My Own Revelation

By Masoud Farahmandfar

Out of the dark she came out of the devouring void the first and the last and I turned to see the voice that spake with me floating around a voice materialized into a hazy figure yet no stranger clothed with a djellaba down to the foot so dark as if burned in a furnace and her voice as the sound of many waters bidding me to write the things I have seen and the things which are and the things which shall be and after this I looked and a door was opened and I was able to write again.

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.

    The story is very allusive but has managed to remain comprehensible.

    Lovely one sentence story. If it were mine, I would not repeat “out” twice in the first seven words.

    A good foray into self-discovery. Nice job, Masoud.

    Fantastic rhythmn and pace, so poetic too, love that it’s one sentence (and not even a comma!) reads like a mystical prayer.
