I know you all hear this a lot but this came from some of my current line of research and testing using email chains as source material for some new nonfiction books on writing and the author business in general but the number of times I have seen a half a dozen videos on AI publishing, the anthropic watermarks, and KDP banning accounts I thought this was needed. The watermarks were added due to a new European law, and if the other LLM providers are not already watermarking output they soon will have to for compliance with the law. I have another article on this coming soon. I went looking at my competition for both Bookweaver.pro which is tremendously under used right now and for WordCrafter.pro which already has features and dimensions no one else has hit (yet..it will happen). Only ONE has a "Rights Certificate". According to two of my legal friends this is a nice fiction that really says nothing. We can only copyright that portion of a manuscript that is written by human hands at this time, but how do you prove this? By building in a Provenance layer! This has several parts to it to be of real value and the last piece of it has to be done very carefully but is the most important. ****** Sidebar: Has anyone ever seen a "certified" psychic or tarot reader? Who certifies them and under what authority? I've always wondered this. And some will explain themselves with great authority. As a personal reveal, I collect and read tarot and have for many years and will always be "un-certified" (Also working on my own deck design). In the late 90's I even met a truly serious 9th generation High Priestess of Cthulhu that was in her early 20's. Some of you should be laughing here, for those that aren't: H.P. Lovecraft first wrote of the Elder God in 1926 and his short story "The Rats in the Walls" was my first introduction to true horror and still messes with me. ****** So certifications are important even if some of them are absurd.

Sunday, September 6, 2026 🙏🦋 John 7:17 NIV “Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding us that knowing Your truth begins with a heart willing to do Your will. Lord, sometimes we want all the answers before we take the first step. We want to know where the road leads, how everything will work out, and whether we are making the right decision. But You ask us to trust You, obey You, and allow You to reveal the way as we walk with You. Help us choose Your will over our own. Quiet the distractions around us and the doubts within us so we can recognize Your voice and follow Your direction. Give us courage when obedience requires stepping outside our comfort zone. Give us patience when Your answer doesn't come as quickly as we hoped. Give us discernment to recognize what comes from You and faith to follow wherever You lead. Father, open our hearts to learn, grow, and walk more closely with You. May our choices reflect our faith, our actions demonstrate Your love, and our lives bring glory to Your name. Today we choose Your will, Your way, and Your truth. In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏 Sometimes we pray, “God, show me what to do,” while waiting for Him to reveal the entire plan. But faith doesn't always work that way. Sometimes God shows us the next step only after we are willing to take the first one. 🙏 John 7:17 reminds us that there is something powerful about choosing to do God's will. As we surrender our plans, desires, fears, and expectations to Him, He helps us recognize His truth more clearly. You don't have to understand everything today. You don't have to know exactly where the road leads. You just have to trust the One leading you. ❤️ Maybe today your prayer simply needs to be: “Lord, I choose Your will over mine. Show me the next step, and give me the faith to take it.” Sometimes it's in those quiet choices of obedience that we begin to see God's greatest answers. 🙏🦋

Saturday, September 5, 2026 🙏🦋 John 7:4 NIV “No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding us that our faith is not meant to be hidden. Give us the courage to live boldly, to show Your love through our words, actions, and example, and to let our light shine for the world to see. Lord, when fear of judgment, rejection, or failure causes us to hold back, remind us that our confidence comes from You. Help us walk faithfully in the purpose You have placed within us. Give us opportunities today to encourage someone, help someone, pray for someone, and show someone the love of Jesus. May the way we live point others toward You. Keep us humble as You open new doors. Let everything we accomplish bring glory to You rather than ourselves. May we never hide the gifts, testimony, or opportunities You have given us, but use them faithfully to serve others and further Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏 Have a blessed and glorious Saturday brothers and sisters. Sometimes God calls us to step outside of what feels comfortable. We may wonder if we are ready. We may worry about what people will think. We may even convince ourselves that staying quiet or staying hidden is easier. But what if God has given you something that was never meant to stay hidden? Your testimony can encourage someone. Your kindness can change someone's day. Your gifts can serve others. Your faith can point someone toward Jesus. You don't have to be the loudest person in the room. You don't have to have everything figured out. You simply have to be willing to let God use you. So today, don't hide the light God has placed in you. 🦋

I sat down this morning to write today's article and instead did the thing where you open the tab count to see how bad it's actually gotten. 300-something. I stopped scrolling before I got an exact number, honestly, because the exact number wasn't going to help. 79 Skool groups. I know that one precisely because I went and counted it once, for a different reason, and the number stuck in my head like a splinter. 60-some hours of YouTube sitting in "watch later," which is really "watch never" with better branding. A notifications badge I've stopped reading as information and started reading as ambient noise, the way you stop hearing a fridge hum. And underneath all of it, the actual job: write something today. Every day. Whether or not the rest of it got handled. This is the part where a normal version of this article tells you the fix is a better system. A tighter inbox-zero method. A more disciplined tab-closing ritual. I don't think that's it, and I want to actually say why, instead of skipping straight to the tidy answer. The math doesn't work, and no system fixes math Here's the thing I keep circling back to: 79 communities, even skimmed lightly, is more human attention than one human has. Sixty hours of video is a work week and a half, and that's before today's new uploads land on top of it. None of this is a discipline problem. You could have perfect discipline and still not fit 90 hours of "should probably engage with this" into a week that has 168 hours in it, minus sleep, minus the actual writing, minus the actual living. I think the quiet, uncomfortable thing under all of this is that the volume was never sized to a person. It was sized to however many creators and communities and platforms exist, all independently deciding they deserve a slice of your attention, with zero coordination between them about how much slice is left. Nobody designed 79 Skool groups and 300 tabs on purpose. It just accumulated, one reasonable-in-the-moment "yes" at a time, until the pile became its own weather system. And weather doesn't respond to a better to-do list.

I really did try to take a night off..... Watching the "Human Cleaning Theatre" (soap opera) episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. So this is one of the more ridiculous episodes (yes including the puppet episode) of the season, but the ending redeems it. After the first few minutes we decided this called for wine (a very nice moscato) and of course I cannot leave well enough alone because my little ADHD brain simply will not stop working and let me just watch a show. So I tried something new. Several things have been rolling around in my head. I wrote Friday's article and it got me thinking of some of my backlog and what one task I could do this week. Then I looked at my 68,000 unread emails. ugh. I had mentioned earlier that I'm going to release a few of my private skills to the upper tiers in skool as extra benefits. I'm seeing WordCrafter.pro as a swiss army knife of tools to use before, during, and after working on our books. Nothing has to be the ONLY tool. I'm using affinity to do layout of two books I want to get out as I work in imagecrafter to do what I need affinity for, but I will still use it for certain things after this is done as well. I'm still using Claude skills to write directly there as well as in WCP. I do not have my /Creative-Tinker-Voice skill as a penname in WCP (yet) and I like how it writes, I've been using it for a long time now and its an old friend. I have a folder in my gmail of writing articles I have been sent over the years and kept to read an use later. Well its later now. So I did a thing... I linked Claude to my gmail and had it grab all of the emails by a certain sender and combine them into a single organized file by topic broken into chapter ideas. I took this and called the last version of my /nonfiction-room skill which is now over a year old and does not work nearly as well as the current iteration in WCP (version 7 vs version 11). But well enough for initial processing and a first draft.
