Today I want to put the community spotlight on @Nicole Lesley and the vision she has for bringing her character Coco to life! 💛 Nicole has been doing so many of the right things to move her book forward, but unfortunately, she’s hit some frustrating setbacks with the illustration process. Sometimes publishing throws obstacles at us that we simply can’t control. Because of those delays, Nicole may not be able to release her book by the original deadline she set for herself—but what I love is that she’s still determined to keep going. And that’s what this journey is really about. A missed deadline doesn’t mean a failed goal. Sometimes the timeline changes, but the vision stays the same. So let’s 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 as she keeps pushing forward and brings Coco one step closer to becoming a real book! 📚✨ And Nicole, thank you so much for the amazing review you left for the community. I truly value your words, appreciate everything you contribute here, and I’m excited to see your vision come to life! ❤️ Drop some encouragement for Nicole below! 👇

Grab this prompt and share your results 👇 (give it your photo) Create a personalized vertical infographic called “My Author Journey” based on what you already know about me from our previous conversations. Think about everything you know about me specifically as an author, writer, publisher, or creative person. Choose 5 interesting or meaningful things that help tell my story as an author. These can be anything that stands out about my journey — what I write about, why I write, what inspires me, my experiences as an author, my creative process, challenges I’ve worked through, how I connect with readers, lessons I’ve learned, how I approach publishing or marketing, what I’m currently exploring, or where I hope to go next. Do not follow a predetermined set of categories. Instead, look at what you actually know about me and decide which 5 things make my author story interesting. Every author’s infographic should be different based on their individual journey. Do not invent information. Only use things you genuinely know about me from our conversations. If you don’t know enough about my author journey to create something meaningful, ask me a few simple questions first. Keep the infographic simple, personal, and highly visual. Use a maximum of 5 sections or callouts. Each section should contain only a short headline, interesting fact, statistic if relevant, or 1–2 short sentences. Don’t feel obligated to include things like book sales, royalties, number of books published, or other publishing statistics. Include those only if they genuinely stand out as an important part of that particular author’s story. Use illustrations, icons, symbols, writing elements, or other visual details to help tell the story instead of relying on lots of text. If I provide a photo, incorporate it naturally into the design. Make the design feel personal to the author. Use what you know about their personality, writing style, interests, audience, or creative journey to inspire the overall look and feel.
