The most important trait of writing a metaphor is to have confidence and the feeling of knowing what you want to write about.

A metaphor should be clear so that anyone could state exactly what it is. It should be comparing something to something similar. If it's not exactly clear, you should explain and clarify what you mean. A good metaphor won't need any explanation and it should be easy for the reader to interpret.

I think one of the most is important aspects of a metaphor about writing is the aspect of overcoming a challenge. I saw many metaphors that incoportaed this in some way, for example many metaphors about sports that are difficult but rewarding in the end. I think that this is an aspect of writing that I really connect with because I think that the sense of accomplishment I get at the end of writing is something that make it worth it.

The most important trait of writing a metaphor is to have emotion behind it. Having emotion behind it makes it have a stronger impact.

A writing metaphor should include an end result that you attain over time. Like with a claw machine, you may not know what you'll get in the end, but with a bit of practice, you can get the hidden surprise at the bottom. It's a process that can be very fun or very arduous.

One very important trait that a metaphor should have would be helping the audience better understand something. When we compare something we don't quite understand to something everyone would understand, it takes a lot less work than writing paragraphs on paragraphs trying to explain.

When writing that feeling the beginning planning times is the most important because without a good base you will not build a strong paper. The flow of ideas falling like rain is a very good feeling as your mind is letting the words rain down out of your brain.

One important trait that a writing metaphor should always have is that writing is a love/hate relationship and you might not always enjoy the topic of writing. You have to remember that writing can be hard but once you get started, and creative juices start flowing, you can enjoy writing.

The most important part of a writing metaphor is the writing process. There should be steps and thought put into each phase of writing. Only through these phases of writing should the metaphor be applicable.

A metaphor should always have an impact. Whether it is on a group or on everyone, it should have an impact. To not only give the reader a clear image, but to leave them thinking about it all day and applying it to real life.
