The Bargain of the Century: Mid-Journey's Impact on Creative Freedom

As I sit down to write this article, I am still in awe of the incredible tool that has been gifted to us by the universe - Mid-Journey. This AI-powered image generation platform has taken the creative world by storm, and for good reason. For those who may not be familiar, Mid-Journey is a subscription-based service that allows users to input their ideas and receive stunning, high-quality images as output. And the best part? It costs nothing once you're signed up - just $30 per month for unlimited images.

The Imagine group, a community of creatives I had the pleasure of connecting with, recently discussed the benefits of using Mid-Journey in our creative endeavors. One of the ladies shared her experience with the tool, showcasing the beautiful pictures she was creating and marveling at how easily Mid-Journey brought her ideas to life. The conversation turned to the excitement of having a tool that allows us to manifest and create images that were previously confined to our imagination. "Isn't this amazing?" one of the group members exclaimed. "We can hire an illustrator, explain what we want, and then have these gorgeous pictures come back - it's like Mid-Journey is saying, 'I get it, I'll make it happen for you!'"

This is precisely the magic of Mid-Journey. Unlike traditional illustration tools that require a significant amount of skill and expertise, Mid-Journey democratizes access to high-quality image creation. No longer do we have to worry about AI "stealing" our ideas or collaging images from elsewhere; instead, it's like having an alphabet at your fingertips, where you can learn and apply the nuances of light, shadow, composition, and perspective with ease.

But what's truly remarkable about Mid-Journey is its ability to understand and capture the subtleties of human intuition. We often find ourselves struggling to put words to our creative visions, only to have a spark of inspiration that leaves us wanting more. Mid-Journey takes this to a whole new level by using machine learning algorithms to tap into the collective knowledge of humanity - not just images, but entire moods, atmospheres, and emotions that we might not even consciously acknowledge.

For those who may be hesitant about working with AI, I'd like to assure you that Mid-Journey is not "stealing" your creative work; it's merely augmenting your abilities. Think of it as a superpower, one that allows you to tap into the collective unconscious and bring forth images that would have been impossible to create on your own. And the best part? You can share these images with others, creating a sense of community and connection that transcends traditional notions of art and creativity.

If you're interested in learning more about Mid-Journey and how it can be applied to your creative pursuits, I invite you to check out my free book on gumroad (catherine.gumroad.com). This comprehensive guide will walk you through the basics of using Mid-Journey, from understanding its algorithms to creating stunning images that capture the essence of your vision. And for those who want to join a community of like-minded creatives, I invite you to explore the Imagine group, where we'll be discussing all things Mid-Journey and creative freedom.

As I wrap up this article, I'm filled with excitement and gratitude for the impact Mid-Journey is having on our creative lives. Whether you're a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, this tool has the potential to unlock new levels of creativity and self-expression. So go ahead, give it a try - I promise you won't be disappointed. The possibilities are endless, and I'm honored to be along for the ride.

