Tell us a out what you are working on or have been working on this week. Or at least give us a peak. If you need accountability partners to keep going just ask! **** I'm continuing to fight with OBS for quality recordings of classes Reworking the whole class page Editting the Manual files Helping users understand WordCrafter.Pro adding, tweaking, and updating WCP as folks send me needs and requests Because there is a limit to what I can do while away from my desk with some of that list I ummm.... Did a thing on my phone yesterday that I might be able to preview below here shortly. Dealing with the administrivia of life, three teenage boys, and 3 separate businesses I don't sleep much or often. ADHD can be a superpower (sometimes) ****

Tied to yesterdays assignment here are ten throwaway plot ideas. I did this with the PWS prompts directly in Claude asking Market Scout (new skill room added to WCP) for the top 5 hottest genres this month. My Buddy Gideon can give you a bunch of information on this and if you are "Writing To Market". He is the best one to start with to find out where the market is right now. The only other app better might be Publisher Rocket. I then asked the Story Dev team to skip the whole process and give me 2 story ideas for each of the 5 genres and here you are. If one of these sounds like fun, take it and make it yours. 10 Concept Seeds — From the Q2 2026 Heat Map FELIX, MAVERICK, and EDNA pulling at the threads. Two seeds per genre, designed to land squarely in the lane while finding an angle the comp authors aren't already running. 1. ROMANTASY Seed 1A — The Cartographer of Hollow Stars A disgraced imperial mapmaker is conscripted to chart a forbidden archipelago where the constellations are wrong, the gods are dead, and the islands move when no one is watching. She's bound to the expedition's commander — a fae-blooded captain whose family she helped destroy in a prior war she didn't know she was fighting. Every island they map rewrites a piece of her memory, and his. The hook is the slow-burn enemies-to-lovers built on a literal mechanism: the further they sail, the more she remembers what she did to him, and the more he remembers why he should hate her. Trope stack lands clean — enemies to lovers, forced proximity, morally grey love interest, slow burn — but the cartography-as-memory-loss engine is the differentiator. It's a series setup (each book = one new sea), and the worldbuilding is visual enough to BookTok itself. Seed 1B — The Last Confession of House Vergil In a city where noble families settle disputes through ritual confessions broadcast to the whole population, the youngest daughter of a dying house is forced into a binding marriage with the executioner-priest who confessed her brother to death. To save her family, she must enter the confession chamber with him as witness — and somewhere between the ritual and the ruin, she realizes he's been protecting her for years from the inside.

What is everybody doing today! My wife and I are showing off her dried flowers/resin creations at a local craft fair....up all night, using power tools at 3 am and finally got an hour of sleep before we left....and in the process fixes two more chapters in the manual aaaaaaand....while driving here my buddy claude and my skill development team there had a little chat and came up with a really cool update to image generation and the marketing and merch skill rooms. Still doodling on it today on my phone but the already working model is pretty cool. I'll do a preview in the next day or so. With a release sometime this week. There's only so many things I can do away from a bigger screen, so I take advantage of what should be "down time". Im also envisioning a WCP UI for a cell phone. I can make it work in landscape mode but its kinda painful..... "A writer writes...always and everywhere"

Goof Morning/Evening /Night in whichever time zone you are reading this! This is going to be an absolutely crazy day. I'm currently listening to two call's a once, One Ear is Colm, the other is a worky-bits thing. Any guesses as to which is louder? Today I'll be doing a recording of how to use Colm's BIAM prompts in WordCrafter.Pro AND how to bend them to work with both systems if you choose. Written instructions will be coming today as well.

Free plot ideas handed out to do with as you please. If you write one of these share at least the premis with us! As always I try to let you know how I do this... I have a Series Group named Brianstorms Under this I have a couple different Books This one is Thursday Throwaways because I'm clever And I opened a new file with todays date as the name and went to story development and asked them: "Good morning team i need 10 plot ideas in 5 random genres to throwout for a competition today, what do you have for me?"
