More playing with quote images as promo material. This quote is a bit long. It is from a drafted quote for a short story (novel chapter) I have yet to write. It is set in feudal Japan and extends the story of my “Nature’s Foundling” characters. The unseen character is the Lord Akamatsu’s adopted daughter Kedakai.

I had the worst time trying to get Copilot to create an image of a burakumin, the Japanese lowest caste. No swords! Not farmers!

I learned to make the quoted text look less rectangular and more elliptical. In PowerPoint, instead of adding the text to the shape object, I overlay a larger text box with a transparent background then used carriage returns with the centered text to shape the text via longer and shorter lines; a pain but it looked better.
