He Is Seeing Us

January 14, 2021 7 Comments

By Divyansh Kulshrestha

I watch my kids play baseball. Cole, the little one, is seven, and Cody is ten. Our garden shimmers under the spring sun. The wind breezes past the blooming lilies.

Cody pitches the ball. But Cole is daydreaming and the ball flies over his head. I instinctively reach out to catch it and throw it back.

Both boys freeze. Cole points to the sky, “I told you dad is watching over us.” They run to tell their mother, “Daddy threw the ball to Cody.” She gathers them close to her chest.

Later she calls my mother. “The boys have wonderful imaginations.”

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.
