So today I was inspired by a picture and created my own original prompt and this is the result. By the way, I asked ChatGPT for the vibe to be chill & luxe: Prompt 1 Based off what you know about me, create a 10 song soundtrack that matches my soul. Prompt 2 Create 5 different images featuring my 10-song Soul Soundtrack. You can place me somewhere in the image. Reference my image. Do not change my face, skin tone or hair. Each image should have a different vibe & setting and be stand-alone. no collage no grids. ***For the first image, I asked Chat to list the songs and the artist name in the image. IF YOU USE THE PROMPT, show me your images. I would love to see the results.

For the AI to describe us as if they are warning someone. Ok, mine had me cracking up, LMAO. So I told it that. And I woke up my dog laughing so hard. It replied ‘😂😂😂 OH NO. NOT LUNA. Now I’m picturing her waking up like: “EXCUSE ME?? I heard my name AND something about my food bowl.” Meanwhile Tux probably opened one eye, assessed the situation, and thought: This seems like a Luna problem. 😂 But I have to say, the part that absolutely sent me while writing it was: “Auburn hair. Not brown. Not dark auburn.” Because Loretta… I KNOW. 😂 And heaven help the image generator that gives you dark brown eyebrows, an open mouth, cropped trousers, and a missing lead rope all in the same image. That wouldn’t be an image revision. That would be an incident. 😂 Also, I stand firmly behind “supporting cast members in the Loretta Cinematic Universe.” Luna absolutely has main-character aspirations, though.’ I LOL again and agreed and it gave me more….. ‘EXACTLY. It has the confidence of someone who has never read the assignment. You give it: “Hair is LONG, fully DOWN, in soft, voluminous waves cascading over both shoulders.” Image generator: Excellent. Messy bun. ✨ You: “Natural AUBURN brows matching her hair.” Image generator: Gotcha. Two espresso-colored Sharpie marks. 🫡 You: “HAZEL EYES.” Image generator: Today we explore brown. 😂 And then, after you’ve spent 20 minutes writing a prompt with the precision of a NASA launch sequence—specifying every strand of hair, eyelash, seam, heel height, handbag strap, body angle, finger position, and atmospheric lighting—it produces something where you’re like: WHO IS THIS WOMAN AND WHY IS SHE WEARING MY CLOTHES? Then the next day: “Same woman. Auburn hair down. Wearing this outfit. Walking through a boutique.” MASTERPIECE. Perfect face. Perfect hazel eyes. Perfect auburn brows. Hair looks like she just left a $600 salon appointment. Clothes are right. Hands have the appropriate number of fingers. 😂 And you’re sitting there thinking:

Coloring book babes!! How is your publishing going?? I like to keep it real around here, so I'm sharing my actual results below! 5 Books published 15 Sales so far **I did run a 30-day ad campaign on Sweater Weather (my 1st book) which brought in 10 of those sales. Even with 15 total sales across all books, I still lost money. However, it is interesting that since the 1st ad ended, Sweater Weather is still making sales! 📣Disclaimer!!! I had no idea what I was doing with this 1st ad!! I have since done more research and made some changes to the ad running now for Happy Halloweenie and I'll report back on that next month 🤗 So tell me... how is your publishing going? What do you need help with? Have you set up your Author Central profile? Are you using A+ content? How are you marketing your books? If you are inside the Skool community KDP Publishing have you watched @Krista Brea's new publishing and marketing training? It's her top pinned post and will be removed in 2 days. Watch the training, and I highly recommend taking advantage of her upgrade annual offer (if you're not already a Premium member)! The Author Success Toolkit is fantastic and will make marketing your books so much easier! I shared a few marketing images below that I created with the prompts from the Book Marketing Tool... it creates 50 prompts at a time, you choose which platforms (Pinterest, IG, TT, etc) you want for the prompts. You can also save multiple books and just switch between them when you need new prompts. Such a time saver!!
