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.

🙏 June 28, 2026 – Today's Prayer 🙏 Scripture of the Day "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me with a love that never fails. Your mercy has covered my life time and time again, and I am so grateful for Your grace. Today, help me to love others deeply, just as You have loved me. Teach me to be patient when it is difficult, kind when it is unexpected, forgiving when I have been hurt, and compassionate toward those who need encouragement. Lord, let my words bring healing instead of hurt, peace instead of conflict, and hope instead of discouragement. Help me to remember that every person I meet is someone You love. Cover my heart with Your peace and remove anything that keeps me from reflecting Christ. Fill me with humility, gentleness, and wisdom so that Your love shines through everything I say and do. Thank You for never giving up on me. May I extend that same grace to others and become a living example of Your unconditional love. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen. ✝️💜 Stacey

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.

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.

I spent last night actually writing again to try to finish and publish something from my backlog. Discovered some wonderful minor issues in formatting that will be fixed this weekend so you might also see a new addition to WordCrafter.pro's feature set by Monday And I have a new skill for the pro tier to use directly in Claude, a consistency and continuity checker. This does NOT replace the editorial room's 50 point checklist but was built to test BookWeaver's story threading engine. Every Tom, Dick and Mary is throwing out a new automation engine every couple of days and most of them are producing really pretty crap. Each one i look at teaches me something new. Mostly what NOT to do, that's why Im taking more time with this. I've written over 20 books in the BookWeaver system testing and reiterating and its about ready to roll Full books - Word, PDF, Epub Audio books Basic Editting Kindle Metadata Raw export to take to another tool like WordCrafter.Pro or your other favorite editor My question and what has really held me up is how to charge for this one. Currently there's no config or api keys to setup. You log in, answer a few questions, have the option of editting at each stop or just say go and you can have 100k words in an hour that is pretty good. Still could use polish and editting (because if AI was perfect we'd all be out of work). 50K or less in about a half hour. Pick your title and pen name, get your Kindle Metadata and decide to export or create an audiobook version. So each AI call costs, I currently have it at 3 levels of quality none of which are bad, just different models. Audiobooks are using 3 engines at different voice levels, elevenlabs is the most expensive. Final edits, rework/regenerate and calls to nanobanana for covers and editting covers. Leaving audiobooks out the most expensive book Ive created was $20. This was not the longest, this was the one I liked the most and spent more time editting, regenerating and doing backside coding for found errors. The average cost for the infrastructure overhead right now is $200/month, this will scale as more people use it but this figure is good for about 100 users or so. And the average cost per book is under $10. Would you want to pay $20 or so for 100K word publishable book? How many books a week or month would you want to use this for?
