The Transformation

July 22, 2023 5 Comments

By Megan Huntley

Her broken body lay on the ground, contorting in pain. Bones snapped as a drizzle fell on her overheated skin. Saliva dripped down her contorted mouth. Her frayed nerve endings overwhelmed her senses. A musty smell emanated from the drenched wood nearby. Critters skittered away as quickly as possible.

One mistake: trusting the wrong crowd. No memory of how it happened. The kind-hearted girl didn’t deserve this.

A moan slipped from her lips as claws ripped through her skin. A full moon peeked from behind the clouds as a howl ripped through the night. The girl was gone. A werewolf rose.

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.

    Creepy but also full of excitement and with a nice twist at the end! I will keep an eye on you publishing new short stories or poems.
