You know I get random ideas that come to mind, and I have to immediately ACT on them else they will float on by like a CLOUD. So, this idea of giving out author advice popped in my had and I had to share it instead of SAVE it.. 👇 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘: Create a photorealistic image featuring a book in the background and an open fortune cookie in the foreground with the fortune slip clearly visible. Based on everything you know about me and my author journey, create a short, personalized fortune about where my publishing journey may be headed next. Make the message inspiring, specific to me, and short enough to realistically appear on a fortune cookie slip. Display the fortune clearly on the paper and keep the overall image polished, warm, creative, and focused on books and authorship.

Grab this prompt and share your results 👇 (give it your photo) Create a personalized vertical infographic called “My Author Journey” based on what you already know about me from our previous conversations. Think about everything you know about me specifically as an author, writer, publisher, or creative person. Choose 5 interesting or meaningful things that help tell my story as an author. These can be anything that stands out about my journey — what I write about, why I write, what inspires me, my experiences as an author, my creative process, challenges I’ve worked through, how I connect with readers, lessons I’ve learned, how I approach publishing or marketing, what I’m currently exploring, or where I hope to go next. Do not follow a predetermined set of categories. Instead, look at what you actually know about me and decide which 5 things make my author story interesting. Every author’s infographic should be different based on their individual journey. Do not invent information. Only use things you genuinely know about me from our conversations. If you don’t know enough about my author journey to create something meaningful, ask me a few simple questions first. Keep the infographic simple, personal, and highly visual. Use a maximum of 5 sections or callouts. Each section should contain only a short headline, interesting fact, statistic if relevant, or 1–2 short sentences. Don’t feel obligated to include things like book sales, royalties, number of books published, or other publishing statistics. Include those only if they genuinely stand out as an important part of that particular author’s story. Use illustrations, icons, symbols, writing elements, or other visual details to help tell the story instead of relying on lots of text. If I provide a photo, incorporate it naturally into the design. Make the design feel personal to the author. Use what you know about their personality, writing style, interests, audience, or creative journey to inspire the overall look and feel.
