We all use metaphor but in this class, you will learn exercises on how to create and find metaphors to take your writing to the next level!

<h2>Saved by a metaphor:</h2><p>We all know what a metaphor is: Explaining the unknown by the known. But for songwriters, a metaphor can save our song by taking the average "known" and taking it some place unique, original and interesting. In this online workshop you will learn practices and exercises that will help you find metaphors when you need them and not just by inspired accidents. You will learn how to access simile and metaphor, connecting unexpected word collisions to eleminate cliche and take our every day emotions and bring them to life in new and exciting ways.</p>
