Have Your Hair Cut

August 9, 2019 2 Comments

Have your Hair Cut

By Konstantina Sozou-Kyrkou

A couple of months after we met, Buzz bought me a nice pair of pyjamas for my birthday. At first, the zipper buzzed its way up and down like a smitten bee. A month later it groaned like a rusty escalator with fluttering bristles on its sides. As my hair grew longer and got caught and clogged, and hurt to untangle, it made me squeak like a mouse or hiss like a cat.

Buzz never looked away from his sports shows. “You should have your hair cut.”

I gave it some thought and then I bought myself new one-piece pyjamas.

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.
