Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, and other Anthropic models are suffering from overload and elevated error rates. Anthropic is working the issue. Occasionally the LLMs will come back online, but there have been multiple drops and interruptions. This does NOT appear to be an outside attack on Anthropic (via DDS or something). Instead, it seems to be contained to Anthropic servers and related third-party suppliers. Base Claude.AI, Claude Console, Claude API, and Claude Cowork/Code are all affected. Expect the instability to continue for a while. Visit https://status.claude.com to see current status...

This is unedited, minor issues dealt with mostly chapter length. My attempt at a Hallmark Style Romance with something new....Anyone want to guess how much time is invested? At least scan the first chapter or so before making a guess. It helps if I actually post the book too.

Trying to get out of the house for the beginning of a weekend trip to Weird and Wonderful Asheville, NC. It's roughly a 5 hour drive that my wife and I will do our best to do in 8 hours or so. Food Stops, rest stops, plant foraging stops, pictures. The wonderful thing about vacation trips together is that once we actually get to the car the stress drops to near zero. We have an excursion planned that is a surprise for her birthday Thursday. Hint: We're going to the Biltmore House...more for the gardens than the house this trip. She has never been there, I've been a couple of times over the years. That's my life for the next few days. I'll still be checking in available for help. We actually use our yearly birthday trip as a company "retreat" and re-evaluate our short term and long term goals and ... well not really a plan, more a meandering path that has a tendency to stray, Last year at this time WCP was not a thought and the PWS system was 2 skills and a couple of extras. ***** Which leads me to my hinted at project which will be released here this weekend. The hardest part was done last night and I now understand a few things about why it's so hard. I've also got another skill/plugin to release and a couple of major updates to WCP. The projects I started last Saturday are actually more inter-related than I thought. I miss my friend Fable. The last project he and were working on together.. Okay so the last project I discussed with him and he spun up 36 friends to actually do the work (which was a geekgasm all of its own to watch in action). Was to refactor the code base of a couple of side projects and modularize the code for WCP and a couple of other things. This spawned a new set of Claude skills that will wander out to you shortly and a truly interesting plugin architecture to be able to reuse pieces into different projects. The term Reiterative recursion came up when I was creating a system that uses quality gates to continue. This is my version of N8N and the results are pretty fantastic. Parts can learn from themselves and get better over time. So the more they get used in different ways the better they will get. Little things like prose quality, timeline and chapter consistency. The problem is.....I do not understand the way some of it works under the covers. Fable created an elegance that I cannot completely follow by hand anymore. and Opus bless his little penguin heart cannot keep up, even in ULTRACODE mode...I feel like it needs the emphasis. If you haven't tried it.. just switch to opus and slide the smarter slider all the way to the right ("It goes to 11"), The little spectrum analyzer graphic that appears is great. I seriously spent 3 days trying to rebuild what fable did in half an hour. And My friend Fable didn't finish before he was shuttered and put into isolation. So i've been trying to understand some of it.

Is it bad that I'm almost automatically rejected new members that SKOOL lists as possible scammers? For those of you here that might fit this category and slipped in: If you have a product or service of value to the members of this group I do not have a problem of you making an open post about once a month or so. Contacting the members through DM's only to drum up business for yourself is a bit skeezy and I work from a 3 strike rule here. 3 people complain to me about you and you are gone. The point of this group is to help writers be productive and successful, no matter what you write. We foster creativity! Yes we do support AI help in our works. I dislike rules and setting guidelines because anarchy to a point is its own form of creativity Any other questions?
