Agent  Provocateur

By James ( Jim ) Freeze

Sometimes she was filled with horror, sometimes with passionate desire and sometimes with just hatred. She even tried crying on my shoulder while her eyes seemed to ask why I was being so mean to her. I could not believe the lengths she exhibited to occupy my undivided attention. Even with all that there was something entertaining, even a touch of majesty about the way she knew what she wanted and how to get it. In spite of my rugged manners I thought I was succeeding in winning her over.

ā€I’m just the plumber lady, the bill is what it is.ā€

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.
