Metaphors are amazing. Never write anything without them. They give a new layer of depth to your writing that you wouldn't have had by just saying what you want to say. Metaphors can also make a song longer and more satisfying when you describe the same thing in several ways.

UpdateI’ve been around. Mostly dawdling on the internet and in real life, postponing a whole mess of things. As you may know, I have several creative outlets, and writing is just one of them, but it usually doesn’t take the forefront of my mind.
I still want to post some writing here. I have many, many topics on my mind that I would love to write essays, short stories or poetry on. For now, I should probably give a formal update. This is my final year of high school. It just so happens that I’m graduating a semester early (thanks to CCP courses), so the end is only a few weeks away for me. After that, I plan to get a job (looking at a music store!) and continue music courses at a college nearby. I have been accepted to a small Christian university only a few hours from home. I plan to major in music composition beginning Fall 2018. During the spring and summer, one would hope that I’d have enough time to pursue my passions (music, writing, drawing), but there’s not much reason for me to believe that unless something changes real soon. My habits are procrastination and laziness, and over the years, they’ve grown deep, deep roots. Yet I always manage to create something. No matter how busy I’ve gotten, I end up doodling in my notes, or singing made-up lyrics as I drive to school, or hearing a concept, thinking—“Now THAT would make an awesome story!” True, usually none of these end up becoming a full-blown piece, but I just can’t get away from it. It’s a big part of who I am. So—on I go. My plan is to write, update, ramble on anything I create for the next few months. Poetry. Music. Art. Stories. Essays. Can I just start now? I know it’s getting to be a long post, but I’ve done so much lately. I’ll share what I’ve done in the past month. |
