Weather for Two by Bunmi Oke

By Bunmi Oke

“I should leave now. So should you,” wriggling most reluctantly out of a cozy embrace. “You can have more tomorrow.”

“But why wait till tomorrow to have what I can now? Besides, what’s a weather like this for?” he cooed. So, she gave, he had, and they gave and had some more.

Until tomorrow became today.

Body temperature sustained them. Perhaps not much, because now—in the icy winter that’s irreverent of their warm affection—immobilized lip to lip and hip to hip in the back seat of the snow-submerged sedan are the heartthrobs, frozen inseparably in that weather for two.

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.
