So i've basically been ill for the last three days and pushing through it with a nasty sinus infection. I spent half of today resting and the other half adding what I think might be the best totally necessary two weeks ago feature. A freakin MANUAL. OMG. it's extensive and detailed and hidden quite cleverly at the top of the Binder. Please read the Preamble, to learn "Michael's Rule of Manuals". This technique is a decades old secret I have passed on to anyone who has ever tried to read a manual and ended up looking haggard with eyes glazed understanding less than when they started. The Quick Start is there if you think you know what you are doing and the rest is all there. I will be doing a line by line edit of it starting tomorrow as there are some things that are a bit off. Claude and the nonfiction room are good but nothing like a full read through by someone who actually uses it. This is actually version 9 since I started and will be the canonical master copy ongoing. There will eventually be a print addition, but probably not before I hire a better graphic designer than I am (not a very high bar to reach). Screenshots and graphics will be added as well. There are call outs for screenshots already in the text but please let me know if you think others should be added as well. I've already found a few and made hasty notes on my handy dandy Notepad also cleverly hidden in the Binder. If you hit a snag somewhere reading through you need me to address ask and I'll jump to that section and add the graphics needed there . I built this in the Binder so I can edit it live and work with it just like the live document it is. Please critique this, let me know if there is more (or less) that you need. I published it rough ths way because of some of the questions I have been asked recently. I should be able to add links here to videos elsewhere to explain things better as well, **** And if you have read this far I did make it into BIAM this month and will be running through it like everyone else, Just with WCP to see how well it works with Colm's method. I'll post here and on Storyhackers about it.

I was in wcp, when I hit a key and it took me to wordcrafter pro portal, um what did I do? It doesn't accept my login for wcp, is there a separate one ... if this part of wcp?

I made my debut as an author in 1991. Then a 34 years' break. And now I'm back, at the age of 80. I'm not a boomer, I am Methuselah. Why am I interested in writing fiction again? I have written text of facts for all my life. I'm no longer the breadwinner of a family. I live on my pension, and so does my wife too. I have hearing devices and I recently had cataract surgery. So, I'm still going strong, to cite Johnny Walker. AI is a great help for us all. I jumped into ChatGPT 3-4 years ago. Wow! This was what I had waited for since I made my M.A. final work at Helsinki university. My theme was connected with machine translation of language. Now lexems were disassembled in LLMs, but not to semasemes and semes as then, but to tokens. My ancient studies in the 1970s had been useful. LLMs were just a different way from academic research to handle with corpus. (BTW, academic science does not allow hallucinations.) If you read this far, you understand now what a winding path I have travelled to be here. Never stop thinking, writing, speaking and loving life as it's given to you for free!

I'm having difficulty getting the AI panel to show the full chapter when I "insert into the editor" window. Sometimes it shows the first scene only and other times it leaves out a recently added section that was corrected or a added part. I have to read each chapter to find it, then and ask for it. But sometimes I just simply copy it into google docs to make sure I have it all then transfer it back into the chapter bypassing the ai window completely. Any ideas on how to prevent this transfer of incomplete chapters?

I really do not want to go to the daily grind today. Got too many fun things going for the folks here! Spent most of my time in WCP today ironing out details while working on the how to walk thrus. Notepad! The default edit pane is now a single page NOTEPAD. a place to jot random things. It is always accessible by the yellow notepad button in the upper left hand corner. It is about as simple as it gets. it's only option is a down arrow to save the contents to your local drive. It creates a WCP_Notepad file with the current date and time as a markdown (text) file. Select the contents and delete to clear it. It's just a single page and is share across every book and series with the same page. The default text on the notepad guide folks to the help in the corner and to our skool page here for additional help. Quick Start Button! Primarily for first timers but great for all of us. Opens an unnamed series, unnamed book, and unnamed file. If these already exist it will create new ones. you can rename them with the right click menu. It then jumps you to the API keys to enter a key and there is basic instrux there now. Then jump back and start writing The Feedback button may go away soon as the helpdesk link in the lower left corner [SOS] is now live so you can open a service ticket, that can be tracked and responded too, Remember the chatbot is there for help as well
