Driving along this gorge feels like being in the forested veins of some great, granitic creature. Or, if not the veins, the deep runnels in the surface of its dark hide. In an hour we arrive in Westport. It is a port on the West coast of the island. Victorian settlers in clothes they wore like chain-mail were never ones for creativity. What a defeated town. Coal-smoke hangs and blends with the shivering morning air. Flat, wide streets splayed. Two cars ooze past us. Bryan peers over the steering wheel. “It’s good to be back in the old hole isn’t it?”
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.
