A "metaphor" is a figure of speech that provides clarity and mental images to words or phrases. The creative use of words is a craft, and as writers mature in their skills, those who learn the best use of words find their works becoming ever more popular among readers or listeners who appreciate the mental images these words create. Metaphors give color to your words. You can recognize the better authors by their use of metaphors. By examining what they create, you too can create words that are more descriptive and interesting. To create this second edition of Metaphors of Like, we studied fourteen successful authors including John Steinbeck, Zane Grey, Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, Tom Clancy, Robert Louis Stevenson, J.D. Robb, C.S. Forrester and Pearl S. Buck, and twenty-six books that they wrote including The Winter of our Discontent, Riders of the Purple Sage, Heaven and Earth and Patriot Games. Each of these books gave the authors international fame and huge monetary rewards. You can do the same. Everyone wins when words come alive in the minds of the audience or individual reader or listener. This book provides over 1,200 metaphors to help make your own writing more interesting and memorable. Go for it! Be descriptive and watch your success as an author grow.
