What about trying your hand at animation, or book cover art?
This course focuses on using AI to enhance your storytelling. More importantly, it focuses on how to incorporate AI into your writing process to make you more productive, more energized, and inspired.
We will cover how to use AI:
- Premise and story brainstorming
- Create compelling characters
- Develop settings and provide vivid descriptions
- Invert the research funnel
- Enhance conflict between characters and settings
- Alternative endings & plot twists
- Revision prompts to analyze your stories
- Story summaries and blurbs for publication
- And much more
We will also have sections that demonstrate how you can create your AI art, which can be used for inspiration for your characters, book cover art, and even scene renditions for descriptive passages. Additionally, we will spend a little time sharing some very interesting animation sites that can take the AI art images you create, combined with a script, and render it into a smooth animation video.
The goal of this course will be to get to the end with a publishable short story as a practical demonstration of the value of these tools. I will walk you through the publication process on the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform.
The process will involve:
- Metadata creation (title, subtitle, description, etc.)
- Book cover creation using Midjourney and Canva (free)
- Formatting the short story using Atticus
- Keyword search using Kindlepreneur Publisher Rocket software
Finally, there will be future videos coming for Google’s release of Bard AI (a competitor to ChatGPT), storyboarding and comic strip creation using AI tools, and more.
