She was averse to making choices. If she ever reached a true fork in the road, she’d step out of the car, set it on fire and watch it explode. There was an irony to this, but she lacked the agency to grasp it. She had no issue eating from a garbage can if some alluring bite of deli sandwich tempted her. Yet to relax before bed she could be found reading the Robb Report. When we fell hopelessly in love, I believed only death would part us. Instead, she left on a Monday saying weekends were too good for endings.
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.
Love it. Quirky and moving.
Well done.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Brilliant, so well written. I had to google the Robb Report but now I’ve learnt something too.
Your characterization of the female definitely fits the title. She has such interesting quirks. The ending surprised me but made so much sense. Well done.