you can imagine it really is incredible so mid journey and I am not an affiliate I have no dogs in the race with mid-journey but to me it feels like a gift from the universe like people are saying to me like ah Catherine it's 30 a month well actually the basic plan is ten dollars a month so so you can check it out at that but the standard plan is thirty dollars a month that gives you unlimited Generations which means you can create as much art as you want for thirty dollars a month which is insane before mid-journey happened over the last few years I commissioned a lot of art I paid for a lot of Art and you can easily pay thirty dollars for one piece of art for one illustration mid-journey gives you unlimited art for thirty dollars a month and the quality the standard is unbeatable I know there's all these other tools popping up there's night Cafe there's Leonardo there's playground there's all these other tools but so far none of them are coming close to mid-journey either in quality or resolution so I really really recommend checking out mid journey and I have a cool freebie for you so if you're just thinking about checking out mid-journey maybe you've got ten dollar a

pictures very much like these or you can take my prunts and adapt them and use them to create whatever image you like in this style so my book here is 20 Styles 20 effects that you can get in mid Journey so you can create cool effects like this and I think this book hopefully showcases what you can do with mid journey and really gets you started so if you're thinking of playing around with

check USPTO very quickly for trademarks not very sexy but I have been hearing a lot of stories in the last few weeks of people running into trouble with KDP because they inadvertently used a trademark in their book title and guys I don't want you to go through that so please if you're making books on KDP please use USPTO you don't have to use test check but it makes things very very simple and again it's free and we don't collect your data we don't do anything like that it just goes straight to USPTO the reason we made it is because we value you guys we value your accounts so this is a completely free tool but do you grab test check because people are running into trouble with trademarks so there you go there's some freebies on my gumroad catherine.gumroad.com and if you have

colors change the font and have completely unique pages that you can use in either your kdb books or in your printables so now I can talk a little bit about imagine and I just want to let you know that the value of Imagine is growing by the week it has been launched for three weeks now when we started we had I think eight maybe nine hours of video we are now at 11 hours of video and growing we have added two more classes to imagine and in those I show you how to make some really really cool stuff like this layered image so I have a really awesome technique for making really cool looking images like this so I have one class where I teach this you can see there's another example of it here these are layered images and also this really cool mandala here these are all generated in mid-journey and nothing else except tangent Crystal and tangent crystal is included in the course it is exclusive unique software that takes all of the gray out of images and vectorizes them so what you end up with are really crisp clean coloring book images with no gray in them that you don't even need to upscale because they're vectorized so you can put them straight into your coloring books it makes it a super easy quick process to generate a coloring book with Tangent templates you can put all your images into tangent templates and picture book will make your book for you in about 10 minutes so you can create a coloring book in a day easily we've had several people in the course who've said I started the course and yes I made a coloring book either the first day or the second day and people are just generating these amazing looking coloring books and the quality is so high these aren't grayscale these aren't fuzzy these aren't those sort of like wonky early coloring books you were seeing with AI these are really crisp clean next level high quality coloring books so as I say we've added two more classes to imagine that show you how to create these and also how to make custom coloring books for people that feature their kids their wife their friend themselves you can do that with coloring books you can make coloring books about specific people and we show you how to do that in the course as well so we have added new classes we have also added two new interviews so far and they are awesome so when we launched we had an interview with Sasha O'Hara and if you remember Sasha O'Hara is our legendary star student who took my original coloring book course and made a million dollars with her book calm the F down she really did she made a million dollars with that there's a long interview with her I talked to her for 55 minutes about what she did to Market her book what she did to put her book out there and get this amazing following that she got and we talk all about that since then I've also added a fantastic interview with Jordan Colton and guys if you remember Jordan he created horror movie coloring books based on public domain movies like Night of the Living Dead and he did so well with his books he ended up being featured by the people who made mst3k which is you know it's a popular cult TV show and they put him in their subscription boxes he had an amazing deal with them and I talked to him about his method how he marketed his books how he got their attention how he got people to follow his books so there's two star students of mine who share their methods they don't hold anything back at all and I've just added an interview with an amazing lady called Lori Colwell and if you've been around my groups for a while you may know her but she is an incredibly talented publishing consultant she has been published by Simon and Schuster she has published I think 15 self-publishing how-to books including how to Market your book and I have this great interview with her it's almost an hour long we talk about ads we talk about social media she has a whole strategy