AI art concepts to improve writing
I’ve mentioned it before that using AI art prompts can help improve one’s descriptive writing (though, you wouldn’t likely write in the story the same way you would in an AI prompt). Plus, it helps to round out one’s “head canon” of what a character may or may not look like as you get more…
