A properly executed simile can bridge the gap between the &#8220;real world,&#8221; and the world of of fantasy. A properly executed simile can liken a fantastic thing to a real world thing. For example, &#8220;The mermaid&#8217;s fin was as a blue as an summer sky,&#8221; can help the reader believe in mermaids because it likens something they don&#8217;t know, a mermaid&#8217;s fin, to something they do know, the color of the sky in summer. It makes the mermaid more believable. I have also found that if I use too many similes, it can make the reader slog through the pages of a story like a muddy swamp. Wow! that was a good one! Anyway, similes should be used sparingly and with care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have found that similes are very important.
