I'm currently reading books in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and I think her metaphors rock--they are quite distinctive and often surprising.Name: Holly Bownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079363337603264641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-51557863641529193962010-09-10T04:51:58.312-04:002010-09-10T04:51:58.312-04:00Good point, Damyanti.Good point, Damyanti.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-54781710379668198062010-09-09T20:35:46.792-04:002010-09-09T20:35:46.792-04:00That picture is a great metaphor.

But they must arrive from the context, and not be imposed upon it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283371140346602856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-12199102966479439632010-09-09T14:12:12.171-04:002010-09-09T14:12:12.171-04:00well done m passing yur coursexwell done m passing yur coursexjenny wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353065499514500279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-34231285797004485072010-09-09T11:29:55.343-04:002010-09-09T11:29:55.343-04:00Congratulations on completing the course and getti...Congratulations on completing the course and getting your certificate.

(BTW, you should check out Frankie Writes regarding a Philly writers get together planned for later this month.)<br /><br />I like using metaphors to undergird theme. My MC is an artistic teen who's constantly sketching as a way of interpreting her world, problem is she mentally rearranges what she sees so she can draw it the way she wants. And that's her approach to everyone she meets, too.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-39885176594303931532010-09-09T08:47:11.158-04:002010-09-09T08:47:11.158-04:00Ted, I don't use metaphors much either.

So, like you, I try to go back and put some in.<br /><br />Many times metaphors and similes are distracting for me as a reader. They feel like an intrusion by the author, trying to be clever. I guess that's why I don't use them much myself.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-15334050031290716942010-09-09T06:36:15.928-04:002010-09-09T06:36:15.928-04:00I'm inclined to use metaphor to bring out over...I'm inclined to use metaphor to bring out overall themes, though I tend to drift off into outlandish simile half the time for comic effect.stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388674850920848503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-67675706837408517082010-09-09T04:20:54.118-04:002010-09-09T04:20:54.118-04:00Writers write, Christine, that's the chief qua...Writers write, Christine, that's the chief qualification, as far as I'm concerned.
