ReCreation

By Jim Landwehr

He had a free week. So, on Monday, God took man and woman aside and asked exactly what they thought they were doing. They just shrugged. Tuesday, He took all the non-extinct animals and gave them refuge. On Wednesday, He dialed down the sun’s rays to offset global warming. After a night’s sleep, He set fire to the GMO Monsanto corn and filled in all the open pit mines. And God saw it was good. On Friday, God cleared the sky of pollutants and sealed up the ozone hole. Saturday was spent remaking it all. On Sunday, He went to Disneyland.

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.

      Thanks Alice. Trying to cover some Earth issues in it and how God might deal with them. No irreverence intended, just a humorous twist to an old story.
