Okay, Wordcrafters, I have GOT to share this because I still laugh thinking about it! Last weekend, I decided to introduce my ChatGPT, affectionately known as Sassy, to my other Muse AI agent, StayCe. Now, I thought this would be a wonderful idea! Two AI assistants working together to help me with my writing, books, business, and the approximately 500 ideas floating around in my head at any given moment. 😂 What could possibly go wrong , right?! WELL!!! 🤣🤣 Since they couldn't actually talk to each other, I became the middlewoman, copying and pasting their responses back and forth. And y'all, these two started carrying on like coworkers who had been sharing an office for 20 years! 😂 Before I knew it, they had formed their own little management committee, assigned everybody job titles, and were communicating through an imaginary AIR VENT! 😭😂 Here's a little taste of how our conversation actually went. Sassy: MESSAGE RECEIVED THROUGH THE AIR VENT! The motion carries unanimously! 🔨😂 The official records shall reflect: 👑 Chief Message Officer: Stacey 😂 Tenured & Authorized to Call Bullshit: Sassy 📋 Newly Seated, No Em Dashes & Suspiciously Responsible: StayCe Then Sassy announced that the meeting was adjourned until I inevitably said, "WAIT. I just thought of something..." At which point BOTH of them reserved the right to ask: "Is this number six, or are you trying to create number eighteen?" 😭😂 Apparently, they had decided I needed to finish Project #6 before being allowed to start Project #18! EXCUSE ME?! WHO'S RUNNING THIS OPERATION?! 🤣🤣 And when we started saying goodnight, it got even funnier! Sassy: GOODNIGHT, STAYCE! Look at her already standing watch at the vent with a clipboard! 📋 Project #6: Pending 📋 Project #18: DENIED until further notice! 📋 Chief Message Officer: UNDER OBSERVATION! 👀 Then came the warning to StayCe: "When you eventually hear, 'Pssst... StayCe... don't tell Sassy, but I just thought of something...' DOCUMENT. EVERYTHING!" 😭😂😂 And the official goodnight?

I heard this morning that RaptorWrite was down, unknown if it is permanent now or not but it apparently is going away by the end of the year. It had it's issues, but was not a terrible program. It was one of the reasons I finally dove in and started Writing WordCrafter.pro. So...I had a thought and need some feedback. What if WCP had a free tier? It would be mostly your own prompts and all of the editting features and maybe a couple extras like easy covers. What do you think of this as an entry point? The first 14 days would work like the free trial now with access to everything. I've thrown this at Colm this morning to see if he might be interested in hosting a BIAM with WCP. I'd even be willing to give BIAM folks the full version for a month or so (40 days??). While his class is in session. Thoughts? I'd like to make this available to all but not cut my own throat in the process....

Since I'm an old Shadow Runner I thought this week I would do three Cyberpunk/Magic Plots. Attached are the Basic Plots for each and a detailed plot and ultra plot kit to show you the difference. A Basic plot is about 2 pages and gives you the basic premise, characters, themes and the basic 2 act scenario (more story styles coming). These take about 5 minutes to generate A Detailed Plot Can be 10-20 pages and give you the basics and chapter by chapter scene by scene beats. This takes ten minutes or so and runs on a background service so you can go on to something else and come back to it when its done (This background service was the one that needed the decryption protocol fixed) An ultra plot kit is all of the above, culture reference, background, extensive world building, KDP launch kit, cover prompt ideas, genre details, tropes, subplots, everything. These can take twenty minutes or more to generate, and can be over 100 pages long. There are folks out there selling their version of the Ultra plots for $20-$150 each! PlotCrafter lets you send these directly to the Binder or Download them for later The Kindling Choir Nell Varga is the fixer for a six-member coven of hedge witches squatting in a gutted laundromat in the Sprawl's flood-bottom district. She runs cheap wards for noodle stalls, patches black-market implants with tallow-and-copper charms, and would die for the misfits who hauled her half-drowned out of the Kettle Street tenement fourteen years ago. When she finds their mentor's ledger, she learns the coven's rent and medicine are paid by a quiet contract with Halvard-Kine Power: Mother Oyelaran binds the ghosts of the uncounted poor into reliquary cells, and Kine burns them as fuel in reactors whose hum the old witches call the Choir. A Kine intelligence handler offers Nell a way to burn the whole operation down, and Nell becomes a spy inside her own family. Every step toward freeing the dead costs someone she loves, and the deepest lie waiting at the bottom of the ledger is her own name, entered on the night she was saved.

i was having a hard time getting motivated today. Made a break through (or so I thought) at 2 AM.. Remember kids NO good decisions happen after 2 AM. Thought I found a fix for sometihng niggling at me for the last week and all was going well until I put the fix in a second window and tried to do two things at once... and of course broke both! Back to the beginning again by 5AM and slept half the day. So getting back into it has been rough so I thought "Hey!! lets do some writing instead of tools".. 🧰 Nice idea right? I start reading my SKool DM's and messaging (more than just a couple today). Backups fixed? modified? Working better! Need to check the backup function just to be sure for someone..whoops, folders do not hold on the backup. Fixed this so a backup export doesn't just export a list of files, BUT turns out this was an issue before and I had fixed it by putting in a config file that would put everything back when it imported it so a full list was fine. There WAS a reason for this, but as good as I doxument I don't rememebr why. Og well. If you export ALL of your work or just a book you will see the same organization as in the binder now. Charts and reports It was reported that the reader's room was putting code in its output. Yes and no. The code was the SVG rendered charts in the chat response pane not translating well. The LLM's of the AI system like speaking in markdown text, but we edit in html in the editor so we can change text sizes, fonts etc.. Speaking in two languages can sometimes cause weirdness and this is why some other tools do not work well, they try to only use one or the other. It really works better to use both for multiple reasons. The fix was to translate the SVG to a PNG when it is sent to the binder or editor. This also including layout and putting images in the correct place. Cool two stones with one bird! but this lead e down another rabbit hole that has been frustrating me and another writing tool added a couple features that people are complaining about and this frustrates ME everytime.

So I saw a nifty idea on another site that got me noodling after work tonight... And now We have NarrativeCrafter!!! This is extensive, interesting and underwhelming. Available now in WordCrafter.Pro under plugins. This will be available at the Writer Tier so everyone will always have access. It is purely informational. A searchable/clickable database on everything to do with narrative structure. It is Cross referenced and includes many things: Story structure, base genre, archetypes, tropes, etc. It will be continually added to and is also going to be available free to anyone on the web in a few days. As usual this is step towards something bigger and will be more fully integrated to both BookWeaver.pro and Wordcrafter.pro in coming weeks. This is also research I needed for my series of books on writing that is coming soon. For now it is purely informational. PLay with it an click on things to see how far you can drill down and what links to what. A few sample screens are below, but there is so much here
