Bangkok Rain

February 21, 2016 1 Comment

Bangkok Rain

By S. T. Broeckx

It is fast-paced, lazy, slow, flower-scented, tropical-breeze-building clouds rippling in the heavy sky with a combination white cotton dirty gray wool.

The clouds burst and drop more water than I have seen in months.

The people have gathered into the recesses of the architectural pythagorean shadows.

Once hidden, the people are now lost in thought as to what they will do, where they will go, and how they will get there.

It is despair that has flushed them into the shadows and out of the rain as they get washed away into the abyss of time and drowned in unfulfilled lives.

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.

    I remember once when I was biking through Central Park in NYC and it started to rain. I was near the famous fountain and people started to run to get under some old architectural design. It was a hot day. I kept riding my bike around the fountain in the rain just not understanding why everyone was hiding. They looked at me like I was crazy. But the bottom line is, you can’t stay dry and be an artist at the same time. I liked your story.
