In My Day

April 21, 2015 4 Comments

In My Day by Phynne Bellecieux

By Phynne Bellecieux

Fear can be described as the image I must endure everyday, the wan visage that stares back at me in disdain and defiance.

When did this horrific transformation occur? The comedic and cliche wage endless battle for dominance on that woe. Self deprecation is either savior or villain—depending on the time of day.

Damn time’s passage.

Life would certainly be more streamlined if vanity were not a ghost appendage of my now defunct glory.

I would love nothing more than to blame life (or lack thereof), blame my relationship, blame eternal ill luck, but I would only be deluding myself.

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.
