I blew my 5 hour window in less than an hour doing a pre-release code review of the entire Bookweaver app. Fixed what should be the last of the bugs, doubled its speed and cut its costs even more and added a few extras, but now i have to wait until I can it continue. Before I went to bed this morning I blew the first window finishing up the plan for a while new piece of the puzzle. Anyone interested in writing branching fiction? This is Choose Your own Adventure style books and online visual novels. I have a 120 page brief created for this. There are only a couple of tools available for the first part and ren'py is the top app for Visual novels. I originally got started writing seriously again for Nanowrimo 2023 and then got interested in interactive fiction and visual novels (pre-ai). Now I'm coming full circle with this and seeing a point where what we create can easily become interactive fiction and immersive fiction (holo novel style from star trek in VR for instance). Last night i was playing with plotcrafter and bookweaver and two hilarious plots came up on a semi-random roll that my lovely and wonderful wife thought would be awesome movies more than books and even started laying out the cast of actors needed. I mentioned that yes converting a novel to a screenplay was on the roadmap for wcp (eventually..its a long and ever twistier road) and this thought occurred to me. We are not long from becoming movie producers as well as writers. As fast as Ai generated movies are being made i can see in the very near future an app that can take a manuscript, create the screenplay, character cards, keyframes, location shots, and put it altogether at major motion picture quality. I haven't had time (or stolen/taken/kidnapped the time needed) to keep up with video. Keeping up with image creation and ai updates is the limit of my bandwidth right now. I've seen a couple of *really* good short movies made by AI (less than thn minutes) that amazed me. They need help with transitions and voices. Why do ALL ai created voices sound so compressed? two of them were made in less than a day.

🙏 July 1, 2026 – Today's Prayer 🙏 Scripture of the Day "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) Heavenly Father, Today I come before You with a humble heart, thankful for Your mercy, Your faithfulness, and the many blessings You have poured out upon our nation. Lord, teach us to humble ourselves before You, to seek Your face above all else, and to turn away from anything that pulls us from Your will. Let revival begin in our own hearts so that Your light may shine through us each day. I pray for our families, our churches, our communities, our leaders, and our country. Bring healing where there is brokenness, peace where there is division, hope where there is despair, and love where there is hatred. Help us to stand firmly for truth while showing the compassion and grace of Christ.

May our lives bring honor and glory to Your name today and always. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen. ✝️❤️🤍💙 Stacey

For the last two days I haven't been able to get Crap out of Gemini.. or rather all I've been getting is crap. 1800-2000+/- words is all I can get at a time, none of it very good and it just QUITS. and happily scampers on. I was getting great results out of Gemini 2.5 flash last week, this week nada. Testing other cheap models but they all seem really slow and off this week. Are we in the midst of a robot revolution and missed it??

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?
