Patience and simplify. I have been using civitai for ideas and prompt examples. I am running amd hardware so I cannot replicate the results people get there exactly. The negative prompts are especially important.
Also probe around for seeds. Run batches of 10 or so. One or two may be fun. The rest garbage.
There is a certain excitement in coming back after the batch to see what it made. Rather addictive actually.
Lastly disk space… Downloading all those checkpoints eats up space like you won’t believe.
