Farewell Email

Farewell Email

By Zack Lux

Friends and Colleagues:

After seventeen years, it’s time for me, your faithful IT Director, to say goodbye.

But first, I have to ask: If you had access to the firm’s entire email store—like I did—wouldn’t you, at least occasionally, be tempted to sneak a peek?

And if you learned that a former partner sued the firm for discrimination—a partner who claimed that management fired her because she had “unnatural abilities”—wouldn’t you like the inside scoop?

I’ll bet you would.

Well, my time is up. Should you like to meet for drinks, drop me a line!

Kirk out.

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.
