You�ve probably been writing for a long time now and seems like there is something missing with what you are producing.
Why don�t you ask yourself? How good are you in writing? is your skills in writing enough to make you proud of it?
Well, as time goes by, you don�t have to stick with what you only got. If you know how to write and you do have a passion in writing or if it�s your career for living, then you have to improve it more.
Learn new things and discover more possibilities to make your writing better than before. One way of knowing the quality of your writing is to read your work and observe any weakness on it.
Think as if you are a reader for someone�s work. How do you evaluate your writing? Does it seem like it�s too dry or uninteresting? Do you think your content lacks something?
If so, why not make it livelier so that you can hook your readers right away? To turn a dry content into an energetic one, use figures of speech in your writing.
This way, your subjects or statements will be emphasized and your readers will eventually draw out pictures in their mind what the concept of your topic is all about.
Figures of speech are really useful especially in writing stories. It is important that your audience will understand what you are trying to point out. But too much figures of speech in your writing can also ruin your work.
As far as rhetorical devices go, few can give your writing that impression of freshness as good figures of speech. They do for firing up imagination as a proofreading software does for your writing�s correctness and clarity. Using words in distinctive ways, they paint a picture that that many readers may find new and refreshing.
There are literally hundreds of different figures of speech, ranging from common ones such as metaphor and simile to less-employed tricks like assonance or onomatopoeia. Regardless of which ones you employ, using them to impart an original thought can turn ordinary text into an engaging piece of work.
Common expressions such as �stirring the pot,� �dressed for success� and �hitting a sales target� are well-worn examples of figures of speech. While using these to perk up your work is fine, do realize that years upon years of use have rendered them too familiar to make any significant impact on the reader. As such, it�s important to be inventive in employing these rhetorical devices, if you want to come up with ways to express ideas that create a good impression on your readers.
Most writers will struggle to write original figures of speech during drafting. After all, the goal of drafting for most people is to express their thoughts in as plain and as quick a way as possible. The best time to come up with creative figures of speech is during the editing stage, as you rewrite your text to express your thoughts in a clearer and more effective manner.
