The Beer Glass

August 19, 2018 2 Comments

The Beer Glass

By Ronald M. Larsen

“My friend Hank would pick up a tulip glass of beer with his teeth, tip his head back, drink the beer, then set the glass back down, all no-handed.”

“Ralph, that’s another of your BS stories,” I said.

“I swear it’s true.”

I was just drunk enough to try. I grasped the edge of the full beer glass in my teeth, lifted it, and tilted. Just as beer reached my mouth, the glass broke. I sat there dripping with beer, a circle of broken glass clenched between my teeth.

Ralph grinned. “Of course, Hank did it with the glass half full.”

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.
