A gull meandered above them, trailing its white wings like a paintbrush across the sky, simultaneously screaming its arrival to all below.

She held her mast proudly upwards in a self surrendered placidity to the wind that whipped like whetstone on her silver blade.

One hour of exploring the colorful world of words and how to use them to paint vivid captivating stories.
I am passionate about language and storytelling and love sharing this passion with others.
My lessons look like:
1. Discussing storylines.
2. Discussing story formats (how to begin and end well).
3. How to improve your vocabulary and use of language tools (I am the master of a good metaphor).
We will work through writing step by step and I will proofread and edit at the end.
Perfect for students young and old!
