Crossroads

By Lisa Reynolds

The road out of town loomed ahead. Away from this town of closed minds. She often drove to this point. But never any further. She wondered what it would be like to cross that line.

That line to freedom. That line to the unknown. A world where pansexuality was just another sexuality. Not some “weird cult” as Old Ned Flanagan said in the pub. Community atmosphere, yeah right.

But she was in limbo. Would it be any better out in that big world? Would there be another Old Flanagan out there? Probably.

So here she was yet again. At this crossroads.

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.
