The Thinking Behind the Prompt

allegorical story

generally gives back a story with a point as opposed to just a linear story.

writer = protagonist with a specific skill

we give our prompt a specific type of individual. In marketing terms, if our intent is to appeal to a specific demographic or type of person, we would write from that person's perspective to build connection & empathy.

desired outcome

we inform the prompt on a specific desired outcome that our protagonist is aiming for (the goal) and the desire behind it; this adds a target goal to our story that our audience can emphasize with.

the conflict - struggles defined

Conflict defined: inability to reach the goal (desire to create works of art) because of deep psychological issues.

This conflict can change based on what we want our protagonist's journey to be like, a generic deep psychological issues will give us a conflict that most can emphasize with, since most people understand that internal conflicts greatly influence external goals.

overcoming the struggle

the generic but having to overcome deep psychological issues conflict definition gives our prompt the "journey" element, even if just vaguely, the verb overcoming gives an implied conclusion to the conflict.

in the literary style - style modification

adding in the literary style of "belles-lettres" influences the language used throughout the main output, in this case "belles-lettres" gives a more eloquent output, this could be modified in a number of ways; eg: the tone and style of a specific writer.

Output One promptoutput

Alice was a talented writer, but she was plagued by the demons of her past. She longed to create works of art that inspired and enlightened others, but her inner turmoil prevented her from doing so. Despite her best efforts, Alice could not escape the darkness that lurked within her.

It had always been this way. As a young woman, Alice had been forced to confront the harsh realities of life - poverty, abuse, and neglect - and these experiences had left deep psychological scars on her heart and soul. Even as she grew older, Alice struggled with depression and anxiety. Every time she tried to focus on creating something beautiful, these lingering issues would come back to haunt her.

Alice's only hope for achieving success as a writer seemed to be in overcoming these psychological obstacles, but it seemed like an insurmountable task. She felt lost in an ocean of doubt, fear and uncertainty. It was almost impossible for Alice to imagine ever writing something meaningful or uplifting without first reconciling with her inner demons.

So Alice set out on a journey - both physical and spiritual - in search of redemption and inspiration. She traveled around the world exploring different cultures and learning about diverse perspectives on life's challenges. Slowly but surely, Alice began to chip away at the layers of sadness that had accumulated over time within her heart.

As she embraced new ideas about joy and happiness, Alice also embraced herself - flaws and all - for who she really was underneath it all: A creative being capable of producing stories full of beauty, love and understanding that could touch other people's hearts in a real way.

Finally ready to sit down at the typewriter again, Alice wrote with such passion that what emerged were tales that spoke directly from her own soul; stories filled with emotion-evoking images full of vivid colors and dreams; words bound together by intricate weavings of philosophical musings about life’s greater truths; passages crafted with eloquence and grace reminiscent of belles-lettres style literature; narratives rooted in optimism yet grounded in reality – tales that moved readers in ways unimaginable before this moment…

Alice was no longer held captive by any form of darkness – instead she allowed those shadows to guide her light instead! Her newfound freedom granted through self-acceptance enabled Alice to express herself through meaningful works overflowing with positivity thus inspiring others towards living a more fulfilling life free from suffering as well...
