Wednesday - Midweek Check-in

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.

Directional Shift

So what if WCP becomes a very nice AI enabled story editing platform that can use multiple systems, outliner friendly, pantser friendly, discovery writer friendly, fiction, non fiction, etc. One place where you could come and write anything with any AI help and call the frameworks you want to work with or----(AI em dashes)--- MIX them up. We can mix genre's why can't we mix writing frameworks?

Frameworks and Automation

So this spawned something this morning...I'm going to give in and do an automation as our first new workflow. But what if it wasn't very complicated and just worked? Talk your idea out with the brainstorm team in their coffee shop. Take the Brief to Story Development and work out all your details and get all the materials you need for the Writer's room, but walking down the hall you see a new door to try? You checkmark all your materials for context and let our new guy take a swing at it, set it to check every chapter, every 3 or 4 chapters, or just run with it. The Editorial team looks at each as it finishes to verify against the outline and story bible and does a quality and voice check and if it's not good enough tosses it back until it is before moving on. When finished you can read/edit send it to the PWS editorial team or a human editor.

Now what if -- you could modify how all that works as well and create your own version of the sequence, easily? I worked out the framework and the basic code base before i was really awake this morning instead of the morning doom scroll. Could be ready to test pretty quick.

I did get ten minutes last night to look at ConceptCrafter. It works and that's all I'm saying for now.

The next piece of the puzzle is BookWeaver, and its based on some of the ConceptCrafter code so will come together very quickly for designing your book interior layouts and covers. And there are two more additions in the works, but they are just notes on a page right now.

If anyone has thoughts on the Frameworks idea please toss them here. I'm thinking workflows and specific story structures. Which reminds me to finish those two Structure books. The funny part is that what they are missing is what we need BookWeaver for.
