Today I want to give a big shoutout to @Tom Schoenfeld ! 🙌 Tom has been leveling up on the leaderboard, participating every single day in our coloring page challenge, and he’s always one of the familiar faces jumping into our other Level Up challenges too. I love seeing members who consistently show up and get involved! 👏 And if you haven’t noticed yet… Tom is a BIG French Bulldog fan. 😂🐶 His posts always make me think of my old neighbor who used to push her Frenchie around the neighborhood in a baby stroller like it was her actual baby. LOL. Tom, thanks for being such an active part of the community and bringing some fun to the challenges! Everybody give Tom a virtual HIGH FIVE! ✋🎉

I’m going to be honest—I am NOT the best when it comes to creating children’s stories. 😂 And one of the biggest challenges I’ve heard people talk about over and over again is 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. You create the perfect character... then suddenly on the next page they have a different face, different hair, different clothes, or basically look like an entirely different kid. 🤦‍♀️ Well... I’ve been working on a solution for that. 👀 I can’t share everything just yet because I have some pretty epic things happening behind the scenes that I think are going to make creating children’s books MUCH easier. But I’ve been testing the character consistency piece, and for this little experiment I decided to use my son and my dog as the characters in the story. 🥹🐶 And YES—I used AI to create them. So I want your HONEST opinion... 👇 What do you think of the characters? Would you be happy with this level of consistency in a children’s book? I’m very curious to hear what you guys think because your feedback might just help me with something I’m building behind the scenes. 😉

Examples: * Write 2 chapters * Finish book outline * Draft my book description * Collect 10 competitor book screenshots 3️⃣ One blocker - What slowed you down or got in your way this week?

There are SO many places you can get stuck during the publishing process. Maybe you’re struggling with creating your content. Maybe you don’t know which formatting software to use. Maybe it’s editing, uploading your files to KDP, getting your listing set up correctly, or figuring out how to actually promote your book once it’s live. Sometimes you don’t need another YouTube video or another week of Googling—you just need someone to look at where you’re at and tell you what to do next. 🎥 Inside Premium, we have a full step-by-step video series that walks you through creating and publishing your first book. We’ve had members use those trainings to publish their very first book and then go on to create even more! But if you’re still stuck on something specific, I also offer 1:1 Strategy Calls right inside the Classroom. 📞 For $60, you can book a private 30-minute call with me where we can focus specifically on YOU, your book, and whatever is holding you up. Bring your questions. Bring the thing you’ve been stuck on. Let’s use those 30 minutes to figure out your next move so you can stop spinning your wheels and keep moving forward. 💪📚 👉 You can find the 1:1 Strategy Call inside the Classroom when you’re ready to book.