for what you should do with social media and we go into all of that so if you're worried about marketing and promoting your books then we're covering that we are covering that by finding experts in the industry people who have gone through the process and made coloring books that have done very very well we're talking to them so we keep adding to the course I actually have one more interview in the works that I did yesterday with a good friend of mine who is a very experienced PR manager and she has some incredible tips so that's going to be going into the course very very soon so keep watching because the value of Imagine is just growing by the week I also want to say that what really counts is what our students think of imagine and the reviews we've had like they are making me cry you guys have said the most kind and wonderful things about imagine and I am so grateful as I said there's almost 300 people in the Facebook group now which is just wonderful to see and you guys are really enjoying the course you're making some great books and sharing them and I I want to go down and actually look at some of these testimonials we've been adding them to the website there's actually a few more to come we haven't put all of them on here but people are saying love the course totally beyond what I expected the course is bundled with the software resources and prompt Builder amazing so not only do we have the course and tangent Crystal and if you don't have it you can get tangent templates built in at a discount price so this is literally everything you need to make coloring books just add mid Journey um but we also have a prompt Builder tool which lets you make great coloring book images we have a prompt catalog that has approximately 300 prompts in there I'm hoping to add some more to that soon because I've got some great coloring book prompts imagine works on so many levels because if you just want to get in quickly make a book put it out there you can do that we have a walkthrough that's about an hour and a half it actually is less than an hour and a half and that takes you through the whole process looking over my shoulder of making your coloring book from your first prompt to pressing the publish button on KDP so we have that walk through in there we also have the prompt Builder and the prompt catalog so if you just want a quick route to publishing your book you can grab some prompts from the catalog just tweak them I mean if the prompt features a dog you can change it to a cat or a lizard or a zebra or whatever you want to make your book about you can do that really quickly and one thing I want to say people have been saying but Catherine coloring books are saturated guess what guys people said this to me back in 2016 I think they said coloring books are saturated you can't sell coloring books and it is complete nonsense it is honestly complete nonsense because I talk about it in the course I had a niche book that I made about something I love something that's kind of personal to me I created a book about it it sold 89 organic copies no advertising now I don't guarantee anything like that I mean like you know what it's like out there you know what Amazon's like you know what selling's like but what I can say about coloring books is that you have to think Beyond like oh I'd made like a chibi avocado I've made fairies I've made pretty flowers think beyond that think niches like do people like pretty flowers yes they do but what do people love like people might love orchids people might love succulents people might love Cactus now you have niches and how many Cactus coloring books are there I don't know how many succulent coloring books are there how many Orchid coloring books are there probably not that many compared to like the general flowery coloring books but you know what Christmas is coming up Q4 is coming up and that means people are going to be buying gifts and if someone's got all the succulents they need but they love succulents maybe a succulent coloring book is what they need so don't sort of look at this and say uh coloring books they're just for kids oh they're just one Niche coloring books are not a niche and I think this is where people are thinking about it incorrectly that they're thinking well coloring books are a niche that is saturated no coloring books are just the start the niches are inside of coloring books all the niches are outside of coloring books depending on how you look at it but you can make a coloring book about any Niche you can imagine and as things are happening every day I mean take a look at the news there are things happening every day in the news and I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna dwell too much on the things that are happening in the news but if you think about this a little bit there is a lot of opportunity for coloring books about things that are currently happening in the news and people are going to want those books in Q4 and in imagine I talk about that for like two hours I talk about niches I talk about Trends I show you all the places I go to spot Trends to find niches to research them we have a research pack where I literally give you all the keywords I give you best-selling coloring products and I used AI to figure out what's likely to be popular next year and in the coming months so there is a lot of research to get you started in this course it is not just like make a pretty coloring book about fairies and put it out there you can do that it'll take you a day do it and try it if it's fun but what I really want you to be doing is making books for niches because come Q4 come Christmas people are going to be looking for those they're going to be looking for gifts for the people who love things in their life so all you got to do is figure out what those things are that people love could be pickleball it could be orchids it could be their dog could be lizards could be butterflies it could be anything you can create a book for that so coloring books are just a vehicle they're not a niche in themselves they are a vehicle for many many other niches so let's take a look at these these testimonials are amazing like I I see I bought the program last night and just listened to video two