I’m stuck on the illustration Power Do’s & Don’ts! I feel like I’m overthinking what my pictures should look like. I want them to be fun, but I’m worried they won’t ‘match’ or be good enough. Anyone else struggle with this part?

Hi everyone! I just did the Brain Dump Exercise, and it really helped me — I didn’t have a clear story spark before, but now I do! 🎉 I let myself just write without overthinking, and here are some of the fun ideas that came out: - What if a backpack could talk back? - Imagine if crayons went on strike. - Wouldn’t it be funny if the classroom pet ran for president? - What if a lunchbox had secret superpowers? - Imagine if homework did itself… but got everything wrong. - What if a pencil could draw things that came alive? - Wouldn’t it be funny if a teacher accidentally shrank to mouse size? This exercise was so freeing! I feel like I finally have a spark to start with.

Hi everyone! I’m Jessica, a mom & teacher from California. 🌸 Fun fact: my students call me the ‘class storyteller’! Can’t wait to start this course!
