro/Studio with different pieces available at each level. The new rates are Writer $29/$250, Pro $49/$399, Studio $69/$649 as of Oct 1. I have a detailed sales sheet coming out this weekend with the details and comparisons. But it works out that WCP can replace as much as $3700 in subscriptions and purchases to other services for a single book! It is very easy and possible to create a book a month, or even a book a day with BookCrafter. Keep reading to understand what else is coming... ***** This means I did not launch TarotCrafter(New App)... Tis means I did not finish imagecrafter (Pro)... This means I did not finish LayoutCrafter(Studio)... This means I did not work on MarketCrafter(Studio)... All for the same reason... Michael does not do complicated things with API keys, encryption keys or money when over tired and sick qualifies. Once the encrypted encryption key is fixed all 4 will come very quickly. Tomorrow night or Friday I will have to reset all of the API keys to fix this bug preventing all of these from happening. Which means all users of WCP will have to re-enter new API keys. This is also the time to add new services if anyone needs them. I did add Wavespeed to the mix. It's another OpenRouter aggregator that gives us access to many LLM models, including more video and sound options. What did I do? Well... I watched, skimmed too many agentic videos and pages and got further lost. I think to pull this off I'm going to have to run a separate clone of both Apps WCP and BW and do the agentic experiment there. That's going to make things really weird for me. I'm already feeling schizophrenic over some of this, so more thought and some serious whiteboard time in the studio is going to be required.

155!! Can we hit 200 by the end of the month? Welcome all new folks!! It has been a bit since i did this so hopefully I didn't miss anyone. This has been a great month for growth! Just ask for anything you need help with , want to see or hear about or give me suggestions. So a big welcome for: @Kay Fairhaven @Amanda Castille @Bryan Overton @Sarah Crosley @Clara Kate @Rr R @Sergey Kuz @Helena V. @Evelyn Mary @Raed Alqawasmeh @Carol Baxter @Fabrice Boulben @Leah C Taylor Welcome to the Room!! This is a site to help all authors, but especially those who want to write with AI help and not create Crap! This is also the support Channel for two online writing apps WordCrafter.Pro and BookWeaver.pro! BookWeaver.Pro is a fully automated writing tool that creates books for you but you stay in control, being able to edit along the way. BookWeaver also includes PlotCrafter a tool to generate plot ideas when you don't know what to write. Never have writers block again! Wordcrafter.Pro has a unique system that allows you to work with a virtual AI team of personas rather than just tell claude"Write this". You do not have to figure out prompts just talk to them and they will help guide you through the process with a full editing suite of tools to write with you and not for you. BookWeaver and PlotCrafter are both included in WordCrafter as options so you do not need both tools. If you are reading this and not here for WordCRafter.Pro that's cool too.

Your Beta Readers Are Never Going to Tell You This You finish the draft. You send it out. Three people say they loved it, one says the middle dragged but cannot tell you where, and two never reply at all. Six weeks gone, and the only thing you learned for certain is that somebody thought the middle dragged. The Reading Room fixes a narrower problem than that, and fixing it turns out to matter more. Five readers, not one Every AI beta reader on the market simulates a reader. One reader. You get an opinion, and an opinion from a machine that wants you to like it is worth roughly what an opinion from a friend who wants you to like it is worth. The Reading Room seats five, and they do not share a job. MIRA is your target reader. She buys in your category and knows what she came for. THEO has read five hundred books on your shelf and holds the promise ledger. JUNO reads twenty minutes a night on a phone, skims action, and quits easily. RHYS is licensed to dislike your book and writes the two-star review before a stranger does. DELLA reads for feeling and tells you where the payoff landed or did not. They read independently. They never see each other's notes. Then ARBITER, who never reads your book at all, takes the five logs and reports where they agree, where they split, and what the split means. That last part is the product. One reader's reaction is noise. Four readers reaching the same conclusion by four different routes is signal, and signal is the only thing you can safely revise against. What the other tools do not do I went through the field before building this, so here is the honest picture. AutoCrit ships alpha and beta readers with custom reader profiles, a re-read function, and a feedback history. It is the closest product in the market and it does the continuity piece well. What it does not do is correlate. It gives you five reader slots and leaves the synthesis to you. ProWritingAid's Virtual Beta Reader is the strongest single reader out there, with drop-off points and an Almost Put the Book Down report. It also states in its own FAQ that analysis may fail on sexually explicit text. If you write high heat, that door is closed to you.

Or what should Michael spend his time on this weekend? If you need help from me on anything! Drop a line below letting me know what you need. Andif the Poll is missing your choice tell me that too.