and already and blown away I knew I bought great value for money when buying imagine but this beats anything I imagined uh people are saying it's super creative and what I love is that there are people who are very experienced coloring book creators who are coming into the course it's not just newbies and this is what I mean about the course works for people on every level and also even if you're not that set on coloring books but you want to learn mid-journey this course is probably for you because I go deep into mid-journey so say there's a quick walk through video if you want to do the process quickly you can do that if you want to go deep if you want to master mid Journey if you want to master prompt engineering and really get the feel for how mid-journey works and be able to create images you want then the course has got you it really goes deep into all of those things we have a lot of advanced prompt techniques I have a mid-journey manual in here that is over 50 pages long and goes into things like chaos stylized pan and zoom aspect ratios all those things that you see at the end of prompts and you go oh what are those I give you examples I have a little book that you can download keep by your side print it off if you want and it goes into all of those things so I I just see all of these great things from you guys and I am so grateful and as I say it's not just new people I'm seeing people who are very experienced there's one person here who talks about her previous experience of making coloring books she said she used purchased art graphics and it ended up costing a fifteen hundred to two thousand five hundred dollars each for each book it took a 14 16 weeks for the illustrator to make 30 images and it was exhausting and she said now she's making coloring books in three days oh two days my entire interior completed in less than two days thank you Catherine and Isaac for an amazing course the best tools and for rekindling the creativity to get back to adult coloring this is someone who makes coloring books professionally consistently has been doing it for many years and there's more people here see uh I'm obsessed I have my husband helping me create the books he edits the thousands of images I've been creating and there's very little editing with this because we give you tangent Crystal it takes a few like maybe a minute to process each picture with Tangent Crystal just to get rid of any little extra artifacts and make sure that the picture's black and white it's a very quick simple process you don't need to learn Photoshop you don't need to learn anything complicated we give you the software it's easy to use and we show you how to use it I walk through all of it with you so here's another one I started with one book this week that has turned into a series in the same theme I'm at five for the series and I could go as high as 10 books for it and this lady oh my gosh she said I bought tangent templates ages ago and it has more than paid for itself I now have imagined for a few days and she says and I don't want to put this out there because this is not coming from me but she says it's a license to print money and I love how she says I think only in hyphen hyphen and I think that's because uh when I'm explaining prompts I say okay you're gonna use hyphen hyphen aspect ratio and so I think that's what she means by hyphen hyphen she says our only problem is that she's annoyed she has to sleep a little each day and you can read these for yourself there are so many great testimonials and this isn't all of them we've had a bunch more in the last few days that we haven't added yet so we are very very grateful to you guys for the support you have given us with imagine as I say I think this is an incredible bundle of content of everything you need for coloring books it really is everything you need the only thing you've got to add in there is mid-journey and I think everyone should be playing with mid-journey anyway because I think mid-journey is literally the bargain of the century I mean it was funny there was a conversation in the Imagine group this morning and a lady shared the gorgeous picture she was making and we were all seen there thinking isn't this amazing that we have this tool where we can use it to manifest and create pictures that were in our heads before we had to hire an illustrator explain what we want and then the pictures have come back and they'd be like maybe what we wanted I guess they're good enough with mid-journey you can generate these fantastic images it costs you nothing once you're signed up it's thirty dollars for the month and that gives you unlimited images like can you imagine if you were doing that with upwork that you had unlimited pictures it would cost you a fortune it would take forever this lets you take control of the images that you are creating which is just amazing and also I don't want you to worry about AI like we've had people go but oh isn't AI stealing and isn't AI this and there are a lot of questions about Ai and you know we answer all of them if you come into our group if you're worried about AI I will be happy to talk to you to reassure you about those things AI is not stealing it is not collaging images from anywhere else AI has learned from human knowledge like think about it like an alphabet you know it's like when you read a book the book is made up of words and the words are made up of letters and the letters themselves are made up of little tiny lines and dots mid Jenny is like the lines and the dots it has learned to that level like beyond what we can even imagine it's not pulling like oh this is a piece of art from here here's a cat from this picture and here's a dog from this picture it's not even like that it is understanding things like mood setting lighting shading and things we can't even humanly put names on about perspective and composition midgen is understanding all these tiny tiny things and using them almost like a palette to like make a picture for you it really is an incredible tool so yeah if you have any questions about imagine do let me know I'm happy to answer emails support tangent rocks is probably the best way to get hold of me or you can leave a comment under here on