Here Comes Jesus!

April 5, 2017 1 Comment

By Jeff Blechle

“Where? I can’t see him!” Gopher cleaned his glasses.

“Over there.” Connor pointed. “Coming out of the janitor’s closet.”

“Aw, that’s just Mr. Belding.”

“In a tunic? And wearing a halo?”

“God, it is Jesus. But I don’t want to go to Heaven yet. I’m getting my braces off tomorrow.”

Connor snorted. “What makes you think you’re going to Heaven?”

“Hey, Jesus! Am I going to Heaven?”

Then other kids shouted questions.

We found out in second hour that some girl had puked on Sister Mary’s skort and that’s why Jesus didn’t have time to answer a bunch of stupid questions.

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.
