A Little Behind the Scenes...
I have been a little quiet in the community lately, not because i've been absent but because i've been building a testing, and building and testing. Children's books can be a good starting place, but they are not the easiest to make. Sure, they are short; they don't take long to write, but trying to format them can be a pain. @Jessica White Reached out to me and said ... but how do I create a "spread," and again, this is no simple task unless you have tools like InDesign or Affinity, which have a pretty big learning curve; it's not so simple. I've heard from so many of you who have told me that character consistency is a STRUGGLE when you're using AI, and I am working toward a SOLVE for that. (It's getting close...) Then I realized random objects you might want to reference were also a struggle to generate from scene to scene, so I've been solving for that too. (It's almost there) So here is just one output of a story I created while I was testing, building, and improving as I go. Let me know what you think!

@Jessica White Hi Jessica, Krista mentioned your question about creating a spread. Are you trying to make one illustration span both pages, or arrange the text and artwork together?

@Rb Rathore Rb, when you asked about formatting and the next steps, did you mean arranging the illustrations and text into pages, or preparing the finished book for KDP? Are you already working on a book, or exploring the process first?
Struggling with Children's Book's AI Images?
I have been hearing from a few of you that you've been having struggles figuring out how to generate images using AI and difficulties with character generation. (Disclaimer - I have never done a children's book, and I am not a prompt master, but here's a short video I put together to generate some solid images.) Let me know if you think this helps you!! @Nicole Lesley @Lisa Z

@Nicole Lesley Sorry you’ve been dealing with illustration setbacks, especially when you already have a deadline in mind. Coco sounds like a project you’ve put a lot into. I hope the visual side starts moving again soon.

@Nicole Lesley Glad to hear things are moving in the right direction now! 💪 And yes, those painful learning curves usually end up producing the most useful lessons. I’d genuinely love to hear what ended up making the biggest difference once you’ve had a chance to work through the rest of Coco. Hope the illustrations keep getting smoother from here
