I never listen to it when it disses the “readability” of my writing. When it comes to tips on boosting actual SEO, I at least see what it has to say and decide whether or no to incorporate its suggestions.

Paula, one name: J. K. Rowling. She didn’t worry about writing over kids’ heads. And honestly, that’s an easy fix. Lose the SEO checker–I suspect it is the problem, not your writing.

I know the characters/themes and basic stories for at least 5 books (and another 5 on top of that, if all does well).

What’s stopping me? A fear of writing over kids’ heads. (Given the SEO checker on my blog constantly chastises me for writing above a 9th grade reading level, it’s a legitimate fear. But one I can work on by simplifying language for kids.)

My sister is a graphic designer and artist. Last wee she was complaining about a work slump. We’d already thought there had to be some income-producing project we could collaborate on, and when I suggested she try illustrating the stories, she didn’t brush it off.
