Writing practice: imagery

tears: condensed emotional overload

frozen emotions melting

[still too literal]

recovery seeds

[ok that’s at least a little better. recovery isn’t great, but seeds is a decent metaphor. try again with that. relate one aspect of seeds that applies to tears. i love embers of the hand because it’s two static images that conjure an action image]

emotional inkdrops

[ok but still focused on drops. still too literal. embers have nothing to do with gold]
