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 is the second installment in a new 6-part sequence for paid subscribers called Structural Metaphors. Every week for six weeks, I’ll be introducing you to playful-but-serious metaphors to help you structure a key aspect of your writing practice.
This week, with “Table & Floor,” I’ll show you how you can use a literal table and floor — as well their metaphorical equivalents — to establish your writing priorities and find connections between the projects that matter to you most. Subsequent videos will explore metaphors and methods for structuring your writing processes, your texts, your reader’s journey, and your writing time.
Paid subscribers can find a copy of this week’s Structural Metaphors prompts at the bottom of this post.
Enjoy!
Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!
Helen
