I am an independent author/publisher with 32 published titles
I use Midjourney and Grok to generate illustrations for picture books, then finish them in Photoshop. For novels, Grok checks grammar, beats, and historical details; ChatGPT or Gemini catch what it misses.

I made a super simple workflow for turning brain dumps into an actual to-do list.
I’m pretty bad at stopping what I’m doing to properly organize tasks, so throughout the day I’ll usually just record a voice note with everything that’s in my head.
