“like a good metaphor for the current world”

Don't use #simile when you're speaking about a #metaphor ;)

@ReadingFaithfully_org Curious about two things, if you happen to know:

1. Whether there's a similar or contrasting #simile based on #aptitude, #skill, or #talent rather than #position, #commitment, or #faith.
2. Whether there's a similar or contrasting #simile dealing with which qualities to cultivate within oneself. Maybe something to the effect of "When X is already well-developed, cultivate X still further; when Y is (already) well-developed, cultivate X first or together with Y, &c."?

Today I feel…

As unmotivated as this attempt at a simile.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.

@ReadingFaithfully_org What a wonderful #simile ! I especially like that #refinement or #purification is a clearly implied possibility without direct mention that that relies on the hearers' (or now more likely, readers') knowledge about gold so that they have to do the rest of the work themselves (and are thereby more likely to remember).

The tentative sound

Shyness is the tentative sound of the orchestra tuning up before the symphony begins. It is a beautiful, fractured piece of music in itself. It is the orchestra attempting to find its shared intent and is over all too quickly if you ask me.

~ Nick Cave, from Issue #68

*hunh*

That’s a really striking simile. (That’s a simile, right?) This goes on the pile of things I wish I’d written.

#PennedPossibilities 335 — Do you use metaphors in your writing?

Of course. Here’s one from my novella “The Temperance Ridge Runaways” -

“Johnny Cash was singing “Ring of Fire” when the truck shuddered like a hen that just got humped by a rooster.”

PURPLE PROSE MONDAY is now a thing. I decided just now. #PurpleProseMonday

Search your manuscript for the words "like a" and post THREE SIMILES you wrote in your manuscript.

I'll start.

1) Wind from the Deep beckoned the Dwarrow down like a hand tugging on cloak hems.

2) Esor could not retreat into his robes like a turtle into his shell, but he made a marvelous effort at stuffing his chin behind his cravat.

3) Ilare quietly sang, "I have been so lonely," whispering from her like a brook rippling between stones.

Get purple with me! Post a simile or three, like a child pinning the tail on the donkey! #WritingCommunity #amWriting #Writing #writingFiction #simile #WritingGames

"The economy continued to stagger around like the last stoner out of Burning Man."

You can count on #DaveBarry for the perfect, and funniest possible, #simile. Here is his #yearinreview
