I Look Forward To These Witching Hours.

I wish someone told me to just imagine my characters oversharing and going from there

Here is my "Get It Together Plan." I use this whenever I feel myself reverting to victim behaviors or my life feels it's falling apart.

What Is a Simile?

Unlike metaphors, similes create a comparison using like and as. Perhaps you’ll recognize this famous example of simile from Forrest Gump: “Life is like a box of chocolates.”

In this case, the reader is more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that’s being made versus a metaphor or analogy. (Remember, a simile is a type of metaphor.) When it comes to simile use in writing, a good rule of thumb is to approach with caution and use similes sparingly.

Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.”

In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”

They're all important when writing though. Making unconventional comparisons at times using similes and metaphors can add to your writing and make it much more layered and sophesticated. Eg:

His words wrapped themselves around me like Thorny vines of a spiteful plant, no more like the warm embrace of the sun on your skin.

Hope that was somewhat useful and In easy terms! Like, share and follow!

Reminder that whatever you’re writing, you shouldn’t give up because no one else can put the puzzle together the same way you can. It’s unique to you, so stop comparing yourselves to others. That completely eliminates the whole purpose. 

forgive me for all the things I did,

but mostly for the ones I did not

dear authors, if a character has dark ANYTHING, why does it have to be likened to food 😒
