By Daniel Oz
A gaunt moon-faced woman ran toward me on the street, pointing at words in an open book. Without a trace of breathlessness she said: I am sure you are unaware of this, but all of your yarns have already been spun by others. Here, for instance, is a tale Rumi told long before you did. I pretended to glance at the page and admitted she was correct. When she turned to leave, I shouted after her: But I told it long after he did!
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.
I loved it, but sadly I cannot find Daniel’s book Flash Fables to buy
