Prompt
Create an image of a middle-aged African-American woman with a warm and introspective expression, sitting on a porch or in a cozy study surrounded by books and papers, with a subtle nod to the Mississippi landscape. She is dressed in casual yet elegant attire, exuding a sense of quiet confidence and creativity. The style should be a mix of realism and literary warmth, capturing the essence of a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, professor, and memoirist. The color palette should be muted, earthy tones, reflecting her connection to the American South and her literary themes. The overall mood should be contemplative, inviting the viewer to step into her world of words.
