Not long ago, a friend of mine asked me to help her generate some galaxy-themed AI images. She said, “I’ve got like 40 prompts saved, all about nebulae and starfields, but only two or three work.” Then she added, “It’s like I’m digging through prompt fossils.”
And honestly, I get it.
Whether you're using Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion, crafting a stunning, layered galactic scene starts with a solid prompt. But here’s the truth:
The number of prompts is infinite. Finding the right one is not.
You might be bookmarking cool prompts on Reddit, Discord, or Twitter. You might even write your own, tweaking adjectives, lighting cues, or artist references. But fast forward a week or two, and suddenly... you don’t remember which prompt worked, which didn’t, or what you were even trying to do with half of them.
I’ve been through this myself. I tried Notion, markdown files, even using ChatGPT like a messy notebook. Eventually, the whole system became a digital junk drawer.
Recently, I started using a small tool to better manage what I call my “top prompts for galaxy.” I created a folder named “Galaxy | Cinematic Space Scenes” and added my best-performing prompts there, with short notes like “Ghibli-inspired soft glow” or “realistic starscape with depth.”
Whenever I’m creating visuals, writing about AI art, or testing new styles, I can pull these prompts up in seconds. No more sifting through chat logs or screenshots.
Of course, how you manage prompts depends on your style.
Some people love spreadsheets. Others write custom scripts.
But if you’re looking for a simple way to organize and reuse your best prompts, FlashPrompt (https://www.flashprompt.app/) might be worth a try. It’s what I use now — minimal setup, easy tagging, and recall. Give it a shot if it sounds like your thing.
At the end of the day, the challenge isn’t finding good prompts —
It’s keeping the good ones from getting lost.
Here’s hoping your next galaxy image comes from a prompt you remember.
