A metaphor in writing should help the reader understand its importance and show the emotions in a more depth way.

Writing is all about digging into your thoughts and ideas. I think that the most important trait of a metaphor is to create an imagery effect in which it helps the reader better understand the description of the subject.

Writing is like building a house. In writing, you have to build a structure before you get started for example an outline. Then you build the frame which is the main point for each paragraph. You put the walls and roof which is the subtopic and points in each paragraph. And finally the finishing touches like paint and interior which is like proofreading and revising which is essential in writing. Writing is like building a house because there is a process you must follow to be successful and have a strong house.

Metaphorical language activates the imagination and should allow the writer to be able to better convey emotions and impressions that transcend literal meaning.

Writing is often seen as difficult and frustrating, I used this metaphor because learning to ride a bike is hard and takes time to perfect. If you fail at writing you can always pick yourself back up again. Just like if you fall on a bike you can pick yourself back up again and try once more.

A good metaphor for writing shul contain life, demonstrading a living piece of work

Writing is similar to painting it is a slow and tedious. Which both produce works of art.

Whatever writing is being compared to should make the reader visualize or feel what the author feels while writing. The reader should at least understand the metaphor, as that is the entire point of writing it.

freedom. I think having freedom and not limiting yourself is very important. I also think that by giving yourself more freedom you are allowing yourself to have more ideas and not be restrictive. Freedom to write whatever can lead to less writer's block and creative decisions.

One of the most important concepts that a  writing metaphor should include is the idea of struggle and how often writing gives a sense of victory or accomplishment amidst the chaos and overwhelmingness of life.

The most important thing that a writing metaphor should clarify is how the writer goes about their writing process. For example, the 'paint' is my ideas that I mix, texturize, and layer with to create my work.
