How to Write Good

The Uniqueness of Metaphor


Listen Later

Metaphors are fun. They may be one of my favorite things in writing. Of course, they aren't the only thing in writing. Writing is a complex thing. Many different things go in to make writing happen, and good writing not only takes into account how the language works, but it also takes into account your audience, culture, the genre, and many other things. But metaphors are fun, and I think that metaphors have a special role within writing and art. I would go so far as to say that metaphors are not some subordinate thing in writing. If this is the case, it means that metaphors have more to offer. It means we need to think about them differently. They are something that not only exists in writing but effects huge chunks of our writing.