YouTube or you can just come and join us in one of our Facebook groups I will be happy to talk to you about AI KDP imagine tangent templates anything that that you have questions about Isaac and I are here all day every day answering questions and working to make you guys as happy and successful as we can that is our one goal and I think it hopefully shows over the years that that's what we've been doing and also don't forget to grab my inspiration book because that really is a fun way to get started with mid-journey and make images that you will be really happy with you'll look at those and be like I'm really glad I figured out how to use this tool and you'll want to show your pictures to people you will have so much fun with it you will want to share your pictures and think of the possibilities there are so many platforms out there for selling images for selling clip art for selling print on demand t-shirts bags pop sockets posters prints there is just a world of possibility out there when you start thinking about it and I think mid-journey is the biggest gift we have had from the universe in a very long time time if you can't draw if you can't paint or create mid-journey gives you that ability to put your ideas out there in a form in a visual form that you can share with people and in a way to me it feels like a dream come true it feels like super powers to me because I have always wanted the ability to draw and to show people my thoughts and my dreams and my ideas and mid Jenny lets me do that so do grab my free book it's on my gumroad catherine.gumroad.com and hopefully I will be back soon with more YouTube videos there's so much I want to talk about I have so many ideas so many thoughts it's just literally finding time to get those all out to you but hopefully I will be back soon with uh some YouTube videos and if you want more of me then come

grayscale these aren't fuzzy these aren't those sort of like wonky early coloring books you were seeing with AI these are really crisp clean next level high quality coloring books so as I say we've added two more classes to imagine that show you how to create these and also how to make custom coloring books for people that feature their kids their wife their friend themselves you can do that with coloring books you can make coloring books about specific people and we show you how to do that in the course as well so we have added new classes we have also added two new interviews so far and they are awesome so when we launched we had an interview with Sasha O'Hara and if you remember Sasha O'Hara is our legendary star student who took my original coloring book course and made a million dollars with her book calm the F down she really did she made a million dollars with that there's a long interview with her I talked to her for 55 minutes about what she did to Market her book what she did to put her book out there and get this amazing following that she got and we talk all about that since then I've also added a fantastic interview with Jordan Colton and guys if you remember Jordan he created horror movie coloring books based on public domain movies like Night of the Living Dead and he did so well with his books he ended up being featured by the people who made mst3k which is you know it's a popular cult TV show and they put him in their subscription boxes he had an amazing deal with them and I talked to him about his method how he marketed his books how he got their attention how he got people to follow his books so there's two star students of mine who share their methods they don't hold anything back at all and I've just added an interview with an amazing lady called Lori Colwell and if you've been around my groups for a while you may know her but she is an incredibly talented publishing consultant she has been published by Simon and Schuster she has published I think 15 self-publishing how-to books including how to Market your book and I have this great interview with her it's almost an hour long we talk about ads we talk about social media she has a whole strategy for what you should do with social media and we go into all of that so if you're worried about marketing and promoting your books then we're covering that we are covering that by finding experts in the industry people who have gone through the process and made coloring books that have done very very well we're talking to them so we keep adding to the course I actually have one more interview in the works that I did yesterday with a good friend of mine who is a very experienced PR manager and she has some incredible tips so that's going to be going into the course very very soon so keep watching because the value of Imagine is just growing by the week I also want to say that what really counts is what our students think of imagine and the reviews we've had like they are making me cry you guys have said the most kind and wonderful things about imagine and I am so grateful as I said there's almost 300 people in the Facebook group now which is just wonderful to see and you guys are really enjoying the course you're making some great books and sharing them and I I want to go down and actually look at some of these testimonials we've been adding them to the website there's actually a few more to come we haven't put all of them on here but people are saying love the course totally beyond what I expected the course is bundled with the software resources and prompt Builder amazing so not only do we have the course and tangent Crystal and if you don't have it you can get tangent templates built in at a discount price so this is literally everything you need to make coloring books just add mid Journey um but we also have a prompt Builder tool which lets you make great coloring book images we have a prompt catalog that has approximately 300 prompts in there I'm hoping to add some more to that soon because I've got some great coloring book prompts imagine works on so many levels because if you just want to get in quickly make a book put it out there you can do that we have a walkthrough that's about an hour and a half it actually is less than an hour and a half and that takes you through the whole process looking over my shoulder of making your coloring book