I’ve found a writing technique that sparks a huge reader response.

Every time I use it. Readers flood the comments. Sometimes it makes them laugh:

At other times it slaps them in the face:

But it always gives my writing more impact:

If you want to craft sentences that climb inside your reader’s head. Then, this device is your secret weapon. I’m talking word pictures.

I hated English at school. I thought similes were as exciting as reading the terms and conditions. But I’ve had an awakening. A metaphor gives your sentence a shot of caffeine. It energizes your words.
