August was an amazing month for me. I published "Daisy May and the Life Cycle of Plants" (which all 3 of my great-grands here liked), and had most of the manuscript and editing done for "In The Forest" but had some minor issues with some of the submission process for that one. It was finally finished over the weekend. Just little glitches but they had been time consuming and irritating to try to correct. The third time was a charm though.
I've been exploring AI for making my own illustrations and am trying now to create consistent characters, so that I can make a series of Daisy May books that teach different things. I'm trying to bring my years of preschool and early learning knowledge to a whole new generation. I always had a passion for opening little minds and giving them a love of learning.
I'm also trying to learn how to do "layers" in the programmes I'm using, how to edit and change the pictures that I create. Quite honestly, I'm quite impressed with myself and the fact that my rain is cooperating. Even when my results are not perfect, I am - at least - comprehending what I'm watching (in the instructional videos) so I know what I'm supposed to do and am just having to play around with it, to "get" it fully.
I am excited. Gosh 69 years of age and starting a "new career" albeit that I've written since I was younger but hadn't really "done anything" with it. And, surprising myself, learning new things too!
