Trying to play catch-up midweek is not the way to go. Lost Monday evening recovering from the weekend. Lost last night visiting my Mother for Mother's day and found out my daughter was at the hospital for a heart issue and didn't want anyone to know, So to the hospital we went. Dad overrides Grands and daughter. She's fine for now but at 25 needs a cardiologist. I had a heart attack that should have killed me in 2014 and survived with no further complications, but it was a wakeup call to change what I ate, how I exercise, and lost over 100 pounds. Would have been nice to have had a gentler message sent though. And now half way through the week and we have another craft show coming up and zero stock to sell at the Taylorsville Gourd Festival Saturday. Whoops! At least its only a one day show. So the next three nights are a balancing act between Family, SKOOL, BIAM Writing, Crafting, Coding, and maybe some sleep. Conveniently as I mentioned in an earlier post, most of my machines are computer controlled so set them running and keep an eye on them. Robots, like AI have a tendency to wander if you do not keep an eye on them. Sat in yesterday on Jason's StoryHackers huddle for the Automations app announcement. I've said before I'm not a fan of automation. but with that many people that interested in it I might have to rethink my stance on it. His tool looks pretty powerful but complex and i really like discussing and working out the details with the teams. @Tewodros Endalew made an interesting post on the Homework post i put up yesterday that really got me thinking as well. It tied in with some other things they have posted recently that have had me thinking of a direction shift. No changes to current functionality or workflows, but what if we added OTHER workflows as well. I've been hyperfocused on the PWS Skill-rooms, but what if they were only part of the story (pun-intended). I really had not thought about opening up WCP for other kinds of writers until @Stacey Brooks response to my Tuesday monologue. I'm listening folks. Keep talking.

106 Books in the Works, 1572 Documents thats an average of 18,867 Words per book, and 1196 Words per file with 16 Active users of 49 total users So roughly 125,000 word per user on the average. I know these numbers are not entirely accurate as a few folks have only kicked the tires. I only see the overview numbers above, kind of like a scoreboard.| I'm responsible for almost 350,000 of those. I have 3 books in the works, one completed and several short stories completed. I also know of two other books by other folks completed after they told me. This is a milestone Mark. The next targets are 100 Users and 5 million words. We've been live for less than a month! Genre's Currently requested and in the works: Crime Fiction Speculative Fiction Police Procedural any other requests?

You know what you do today. Your current job. Your business. Your routines. Your stress. Your responsibilities. But if you woke up tomorrow and could redesign your life completely differently, what would it honestly look like? Would you: open a bakery? live on a farm? write books? travel full time? run a tiny coffee shop? disappear into the woods with 14 dogs and no notifications? become a beach photographer? own a bookstore? finally start the business idea you keep thinking about at 2am? I think a lot of people secretly carry around an alternate life in their head that almost nobody knows about 😂 Curious what everyone’s “completely different life” would actually be. This is just for fun. Stacey Brooks TheGo2Writer

What's a skool without homework right? There was a statement made that has bothered me. "I'd love to try WCP for this, but it looks so busy. I've been noodling, doodling, piddling and playing with some UI changes but wanted to get everyone who actually uses it a say in where we go. (I even Promised this---I think). your homework assignment (and I'm questioning my sanity here a bit): Go through the Tour in the lower left hand corner first. Print out, download and bring into your favorite art program, circle number markup describe what changes would make it easier or simpler to use. Bear in mind this is a web app, so there are some User interface Limitations involved because of html and CSS and functionality will win out over a change that slows things down or makes it harder to use. You can copy /paste from another program or app that has something you like or works better their way. Take a camera shot or scan your ideas in and either post them here or send them to [email protected] I will take all submissions and try to compile them into a couple of choices for each area and present them for discussion next week. My current thought for an immediate change would be to add a HELP button in the upper right corner next to the user ID that would have the chat, tour, and SOS/More form the lower left corner, the quick start, feedback, manual, contact info all under one Help menu Moving "Notebook" into a post-it looking icon next to the 3 bars that hide the binder Making Series/Book/Folder in the Binder more Hierarchal in appearance and Function all with rollup buttons. Unless you have a truly incredible idea for workflow I have zero plans to lose the basic three pane functionality Binder/Editor/AI Skillrooms Just looking to make it cleaner/more functional/easier to use and learn
