Here's how I write the words for my picture books. I like to actually just handwrite them, usually in Procreate, maybe on paper. I'm writing a book about waffles, so I need a lot of W words.

But I need one more W word. Whoa, whoa, Google! There it is. Whopping. Whopping Waffle. That's it. Wax museums with mammoths with wool were all stuffed with one whopping waffle? Eh.
