Today, I sat back down to write. Which is hard after being out for a while. I had a house with sick people (norovirus for 10 days!), and then I hurt my back/hip and have been trying to recoup from that. A while ago, I had this brilliant idea to edit Part One of my book in its Word document. I got it done; it took a few weeks, and I added a ton, took it away, and felt really good. I deleted it. And emptied my trash. I hadn’t realized I had done this. I’ve been on muscle relaxers and dealing with less sleep with sick kids, but I have been devastated.
Today I began some work again after taking a bit of time away. Losing all that work hurt so much; it also set me back. Today, I am slowly trying again. Adding, removing, editing, and hoping this is a good sign. I did it once; I can do it again and maybe have new ideas and more.
I am hopeful that this will pass. This feeling of annoyance and anger with myself. I just wanted to try to publish in March, but if it’s April, that will be okay too. Everything happens for a reason right?
Today, I am back to editing. I haven’t looked at my book in well over a week. I am hopeful I can get back into the right mindset as I try to reread it and work it. Since switching to decaf coffee, I find it harder to get going in the mornings.
It is COLD, and I have no desire to be outside. I am hoping this helps me stay motivated. Since I can’t be outside and I am finally feeling better it is time to get to my book.
I do find I keep lagging behind. Maybe it’s because being done means I need to figure out my next step. And that is scary. Do I just go straight to self-publishing, or do I dare to find someone to take me on? I don’t want to waste my time if no one will ever publish it, but I also worry it won’t take off without the right people backing me up.
I am also currently trying to read this book. I keep getting into it, but then when I pause, I find it hard to dive back in. It is just a BIG book and has a lot in it. I really want to finish, though, so I can move onto a new book. Between writing and this, hopefully, I have a busy weekend.
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!
