Chapter 7 Try to make the expression fresh and creative

A writer who is not original in expression cannot express any original thought. Not only do you have to strive to be precise, but also try to make it fresh and creative.Have the courage to speak your mind about a matter because "the matter itself is God".The metaphor, "cold as a courgette," was first used by some of the most creative minds shortly after the biblical account of Noah's flood.The analogy is very good, and it is so fresh that even later in Belbanga's famous feast, the metaphor still has its original freshness, so it is worth using in the speech after this banquet.But wouldn't those who pride themselves on being creative repeat this metaphor today, wouldn't they be ashamed?

Here are twelve metaphors for coldness.Don't they have the same effect as the well-worn "cucurbit" trope, but fresher and more acceptable? Cold as a frog. As cold as a hot water bottle in the morning. Cold as a rifle blow. Cold as the grave. As cold as an iceberg in Greenland. Cold as dirt. Cold as a turtle. It was as cold as snow. Cold as salt. Cold as an earthworm. Cold as dawn.It was as cold as autumn rain.While you're still in the mood, think of some metaphors of your own to express the feeling of being cold.Have the guts to try something different and write them on the other side.

I asked Catherine Norris, a female writer, how to develop a unique style."Read classical prose and poetry, and ruthlessly cut out meaningless words and trite metaphors," she said. A magazine editor told me that whenever he found two or three trite metaphors in a submitted manuscript, he immediately returned the manuscript to the author without wasting time looking at it.He said: "Because a writer who is not original in expression cannot express any original thought."
