Sisy stared at the screen, poring over documents for even the tiniest of errors. The task was arduous, but one more review and she was free.

Sisy usually liked staying busy. A rolling stone gathered no moss, and her metaphorical stone was in constant motion. Still, she needed a break from the computer. Lately, this felt less like a job and more like some divine, unending punishment.

Ping! Another email from her boss, which meant another document to review before she could leave. Sisy sighed but opened the document and starting working. After all, one more review and she was free.

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.

    I love this. It reminded me of the Hell Loops in the TV show, Lucifer.
