To all those who have birthed children... may you be blessed mightily this day and coming year. If you are alone, look in the mirror and wrap your arms around yourself. Look yourself in the eyes. And repeat this, "Happy Mother's day!" Now, point your index finger at your reflection and back at yourself. "We are going to celebrate. So, get gussied up, do your makeup as if you are going to ball. Hold your head high and call a friend to join you. If you drink have a glass of champagne or mimosa with breakfast, enjoy this time. If you are with family, let them, please let them, celebrate you. Sit back and enjoy the good wishes and hugs, sticky fingered and all. Remember you are the Mother of future generations... and you can be a mother in more ways than one. From four legged kids to two... and the biggest meanest mother on the block when someone messes with your kid. You are AWESOME.

How is everyone doing this week? This is the start of the BIAM accountability post in PWS. If you are working through the BIAM course this month, feel free to comment here on your progress. 😊 My progress this week: I have uploaded all of Colm's prompts to my WCP settings, created a separate binder, series, and book for BIAM May 2026, and run them as written. I have had some pretty exciting ideas. My idea for this month will be a YA mystical fantasy (my genre of choice), in which my character will find a balance between her powers and her mental well-being. Working title: Moon Songs. I will also share a writer-inspired quote each week to help keep us motivated. I cannot wait to hear how your week has been.

Dear Heavenly Father, blessed be Your name. Thank You for hearing our cries for mercy and being our strength and shield through every season of life. In You our hearts trust, and because of You we are helped, strengthened, and lifted up with gratitude and praise. To God be the glory yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In the mighty name of Christ Jesus, our precious Lord and Savior, we humbly pray, AMEN. You.Are.Loved. Stacey Brooks | TheGo2Writer

A mother’s love is soft yet strong, A steady place where hearts belong. Through sleepless nights and weary days, She guides her family through life’s maze. With gentle hands and faithful prayer, She shows her love is always there. Through every storm and every test, A mother gives her very best. Her hugs bring peace, her words bring light, She comforts souls through darkest night. Though time may pass and children grow, A mother’s love will always show. So on this day, may mothers see How deeply cherished they will be. For every sacrifice made along the way, We honor and thank our mothers today. Happy Mother’s Day to the women whose love, strength, faith, and prayers help hold families together every single day.

I'm in total agony and I've decided to believe that I'm doing something wrong... Has something changed that I don't know? Because I'm doing everything as before, the same very precise prompts that always worked, added all the files from the Codex that I even modified to be practical and with exactly the information that is needed but Claude is acting like he has serious brain damage... basic things that a 5 year old would understand he doesn't understand, for example for one character in my novel it says that she understood some things when she was 12 and the profile says she is 18 and now he refuses to work until that is corrected. To be honest, what am I doing wrong and why is the max package with precise instructions system and user prompts acting like a drunken totally disinterested assistant who is there because it has to be there and is still convincing me brazenly. I'm too angry to understand if I even asked the question nicely, that is the problem but please help me, God willing.
