Children love repetition. 📖 Think of the joy in hearing “Again, again!” after a story. Repeated phrases give rhythm and help young readers join in. Try weaving a repeated line into your story—it can make your book unforgettable.

Not every day needs a full chapter or finished sketch. Sometimes progress is just a note, a doodle, or a sentence that captures an idea. Keep going—small steps build great books.

Kids live in the moment, so stories with action, repetition, and a splash of silliness always shine. Add in a touch of wonder, and you’ve got the recipe for a story that sticks!

Owls can rotate their heads up to 270 degrees? Imagine being able to look behind you without moving your body!🦉 This little piece of trivia reminds us that perspective is everything—sometimes all it takes is a different angle to see a problem (or opportunity) in a whole new way!

Writers and artists—today’s the day to just… start. Take five minutes today to doodle, even if you don’t “feel creative.” ✍️ Doodling wakes up the imagination in surprising ways! Many bestselling stories began as scribbles on a page.

Gratitude is like a creative fuel—it shifts your focus and opens up new ways of seeing. Pause to note three things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be big—it could be a good cup of coffee or a smile from a stranger. #FindTheJoy

Did you know elephants comfort each other when they’re upset? 🐘💛 They touch trunks and make gentle rumbling sounds, showing that compassion exists across species. If today feels heavy, let’s borrow a little wisdom from the elephants: be gentle with each other.

📖 Writing Tip: Children’s stories often work best when written with rhythm and simplicity. Imagine yourself reading aloud—do the words flow easily? If you stumble, so will a child (and their grown-up reading along!). Editing aloud is one of the best ways to polish your work.

Switch off, unplug, recharge. 🔌 Turning off your electronics for a while saves energy—and it also gives your mind space for fresh creativity. Step away from the screen, go for a walk, or doodle by hand. Sometimes the best ideas come when we disconnect. 🌿
