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.

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.

Here is a quick run through of workflows and the basics. I'll be doing deep dives into each room as I get time this week. Priority based on what you ask for! At this point I'm shifting gears from creating to supporting, so while I have a roadmap of additions taht are coming, suggestion from actual users and big fixes are the priority. Wordcrafter is now YOUR TOOL not just mine anymore. Tell me what you need and share cool things you find you can do with the class.
