To Weave A Tapestry Of Words

A Little More On Finding Inspiration

An AI Image By The Author

Introduction

You know what the spark is that lights my fire and that enables me to find inspiration in almost anything. These are just a few words on that and I hope I can maybe inspire something in you.

So The Fire Is Lit

So far I have written approximately three-quarters of a million words on Vocal so I reckon that could make up a small tapestry.

I am finding a lot of inspiration in the Ai images that I generate.

Many are free on Pixabay here.

Although I give them a few words to create them, often many are rejected , but some of them deserve a tale to be told about them and therefore I put pen to paper, or rather finger to keyboard and start to weave my tapestry that way. Here is a recent example using one of my images as a prompt.

Other people took to this as well and one became a Vocal Top Story. I am glad that I am not the only one who can use these images to inspire our work.

The fact that others find my Nightcafe work stimulating makes me feel that I am doing something worthwhile and that others feel that too. They are helping me write this piece too. Here is a little about how I create my artwork and why I do it.

I can be inspired by so many visual things but these images provide quite a lot of stimulation and I intend to run more prompts and challenges in The Vocal Social Society just using my images. Our membership is growing almost daily and we have a lot of stories shared and read by our members.

So it may be a landscape, and architectural feature, a monster or some classical figure, all of these can, with the ade of my spark, result in poetry and fiction and articles like this.

I would love to know what inspires you, please let me know in your comments.

    Inspration is everywhere. I'm a pretty visual peson so images definitely help! An interesting read, thank you!

  • I just cannot get inspired by a picture. I just can't. In fact, nothing inspires me. I just depend on Mr Brain. When he wants, he'll just drop an idea and I'll work on it. Lol

    I sometimes get inspired by picture as well. Sometimes a song, sometimes a joke, and sometimes things pop up in my head for no particular conscious reason. Wonderful piece. Well done, Mike.
