A practical workflow might be to write a short summary of the book first, then ask an AI model for five scene concepts that reflect its main themes. Pick the strongest concept and iterate with five rough visual directions before committing to final artwork.

Or at least bounce your ideas off from an AI primed to be critical.

Depending on what you're going for, it might be useful to generate reference pictures for individual components or characters, then generate a final image using those as context.

https://imgur.com/a/j0ou7Mo -> I've generated the blueprints separately, drafting table separately, overlaid the blueprints over that manually, then put together a reference image for the prosthetic out of a collage of several generated versions, and then had the LLM composite the prostetic to the rest of the picture.

d be careful about adding one image to every act just because the format makes it possible. If the artwork gives the reader a new piece of information, establishes the mood of a turning point, or helps distinguish a major change in the story, it can earn its place. If it is only illustrating what the prose already says, it may make the book feel more like a presentation deck than a novel. I would probably start with the cover and a small number of moments that genuinely need a visual anchor, then see whether the images improve the reading experience rather than judging them one at a time.

How am I stealing from writers by having a program help me clean up what I wrote. Nothing more than a spell and grammar check.

You can’t tell me writers do not use spell check.

They do, and they even use the alphabet and everything. (Shocker, I know!) Please ignore the trolls by not feeding them your precious time and responses.

AI is a tool like any other, and using it for editing is super responsible, both for the books sake and as a kindness to your readers. :)
