An image paints a picture for readers, giving them a sensory experience.
Some images are just meant to be descriptive. They're not insignificant. Nothing in story is. But they don't carry any particular figurative meaning. Not every image needs to be symbolic.
But some images carry more emotional weight. They represent the meaning of your story. They're woven into the fabric of your story, and remind your reader what your story's about.
In this episode, we'll talk about how to locate a central image and create a pattern with it throughout your story, allowing it to gather meaning and emotional weight with each repetition.
This can amplify your story's theme and meaning. And even help you organize and shape your material.
