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?

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.

We are 81 members in SKOOL! And 48 users in 9 countries for WordCrafter.Pro!! My goal was at least 50 WCP users and 100 Skool members by my birthday. Which is Monday. I have the great birthdate 6/8/68. I don't think we are going to hit that mark but so damned close. If you are reading this and not here for WordCRafter.Pro that's cool too. We are a community of writers who use AI to help write stories that are meaningful and real (or so we hope). My goal for everyone here is to be productive, successful, and prolific in your writing. No matter how you want to write. We are here to help So a big welcome for: @Romina Castillo @Ricky Valentin @Steven Kinkead

I'm Michael. I built the Professional Writing System and WordCrafter Pro after spending years trying to wrangle AI tools into something that actually helps writers write better stories — not just faster ones. The Professional Writing System is a set of Claude skills to help you as authors get the words out and get published. Each skill has a group of personas who are experts in their field that let you discuss your book not order the AI to do your bidding. They help you work out ideas, build the story Bible & outline, design believable characters, write your story (with help not write for you), and edit the work afterwards. The Merch and Marketing skills step in to help you build products around your story and sell it (the most important part) WordCrafter Pro is the latest in AI Writing Aids that has the entire PWS System baked in. Here in a scrivener styled interface you can organize all of your pieces together, control your context windows, get help when needed and get the stories published! With this system you never have to write alone again. You can even talk to the persona's individually ***** What you've walked into is the community hub for everything PWS: the skill files, the app we're building, the classes, the challenges, and most importantly, the other writers doing this work alongside you. Here's what to do right now: 1. Introduce yourself in the Introductions category. Tell us your name, what you write, and your biggest creative challenge right now. 2. Grab the free PWS Quick-Start Guide at [this link] It explains the four-phase system and shows you exactly where to start. 3. Browse the Start Here posts. The PWS Overview explains all four phases. The Community Rules are short and worth reading. This community is free and always will be. A paid Inner Circle tier is coming for writers who want deeper access, but everything you need to use the system lives here at no cost. the skills themselves and the PWS Studio App I'm developing will have a cost, but if you are reading this there will be a huge discount.
