The Past Sand Grains

March 9, 2024 3 Comments

By Damhuri Muhammad

When the tide came, our footprints on the sandy beach eroded. However, I still recognized the shape of your toes, memorized the number of sand grains glued to the bottom of your heels, and how your hair flowed in the sea breeze.

They have become sand grains which were inhabited the deepest part of my mind. Even though our light-filled twilights on the beach are long gone, and the sand grains that salted your palm have returned to the ocean depths, I seclude here, waiting. I feverishly wait for the past sand grains to wash up in front of me again.

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.
