So you're a slop writer? That's okay. We all have to do what we do. However, have you considered ways of making your writing more unique and Enteresting? For today, I will give you a simple way to use comparisons that will help separate you from the average slop writer.
Let's pretend that you have an eating sequence, and you want the character to express how good the food is. The normal slop way might look something like this:
Envy ate the bread and grinned. She could taste the warm fluffy dough in her mouth. She chewed through the soft texture, her crimson eyes glittering with happiness.
Okay, that's great and all. It flows pretty well, and you can get the point. Though, you can also make the scene more interesting. Think of something not even related to eating. Imagine a pirate ship battle instead and change the scene to match.
Envy grabbed the bread, her own little pirate ship. She tore a piece from the fluffy bow, stuffing it into her mouth. The plank rocked against her taste buds, and the flavor struck her tongue. It created a turbulence in the sea of the queen's mind. The ship readied its canons, preparing to attack her with more delicious bombardments.
It's a way to make your text more interesting, and it will make a reader more engaged. You can do this with anything really. Take two unalike things and compare them. Use a battle, song, or a dance-off to describe whatever you want!
That is all. Thank you for listening.
