Metaphors.
Well, what can one say about metaphors?
Assuming everyone knows what a metaphor is, and the author of The Daily Writer gives us a few examples today, I believe this is one of the most natural approaches to writing. We do it all the time.
However, I’ve noticed when I read stories from other [...]

Today’s reading is another favorite, so dog-ear the page.
Writing As An Expression Of Faith – the title for the day – and I believe it has one of the best definitions for “literature” that I have read in a long time. Or that is how I have decided to interpret this reading because [...]

OK listen, it was bound to happen, I’m just surprised it hasn’t happened sooner.

Oooooh, today’s reading is the kind of reading that I LOVE. It is titled, “Know Thyself.”
Yeah, I know!
I’m all excited because I love this sort of crap. Heh. It’s not crap but I like using that word in that way. So there.
I’m going to have to quote the author a lot [...]

A girlfriend of mine, Gina, and I have been carrying on a writing exercise. It is the one where she writes a paragraph and then I write a paragraph and then she writes the next one and so on and so on. Our first story we probably wrote close to 4,000 words, if [...]

OK listen, today’s reading is still a little foggy to me. I don’t know if it is because the reading itself is foggy or if it is foggy because I’m not feeling well.
The title of today’s reading is, “Reflections On Intuition.” It reads something about how artists need intuition, and something else about [...]
