Home Is with You

By JTD

It was like coming home from a long trip. Matt stripped naked and stepped into the shower. The warm water poured over his body before thudding to the ground. His skin was purified. After, he grabbed a pink towel off of the bathroom door and rubbed himself dry. He walked to the bedroom and climbed onto the still made bed. He sniffed the fluffy pillow taking in the lavender detergent. The carpet went in between his toes as he stood. Matt rummaged through the dresser, looking for underwear.

“Who are you, what are you doing in my house?” the homeowner asked.

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.
