Does anyone use Grammarly Pro or the free version? I used to use the free one — it lagged so badly I had time to question my life choices, make a cup of tea, and come back… still waiting for my comma to be approved. 😄 Was it just me? Please share.

I have been creating books in an 8.5 X 11 format. With the illustration spanning both pages. I also have the text over the illustrations. I am exploring other formats. What formats do you use? Do you use different formats for each book?

I am not sure if this has been discussed, and I DO NOT PURPOSELY OFFEND OR DISCREDIT THE IMPORTANT WORK OF OUR ILLUSTRATORS. As @Harleigh Manske has mentioned in a video tutorial, 80% of a children’s book is the illustrations which are to captivate the readers’ attention. My discussion is regarding using AI artistic programs that will assist in creating illustrations. I specifically am referring to 1) Neolemon ( Consistent Character program) ; 2) Readkidz ( picturebook & and story creation) How I have created my stories so far : 1) They are from my own imagination 2) Used Ai to assist in mapping out the story as I want it to be told; Ai assisted me by asking me relative, poignant questions to move my story along the story arc ( Beginning, Middle, End) 3) I divided the story up to fit on a CANVA 32+ page template ( as @Harleigh Manske has mentioned in one of the trainings in this class) 4) used Ai (CANVA Ai and Neolemon) to help bring my illustration vision to life …. THIS IS A CHALLENGE due to not having much experience in promoting ( using the right verbiage ) I am not an illustrator, and I don’t have the money to pay an illustrator. I envy the author-illustrator inside many of you. Is there anyone else in my shoes, or am I just left to swim on my own? If this has been discussed previously, please link it here, so I can find it. Thank you

https://a.co/d/06BGD1sy https://a.co/d/0236A6wB Hi everyone 🦋 I wrote 2 of the 5 books in the series from a child’s perspective, specifically for kids growing up in cluttered homes so they could relate to all those feeling that come with being in a cluttered home. This journey started when I was trying to explain to my own grandchildren why Grandma’s house was so full. I realized there weren’t many books that spoke to it in a gentle, relatable way. So I decided to write them myself. My personal path to decluttering inspired the series. I’m still learning as I go, and that’s what I share in these books: that making space isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection, compassion, and taking it one small step at a time. I hope you like 💕 -
