Instagram Reels and AI

Hey Everyone, There is a lot I should be doing and I really do mean A LOT! First of all if you like to come by and read my posts please subscribe! If you think someone else might be interested in it please share. Ok self promo plug over!

Now to the real reason for this post. I started an instagram and I am having too much fun with it, truly too much, I am already in instagram jail and can’t add or comment for 7 days, who knew? Anyways on instagram I noticed people using AI to create scenes and people from books. OH MY GOD! So hear me out on this.
Have you ever had a story swirling in your head, vivid and vibrant, but struggled to bring it to life? well now you truly can. I’m so excited to share my latest Instagram Reel, born from the magic of artificial intelligence.

The concept was simple, yet powerful. I provided detailed descriptions of my characters, settings, animals, and even fantastical creatures to an AI image generator. I used exact excerpts from my manuscript. Then, the AI took over, transforming my words into stunning visuals.

The result? Absolutely mind-blowing! Seeing my descriptions materialize before my eyes was an incredible experience. It was like watching my imagination unfold on screen. The AI interpreted my words in ways I hadn’t even considered, adding unexpected details and perspectives that enriched the whole scene.

What’s even more exciting is sharing these AI-generated images with you! I am hoping some of you might care as much as I did.

This experience has opened my eyes to the incredible potential of AI in creative fields. It’s not about replacing human creativity, but rather augmenting it, offering new tools and possibilities. For me, it’s been an invaluable way to visualize my ideas and explore different artistic avenues.

Has anyone else experimented with using AI to bring their creative visions to life? I’d love to hear about your experiences! What tools have you used? Specifically, I’m curious about AI platforms that are particularly good at generating realistic images of people. Any recommendations for bringing characters to life would be greatly appreciated! Share your thoughts and recommendations in the comments below – I can’t wait to connect and discuss this exciting new frontier in creativity!

Check out my Instagram Reel below to see the magic for yourself! Don’t forget to let me know what you think in the comments!

The fear of being “Almost done”

Okay, deep breaths everyone. I’ve officially finished a full run-through of my book! 🎉 Yes, you read that right. Finished. It feels surreal, exhilarating, and utterly terrifying all at once.

Now that the first draft is complete, I’m diving back in for the first edit, adding some fun little easter eggs now that I have a clearer picture of where book two is headed. It’s amazing how knowing the future of the story can influence the present!

But here’s the scary part: this feels like the almost done stage. The point of no return. I made a pact with myself that when I finished the first draft, I’d send it out to publishers. And now… the self-doubt is creeping in. What if no one wants it?

Okay, plan B: self-publishing. But then… what if no one reads it?

Writing is terrifying! As an avid reader, I know I can be critical. I often find myself picking apart books (in my head, of course!). “Why did they do that?” “I didn’t like this.” And now, that inner critic has turned its gaze on my writing. What if I fail? What if my carefully crafted world falls flat? What if my characters don’t resonate?

I guess there’s only one way to find out, right? I won’t know unless I try. So, here I am, facing the fear, embracing the vulnerability, and diving headfirst into this edit. Wish me luck! And if you have any words of wisdom for a newbie author facing the “almost done” stage, please send them my way. I need all the encouragement I can get! ❤️
