Oh, to Be a Beagle

Oh, to Be a Beagle

By David Gregory

God answered my prayers!

Forget work; I’m a beagle now.

Oh how I miss sleep. Perhaps I’ll lay on this window sill.

Is that a fire truck? ARWOOO!

Good work. I deserve a nap.

Ow, my bladder. How does Bob do this? Poor guy. He’s a stronger beagle than I. If it’s in the bathroom, Master can’t be mad…

“Stephen! Wake up!”

Where am I?

Uh oh.

Ashley is mad. Why am I so…

Oh no.

Ashley passed out in her white cocktail dress.

“I’m so sorry, but I think it’s best that I go. I need to check on Bob.”

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.
