Fairy Tale Ending

May 5, 2015 5 Comments

Fairy Tale Ending by Christopher Perry

By Christopher Perry

Everyone knows the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. Pride got to the Hare who was defeated by a humble yet determined Tortoise.

What most don’t know is what happened in the rematch. Well, the Hare trained his bushy tail off and absolutely destroyed Tortoise. Slow and steady can win one race, but talent and speed will ultimately prevail.

That is, until now.

BREAKING: The Hare is a cheater. The latest to use performance enhancing drugs.

Meanwhile, support has never been higher for the former-champ, Tortoise. The Hare could have his championship title asterisked or vacated entirely. Re-crowning Tortoise—champion.

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.
