Can you build a mountain of metaphors? 🏔 That's the #writing exercise for July. Pick an abstract word like freedom or vacation or summer, and come up with as many metaphors for it as you can. Go for at least 10. Have fun with it. Here's one I wrote for vacation: Vacation is listening to an audiobook on the road. It’s a roadside milkshake blended with chocolate, cherries, and anticipation. It’s sitting on a deck and staring at the trees. It’s that mystery you’ve been waiting to read. Vacation is drinking an iced coffee without worrying about falling asleep at night. It’s walking in the woods on a path you’ve never seen before. It’s warm breezes and sore legs, moon rises and star gazing. Try it yourself and see what happens.
