I've simplified much more in my writing. I say what I've got to say, not in metaphor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writers who have nothing to say always strain for metaphors to say it in.
Metaphors are fine if they aid understanding, but sometimes they get in the way.
Language description and metaphors seem readily available. The things I have to work harder at are plot, pacing, and form.
Metaphor lives a secret life all around us. We utter about six metaphors a minute.
The thing about metaphors is that, if you give them away, you give away the mystery.
Metaphor is embodied in language.

When I can't talk sense, I talk metaphor.
I've gotten very alert not just to mixed metaphor but to any writing mistake.
Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.
