Live Your Dreams

================================================

In 2022, I started exploring "text-to-image" AI... and was astonished.

As a writer, being able to use your words to create something visual is a whole new (and satisfying!) game.

Here, I used LeonardoAI -- and my imagination and narration -- to make my first itty bitty movie. (I hope it uplifts and inspires.)

This is a sample prompt I used to generate one of the images:

"Generate an image of a woman looking down at a big sketchbook on her lap. The woman is in her 30's with rich melanin tones, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and long tightly curled afro-like hair. Place her on a purple couch in an apartment filled with candles and plants."

The description of the woman was a "seed" I consistently used, but as you'll see, it does not always create the same character. Also, human eyes can sometimes come out weird. These are things for me to learn, tweak and improve over time.

So, I'm walking my talk... by nervously releasing something imperfect, because we all must start *somewhere*, right?