from your first prompt to pressing the publish button on KDP so we have that walk through in there we also have the prompt Builder and the prompt catalog so if you just want a quick route to publishing your book you can grab some prompts from the catalog just tweak them I mean if the prompt features a dog you can change it to a cat or a lizard or a zebra or whatever you want to make your book about you can do that really quickly and one thing I want to say people have been saying but Catherine coloring books are saturated guess what guys people said this to me back in 2016 I think they said coloring books are saturated you can't sell coloring books and it is complete nonsense it is honestly complete nonsense because I talk about it in the course I had a niche book that I made about something I love something that's kind of personal to me I created a book about it it sold 89 organic copies no advertising now I don't guarantee anything like that I mean like you know what it's like out there you know what Amazon's like you know what selling's like but what I can say about coloring books is that you have to think Beyond like oh I'd made like a chibi avocado I've made fairies I've made pretty flowers think beyond that think niches like do people like pretty flowers yes they do but what do people love like people might love orchids people might love succulents people might love Cactus now you have niches and how many Cactus coloring books are there I don't know how many succulent coloring books are there how many Orchid coloring books are there probably not that many compared to like the general flowery coloring books but you know what Christmas is coming up Q4 is coming up and that means people are going to be buying gifts and if someone's got all the succulents they need but they love succulents maybe a succulent coloring book is what they need so don't sort of look at this and say uh coloring books they're just for kids oh they're just one Niche coloring books are not a niche and I think this is where people are thinking about it incorrectly that they're thinking well coloring books are a niche that is saturated no coloring books are just the start the niches are inside of coloring books all the niches are outside of coloring books depending on how you look at it but you can make a coloring book about any Niche you can imagine and as things are happening every day I mean take a look at the news there are things happening every day in the news and I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna dwell too much on the things that are happening in the news but if you think about this a little bit there is a lot of opportunity for coloring books about things that are currently happening in the news and people are going to want those books in Q4 and in imagine I talk about that for like two hours I talk about niches I talk about Trends I show you all the places I go to spot Trends to find niches to research them we have a research pack where I literally give you all the keywords I give you best-selling coloring products and I used AI to figure out what's likely to be popular next year and in the coming months so there is a lot of research to get you started in this course it is not just like make a pretty coloring book about fairies and put it out there you can do that it'll take you a day do it and try it if it's fun but what I really want you to be doing is making books for niches because come Q4 come Christmas people are going to be looking for those they're going to be looking for gifts for the people who love things in their life so all you got to do is figure out what those things are that people love could be pickleball it could be orchids it could be their dog could be lizards could be butterflies it could be anything you can create a book for that so coloring books are just a vehicle they're not a niche in themselves they are a vehicle for many many other niches so let's take a look at these these testimonials are amazing like I I see I bought the program last night and just listened to video two and already and blown away I knew I bought great value for money when buying imagine but this beats anything I imagined uh people are saying it's super creative and what I love is that there are people who are very experienced coloring book creators who are coming into the course it's not just newbies and this is what I mean about the course works for people on every level and also even if you're not that set on coloring books but you want to learn mid-journey this course is probably for you because I go deep into mid-journey so say there's a quick walk through video if you want to do the process quickly you can do that if you want to go deep if you want to master mid Journey if you want to master prompt engineering and really get the feel for how mid-journey works and be able to create images you want then the course has got you it really goes deep into all of those things we have a lot of advanced prompt techniques I have a mid-journey manual in here that is over 50 pages long and goes into things like chaos stylized pan and zoom aspect ratios all those things that you see at the end of prompts and you go oh what are those I give you examples I have a little book that you can download keep by your side print it off if you want and it goes into all of those things so I I just see all of these great things from you guys and I am so grateful and as I say it's not just new people I'm seeing people who are very experienced there's one person here who talks about her previous experience of making coloring books she said she used purchased art graphics and it ended up costing a fifteen hundred to two thousand five hundred dollars each for each book it took a 14 16 weeks for the illustrator to make 30 images and it was exhausting and she said now she's making coloring books in three days oh two days my entire interior completed in less than two days thank you Catherine and Isaac for an amazing course the best tools and for rekindling the creativity to get back to adult coloring this is someone who makes coloring books professionally consistently has been doing it for many years and there's more people here see uh I'm obsessed I have my husband helping