Hi, I have published textbooks and contributed to journals. But never created an adult coloring book but have a strong vision for one. 1. What resources could help me in the classroom to do that? 2. Or what tips does anyone have for me? 3. Or who has done one, is happy with the results, and is willing to share their process or lessons learned that might help me prevent time-wasting mistakes? Thank you for any support!

Since Christmas is around the corner I thought it's a good time to get a little momentum boost with another author visualization prompt. (ATTACHED IS MY IMAGE) USE THIS PROMPT Create a magical Christmas snow globe featuring me as an author, using my uploaded photo and book cover as references. Inside the globe, show a recognizable miniature version of me smiling and proudly holding my book with its front cover facing the viewer. Preserve my facial features, hairstyle, skin tone, and body proportions. Dress me in [a cozy pink sweater, jeans, and winter boots]. Place me in front of a charming miniature bookstore decorated for Christmas, with glowing windows, evergreen garlands, twinkling lights, and a Christmas tree. Feature additional copies of my book in the bookstore window. Add gently falling snow, sparkling details, and a soft layer of snow on the ground. Keep my face and book cover clearly visible. Use [blush pink, cream, gold, and evergreen] as the color palette. The globe should have realistic curved glass, delicate reflections, and an elegant decorative base. Show the entire snow globe against a softly blurred holiday background. Combine a whimsical miniature figurine style with polished, realistic product photography. On a beautiful plaque attached to the base, include an inspirational message. Below the message, add my author name: [AUTHOR NAME] Match the uploaded book cover as closely as possible, preserving its colors, artwork, and title. Make the overall image warm, hopeful, festive, and personal—a keepsake celebrating my author journey. Format: square image, high resolution.

What happens when a courageous girl, a suspicious turkey, a very small bear, and several strong opinions gather for Thanksgiving? Two tables are the easy part. 😊 Room for Everyone: A Thanksgiving Story of Friendship, Mischief, and Gratitude is a short, illustrated, three-chapter story created especially as a free gift for our community. Meet Isabella, ready to help; Gooble T. Gobler, who wants his invitation clarified; Solomon, whose wisdom comes from the Lord; and Howdy, who makes room for his little friend. Arizona joins Lucy Belle, Tinker Belle, and the Pen Odyssey household for an afternoon of seating complications, unexpected knotwork, and suspiciously missing dessert. My heartfelt thanks to Nick Nebelsky, Paul M. Chenoweth, Robert A. Redden, and our own Krista Brea for generously sharing their characters and reviewing their appearances. Quill helped me bring this unusual gathering together in words and pictures. We hope you’ll enjoy it with someone you’re thankful for. And rest assured: Gooble is a guest. He checked.
