Write Better, Author Smarter with Autumn Bardot

 Symbolism in architecture. The ancients understood its symbolic importance. Modern architects will agree.  The roof overhead, the window gazed through, the threshold walked across, all these structural features are designed to create an emotion and feeling. Which means architecture and all of its architectural elements can be used symbolically in novels and stories as well.  

Architecture can amplify theme, foreshadow, plot, conflict, and characterization beyond the superficial.  

Remember, symbolism is never ‘this means that.’  Symbols and their layered meanings act as a diving board into a deep pool of emotional, psychological, spiritual, cultural, and intellectual dynamics that YOU decide how to mold and manipulate. It’s just one more tool for your writing toolbox.  Words are magic .Powerful magic. They’re imbued with symbolic meaning, nuance, subtext, connotation, and feelings found deep within our collective consciousness. 

Discover ways to wave YOUR writing wand.
