Today I want to normalize something I see all the time. Most childrenâs book ideas do not fail because they are bad ideas. They stall because the author gets overwhelmed by timing, perfection, or the feeling that they are behind. If you are here and you have: ⢠a half written manuscript ⢠a finished draft you are afraid to show ⢠multiple ideas but no clear next step ⢠a book that missed a holiday window ⢠a story you keep revising instead of finishing You are not doing it wrong. You are just in the middle. So here is todayâs simple question. No pressure. No overthinking. đ What is the current state of your book right now? One sentence is enough. Messy is allowed. Unfinished is allowed. Honesty is encouraged. I will read every reply.
@K J I recommend ChatGPT 5.2 (paid version, $20/mo.) or the free version to start. It can do it all - text for the book and images. This keeps it simple because there are so many ai tools out there, you can't keep up. Later you can add some tools.
