I know I'm supposed to be taking a rest today, but I'm on a marathon coding session after having an epiphany last night. So I'll be around most of the day to answer anything and try to get more short videos posted.

you joined for a reason? What are we not doing here to get you to join in on the conversation? Happy to have you keep watching, I just feel like I'm not helping you if I don't know what your needs are? Give a shout, ask a question, throw out an idea. I'm noodling on ideas to get people more involved and see what you need that I/we can provide.

Available here for anyone on the Pro Tier or for $49 as a one time cost. Either way all updates are yours free as long as you are at that tier or pay the one time. The Plot Forge Skill creates plots at 3 different levels, Basic, Detailed, and Ultra detailed. A full detailed technical manual is included but the simplest way to use it is to install with the Simple Install instructions in the package. It is the same as any other Claude skill. Once Installed just type: hey /plot-forge-v1 how do I use you? And you will get the following: Claude responded: Let's see what the cards turned up. Let's see what the cards turned up. Hey! I'm CASSANDRA, your Plot Oracle. Here's the short version of how I work: You pull the lever, I spin the story. Tell me what you want — or tell me nothing at all — and I'll generate you a complete story foundation ready to draft from. Three ways to start: "Surprise me" — I roll everything, including the genre. You get whatever the cards deal. "Give me a [genre] plot" — you name the genre, I roll everything else. Romance, space opera, cozy mystery, grimdark fantasy, any of the 33 genre packs. "Give me a [genre] plot with [specifics]" — you pin whatever you want (tropes, heat level, POV, setting, antagonist type, tone) and I roll the rest. Then you pick how deep to go: Basic Ideas — a one-paragraph spark. Fast, free, re-rollable. Basic Plot — ~10 pages. Hook, story summary, cast, structure, scene seeds. Detailed — 20–30 pages. Full character profiles, locations, voice guide, beat outline. Ultra Detailed — the full codex. Story Bible, character codex, world codex, chapter-by-chapter beats. Multiple files. Other things I can do: Spin a batch of plots in one genre ("give me 10 romance plots") Build a series arc from scratch with a Series Bible Generate the next installment in a series you already have To re-roll anything: just say "spin again," "re-roll," or "re-roll the [antagonist / setting / trope / whatever]." Seeds are cheap.

There will be the next in my 30day series posted a bit later this morning but this is just for my use. And well yours too if you add a suggestion below. What do you need to see? A walk thru of Compositional Genres? A basic wordcrafter.pro startup Deep dive into anyone function or skill room? Projects updates? BookWeaver sneak peek and Demo ( possibly a limited opening this weekend)? Marketing plan run through? Other Writing advice or walkthrus? Michael's ramblings on something else? A particular pain point you might have? Drop me a message below with whst you want or need to see and ill make it happen.

What has everyone been up to this week? Post a response below: ***** This is unfortunately yet another one of my long wordy posts If you've kept up with some of the postings of late I've been spending a lot of time with genre's and and the new BookWeaver app. Below is a sample of a Chapter from a BookWeaver book I'm about to publish. This is the first one I have brought in to WordCrafter.Pro to run through the editorial room and finish. It is unfortunately not a favorite story, but the writing is very good. This was a test of multiple things. This was a budget model, Gemini 2.5 Flash, which doesn't write bad prose, but does need a good outline and beats to stay consistent. Enter the story threading engine for this, that does some interesting tings under the hood that I need to add in to the editorial team or a light chapter by chapter pass in the Writer's room. Because the apps are FUNDAMENTALLY different in operation there are a couple jumps to make. There is NO N8N in use here at all. I do not like its outputs and how slow it is. 22K Words in half an hour from a basic premise. I read through the Story Bible and Outline created and did some light edits here and let it roll. I ran the consistency checker on it and dis some more editing a couple regenerations. Any guess's as to the cost to create this? 25K Words, 9 Covers, Editing, and export to epub. Answer is at the bottom of this post. Okay, so I did cheat on this one. Remember I said I took this to WCP for final editing? I do not yet have an accounting of how much I spent there in the editorial room, so that function has been added as well. I spent several hours last night in the editorial room in WCP with this one and cleaned it up a bit more and followed their suggestions for most of the fixes. And also learned something new and interesting I will document in a video later today. In the Editorial skillroom I let Oracle do her cold read and let the editorial team do their first pass analysis. I answered their questions and asked them to "show me their fixes" and reciedved a very long chapter by chapter set of repairs to copy/replace or do by hand. This is supposed to be a mostly automated book right? My response to them after this was this "make the changes above to the actual chapter context chapter by chapter, stop at the end of each chapter so I can save them" And it did just this for the 4 chapters that need major fixes. I saved them to the binder, renamed them properly, moved the old versions to a folder named "old" and read through it.
