I’ve decided to keep track of my
new favorite author’s metaphors/similes. The man is Chuck Wendig and I’m going
to call these Wendigisms. The man is a prodigy when it comes to metaphor and
creative use of the English language, the Maestro of Metaphor. I’ll be mining
his metaphorical gold nuggets and keeping a list of my favorites. I’ll be
mainlining those gold veins like a heroin junkie. That’s right, I’m addicted.
I’m sure Chuck, er, the Maestro, could have created a better metaphor there; I
am merely the keeper of the archive. He is a writer of many forms, and he
pontificates over at Terribleminds.
What … are you still here? I’ll wait…
This is by no means a complete
list, in fact it barely scratches the mildewed linoleum surface, but I intend
to keep adding more. These are posted here with his permission. I welcome your
suggestions.
