Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow by Rhonda Vickery

By Rhonda Vickery

With hands twisted around the rope and hair falling like waves against flushed cheeks, she knew that this was only the beginning. She paused a moment to look down from where she came before making a vow. She would no longer look back wondering what was left behind. She would no longer allow a wall of uncertainty to block her view of what was ahead. As her hands gripped the sandstone above, she felt a tinge of pain in her left arm. Ignoring this, she hoisted herself over the crag’s crooked peak. Then rose to her feet with a victorious smile.

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.
