Mickey’s Club

August 10, 2015 1 Comment

By Stephanie Kaye Brogden

Daisy had never taken the rules very seriously, until now.

Mickey had tied her hands to the steering wheel with a wiry cord. The fire licked the faded surface of the old Chevy with the fury of a teen-aged boy. Her screams resonated from the car like endless echoes broken free from a dark abyss.

Donald grimaced behind the mask that concealed his identity. In that instant, he knew he loved her with everything he could. It would be something he would always look back on with regret. Not that they had killed her, that he had let himself love her.

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.
