Official Guest Post: 30 AI image writing prompts for fantasy writers by Vanessa Finaughty
An Official Guest Post by multi-genre author Vanessa Finaughty as part of her Wizard of Ends virtual book tour! One which excellently and elegantly compliments my own AI's impact on Fantasy Art & Writing page.
_____________________________________________________________________
Morning everyone! I’m pleased to share 30 AI-generated image writing prompts today, generated with Night CafĂ©. If you’re a fantasy author, I hope you find these useful in times of writer’s block, and I hope authors and readers alike see fit to have a little fun with the prompts just because – even if you don’t have writer’s block, it can be a nice, fun ‘brain break’ to write something based on a picture.
If you write anything inspired by these prompts, I’d love to showcase it on my blog!

Want to see your own writing published online? I am listening. In short, I have gotten some emails addressed to "the Stars Uncounted team" asking about Content Writing and I respond by saying that the team consists of me, myself, and I, and that all one of us is willing to post your content. The only rule is that such a Guest Post would have to be within the context of the blog – meaning that it must relate to the Fantasy genre or be about self-publishing Fantasy. If you are interested, feel free to send me one for approval.Just remember that any and all Guest Posts must adhere to the high moral spirit of my mostly humble blog. This does not mean that I have to agree with everything you say; it merely must be well-written and thought-out.
