I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you. Reaching 500 members is a huge milestone, and I’m truly grateful you chose to be here and learn more about Amazon KDP with me. This community keeps growing because of you, and I don’t take that lightly. If you’re new here and have never self-published before, your first step is the Future Author Energy mini course in the classroom. It’s short, action-oriented, and designed to help you get clear on your book idea before you overthink or get stuck. The goal is simple: when you finish, you’ll know exactly what book you’re moving forward with. If you already have an idea and you’re ready to take action, this is where Premium really shines. Premium members get instant access to the Book Challenge, which walks you step by step through the full DIY process of listing your first book for sale on Amazon—outlining, cover creation, formatting, and uploading your assets the right way. 👉👉 UPGRADE TO PREMIUM HERE Premium also includes access to weekly live workshops plus all replays, so you can learn at your own pace and never fall behind. If you’re looking for guidance, accountability, and momentum, this is where it happens—for $40/month. Again, thank you for being here and for helping make this community what it is. I’m excited about what we’re building together, and I can’t wait to see the books that come out of this group. 💛

I was really thinking of playing this little game 🎲 and then saw @Liisa Reimann post it up in her community, and it's honestly been so fun. 👀 How do you play? Just drop in the comments 2 truths about yourself and 1 Lie. (don't do it in any particular order) The goal is for other members to try to answer which one they think you're lying about. Don't immediately respond to the answer - let a few people have some guesses! Then come back and respond to who was right tomorrow. 👇 I'll go first in the comment's see if you can spot my deception.

I used ChatGPT for a while to generate coloring pages, but if you’ve tried it, you already know the pain 😅 Broken lines. Weird shading. Styles that don’t match what you asked for. Too much back-and-forth prompting. A few days ago, someone who follows my YouTube channel reached out and put me onto a new tool called Colorin AI. 🌈 I’ve been testing it out, and honestly… it’s just easier. No fighting with prompts. Clean coloring lines on the first try. Styles actually look like *coloring pages* — from super simple kids pages to more detailed adult designs. I tested multiple styles, downloaded pages, and even printed a few. It nailed what I wanted without revisions, which is the biggest win for me. If you’re creating coloring books (or even just pages for kids), this tool saves a ton of time. I’ll drop my affiliate link below for anyone who wants to check it out. Pricing is reasonable, and you can use code CREATOR25 for 20% off YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT HERE If you’ve tried ChatGPT for coloring books before and got frustrated, this might be worth a look.

What was supposed to be a fun Orlando trip with park days and sunshine turned into an unexpected ER visit. We were there until 4am because my four-year-old was struggling to breathe, with wheezing, congestion, and a bad cough. He needed multiple breathing treatments, steroids, and additional meds — all while exhausted and just wanting to sleep. It was a tough night, but he’s getting the care he needs, and that’s what matters most right now. Thanks for understanding if I’m a bit less active while we focus on getting him back to feeling better. 💙 ------------------------- ANOTHER BOOK COVER is ready for review if you could please go and checkout @Nicole Lesley post you can 👉👉👉 FIND IT HERE and leave her feedback on her children's book.
