I use AI image creation for inspiration as I edit story drafts. Artistly has a feature that will enhance prompts input for image generation. Editing of the enhanced prompt before image creation is an option. As a test, I took the beginning of my “Activist Ana” draft to use as the prompt for enhancement and image generation. These are the test results.

** Enhanced Prompt for Image Creation **

Create a dynamic and emotionally charged scene depicting Ana, a passionate and determined young woman, standing in the midst of a bustling summer protest. The sun beats down on the crowd, casting a warm orange glow over the scene, but Ana’s fervor remains undiminished. Her bright, fiery spirit is evident in her expressive face, as she gestures emphatically with her hands, her voice ringing out with conviction as she rallies her fellow protesters. In the background, a sea of faces blends together, some engaged, others indifferent, but Haile stands out, his back turned to Ana, a symbol of his disinterest and dismissal. The banner Ana holds aloft, emblazoned with bold, black letters, reads ‘The time for action is now!’ in a font that seems to pulse with energy. As Ana approaches Haile, her eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and determination, she reaches out to grab his arm, forcing him to pause and confront her. Haile’s face, a mask of disdain, turns to meet Ana’s, his words hanging in the air like a challenge: ‘Then you are a failure.’ The atmosphere is electric, the air thick with tension, as these two individuals from different worlds clash in a moment of truth. Capture the intensity of this confrontation, the passion and conviction of Ana, and the apathy and dismissal of Haile, in a single, powerful image that conveys the urgency and importance of their message.

It was a harsh day under the summer heat. Ana was not bothered by this. She spoke enthusiastically with her fellow protesters and raised her banner higher. “The time for action is now!” She spoke with confidence, hoping her words would reach whoever was listening.

Haile ignored her and walked past her.

Ana noticed his lack of interaction and was slightly annoyed. She was used to people not paying attention to her, but she wanted to make a difference. She approached him and tried to catch his attention. “Excuse me, why are you ignoring us?”

Haile said, “Because you seek attention.” He continued walking.

“Seeking attention,” Ana scoffed, “We’re not here for attention, we’re here to bring about change.” She grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop and face her.

Haile said, “Then you are a failure.”