me create the books he edits the thousands of images I've been creating and there's very little editing with this because we give you tangent Crystal it takes a few like maybe a minute to process each picture with Tangent Crystal just to get rid of any little extra artifacts and make sure that the picture's black and white it's a very quick simple process you don't need to learn Photoshop you don't need to learn anything complicated we give you the software it's easy to use and we show you how to use it I walk through all of it with you so here's another one I started with one book this week that has turned into a series in the same theme I'm at five for the series and I could go as high as 10 books for it and this lady oh my gosh she said I bought tangent templates ages ago and it has more than paid for itself I now have imagined for a few days and she says and I don't want to put this out there because this is not coming from me but she says it's a license to print money and I love how she says I think only in hyphen hyphen and I think that's because uh when I'm explaining prompts I say okay you're gonna use hyphen hyphen aspect ratio and so I think that's what she means by hyphen hyphen she says our only problem is that she's annoyed she has to sleep a little each day and you can read these for yourself there are so many great testimonials and this isn't all of them we've had a bunch more in the last few days that we haven't added yet so we are very very grateful to you guys for the support you have given us with imagine as I say I think this is an incredible bundle of content of everything you need for coloring books it really is everything you need the only thing you've got to add in there is mid-journey and I think everyone should be playing with mid-journey anyway because I think mid-journey is literally the bargain of the century I mean it was funny there was a conversation in the Imagine group this morning and a lady shared the gorgeous picture she was making and we were all seen there thinking isn't this amazing that we have this tool where we can use it to manifest and create pictures that were in our heads before we had to hire an illustrator explain what we want and then the pictures have come back and they'd be like maybe what we wanted I guess they're good enough with mid-journey you can generate these fantastic images it costs you nothing once you're signed up it's thirty dollars for the month and that gives you unlimited images like can you imagine if you were doing that with upwork that you had unlimited pictures it would cost you a fortune it would take forever this lets you take control of the images that you are creating which is just amazing and also I don't want you to worry about AI like we've had people go but oh isn't AI stealing and isn't AI this and there are a lot of questions about Ai and you know we answer all of them if you come into our group if you're worried about AI I will be happy to talk to you to reassure you about those things AI is not stealing it is not collaging images from anywhere else AI has learned from human knowledge like think about it like an alphabet you know it's like when you read a book the book is made up of words and the words are made up of letters and the letters themselves are made up of little tiny lines and dots mid Jenny is like the lines and the dots it has learned to that level like beyond what we can even imagine it's not pulling like oh this is a piece of art from here here's a cat from this picture and here's a dog from this picture it's not even like that it is understanding things like mood setting lighting shading and things we can't even humanly put names on about perspective and composition midgen is understanding all these tiny tiny things and using them almost like a palette to like make a picture for you it really is an incredible tool so yeah if you have any questions about imagine do let me know I'm happy to answer emails support tangent rocks is probably the best way to get hold of me or you can leave a comment under here on YouTube or you can just come and join us in one of our Facebook groups I will be happy to talk to you about AI KDP imagine tangent templates anything that that you have questions about Isaac and I are here all day every day answering questions and working to make you guys as happy and successful as we can that is our one goal and I think it hopefully shows over the years that that's what we've been doing and also don't forget to grab my inspiration book because that really is a fun way to get started with mid-journey and make images that you will be really happy with you'll look at those and be like I'm really glad I figured out how to use this tool and you'll want to show your pictures to people you will have so much fun with it you will want to share your pictures and think of the possibilities there are so many platforms out there for selling images for selling clip art for selling print on demand t-shirts bags pop sockets posters prints there is just a world of possibility out there when you start thinking about it and I think mid-journey is the biggest gift we have had from the universe in a very long time time if you can't draw if you can't paint or create mid-journey gives you that ability to put your ideas out there in a form in a visual form that you can share with people and in a way to me it feels like a dream come true it feels like super powers to me because I have always wanted the ability to draw and to show people my thoughts and my dreams and my ideas and mid Jenny lets me do that so do grab my free book it's on my gumroad catherine.gumroad.com and hopefully I will be back soon with more YouTube videos there's so much I want to talk about I have so many ideas so many thoughts it's just literally finding time to get those all out to you but hopefully I will be back soon with uh some YouTube videos and if you want more of me then come and join us in imagine I would love to welcome you there it has a great group very friendly very Hands-On I'm in their everyday answering questions and I hope you have an amazing week love you all guys I am really grateful for the support and the kindness that you have shown us I'm really excited with the
