I just love analogies. People who can write a good analogy are so effective at getting their point across.

I came across an article this morning at Making Money Online With Articles likening good articles to chunky peanut butter. What a great analogy! And it’s so accurate, too! You do want to separate your thoughts into short, succinct sentences. And include text formatting where appropriate so as to give some visual zing to your article. It helps people focus on your content to have bolded or underlined words. Instead of skimming, they’ll read the whole sentence.

This website lists some amusing analogies written by students in a teacher’s class. Many of them are quite interesting concepts! They make me very aware of the creative minds of young people.

Wikipedia’s definition of analogy is so dry and completely without analogy anywhere on the page. I think that’s rather odd. What better way to illustrate the concept than with an analogy!?!  It’s almost as if the contributing authors felt it would be too much of a cliche to use an analogy when defining analogy.

Analogies give zing to your writing. Just like those kids captured MY imagination, a good analogy is going to capture your attention and keep it through your article.

So,  grow on your readers like you’re a colony of E. Coli, and they’re room-temperature Canadian beef. Don’t let your mind be like Grandpas, who had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut. Hopefully, your analogy won’t be hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
