⚔️ Mix in Metaphor

Creative ways into scholarly writing through the magic of metaphor

Sharpen your style and find joy in wordcraft with bestselling writing expert Helen Sword.

Dear fellow writer,

Welcome back to Swordcraft, my weekly series of short, sharp videos for scholarly and professional writers who want to hone their wordcraft, one snippet at a time.

Today’s swordsnip on metaphor is the sixth and final installment in my newest 6-part sequence for paid subscribers, Creative Ways In. Each week over the past six weeks, I’ve introduced you to a core element of creative practice — story, poetry, drama, moving, making, metaphor — and guided you through activities and prompts designed to help you integrate creative ways of knowing, thinking, and being into your own wordcraft.

This sequence runs in parallel with (and draws on material from) the Creativity Catalyst, my flagship online course for writers who want to bring more pleasure and panache to their daily life, their writing life, and their writing style.
