Ouroboros

Ouroboros

By Levi Andrew Noe

Did I leave too soon?

The smell of sea salt keeps coming back to me, but that couldn’t have been you.

Did I forget something in my last dream? Did I leave my wallet, my pants, my second set of skin?

Something’s missing. That’s all I know. No beginning, middle, or end, just this. And what this is, well, your guess is probably better than mine. But I can’t find where I left you, not for the life of me. And trying to retrace my steps isn’t like looking for lost keys. Searching that way will only lead me in spirals.

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.
