For Lawcket, it would depend on what kind of wilderness, & time of year. He won't hunt, so can't survive forever unless it's a tropical forest with fruit year around. Rider is accustomed to life in the wilderness, but if you take away his clothing & his bow it will make his life hard.

#LitHodgepodge 14 I couldn't decide on one snip, so I'm gonna be indulgent too 😄 The first two snips here are from #GodsOfAtalantis Book 1 (ch 1 & ch 33). I love me some good similes ❤️ The second two are some simple but hopefully effective metaphors from Book 2 (Xa'aba's is short bc spoilers)

Later, as the barge made its way back to the village, Mireia found her birthmother standing on the back deck, gazing out at the sun as it went down over her husband’s ocean grave. The red-gold light, like liquid orichalcum, was dancing upon the waves—the Sun Father’s kisses upon his wild lover’s body. Mireia thought of how her father’s eyes used to mirror that dancing light, which he’d gazed upon so often it had imprinted onto his soul. ---------------- Hearing these words, Mireia was filled with an emotion she couldn’t describe—something galactically beautiful and paralyzingly dreadful at the same time. The wonder that she could mean something, that she could be something, to a little girl she’d never met ... and the existential horror of feeling herself transformed into a symbol. It was like coming face-to-face with a planet-sized version of herself, as divine as the whole vast ocean, and being swallowed up and annihilated by it. This night, a cloud blanket shrouded the sky in inky blackness, interrupted now and then by distant flashes of lightning that were mirrored in the lake’s obsidian surface. Within the remains of the temple, the flickering glow of firelight could be seen, a flower against the darkness. Here, amid the burning braziers, a group of three dozen cultists awaited the birth of their new goddess. ---------- Xa’aba’s grin was a flash of moonlight off a hidden dagger.

#LitHodgePodge I use metaphors a lot in my writing. In #YP - This one is technically a metaphor, but a simple one. In #TFTNG Aloe (and LB, but this one's from Aloe), Acanthus refers to their heart as a hummingbird a lot. Birds are timid and scare easy. In #S3, Rebecca personifies the house.

#Lithodgepodge #writingcommunity I know I have used this before, but it remains one of my very favorites with simile & metaphor.

Snippet: On Bliss And when the others stopped at the close of the hymn, Rushak's little finger caught a string, a note to spark a new melody, and a broad and complex theme ignited in his soul. He shifted key and time signature, setting it loose with a whoop of abandon. Others joined, hesitant at first, then fierce as the stars. Dancers circled in smears of color and gilt. And then—when the music crested the treetops in tongues of bright fire; when immolation brought ecstasy and drumbeats ruled his pulse; when his letra writhed, a wanton sorceress under his fingers—he recognized it as bliss too heightened to be real. And it ceased then to be bliss. Brother's Keeper A.C. Turek

#LitHodgepodge Double metaphors! 😁 Chiyo just confessed some feefees in her native language and did not expect Eru to know what she meant. He's a polyglot. Of course he knew.

He crawled towards me cautiously. One could view his approach as a predator closing in on prey, but to my understanding of Etti… he was more a young buck foolishly approaching a familiar hunter for a piece of dried sweet fruit. His crawl ended as he sat in front of me on his knees, looking down. He gently took one of my hands and traced my marks with the other. His hands still trembled through his grasp. “I hope we survive this,” he said quietly as he ran his palm beyond the circles of my wrist. “So I can properly accept your love and offer you my own. Offer you an easier life.”

#LitHodgepodge 14 I think sometimes I am overly sparing with my figurative language, tending towards the blunt and punchy. But this is from a deeply emotional moment and uses a combination of metaphor and simile to convey the conflicting feelings.

Unbidden, or at least unconsciously bidden, flames began to dance across her clenched fists, bright in the dim tunnels. And for just an instant, she could see what she would do to him, so clear that she could taste it, feel it, smell it. It was the smell that stopped her cold. She would never forget the sickly-sweet stench of burning flesh, never forget the first time… Tendrils of fear constricted her heart like a vice, strangling the anger, crushing it into nothingness. The flames died instantly.

#LitHodgepodge 14 I don't think I use any of these as often as most authors, & I'm practically falling asleep while typing. This first thing that came to mind was: 'His vision turned to burning red as though he were watching the sun melt into blood.' but I've shared that moment too many times. 1/2

A strange sense touched his soul, that the moon looked down on him and understood him, being like him, selfless, with no purpose, simply to live on shining white, but with nothing but coldness and light– Is that what he was to be? Another lifeless moon to shine as lifeless as stone, as pale as snow? A peace like nothing he had ever, in all his thoughts, even begun to think of, called out to him, as though the moon were telling him of something as new as being born, as new, and yet as old as death. For was death not before life?

Kayron is present in perhaps 2 chapter, & most of the page time for those chapters doesn't feature him. I've shared my favorite line from him too many times already, so here's the tiny glimpse we get of his POV. btw, Kayron never cowers to what he fears, he fights it.

Kayron walked to the dragon's neck. If he had feared the creature before it had been far less than he feared the prison handlers, than he feared simply being a prisoner. Now that she had spoken into his mind he did not fear her. He was certain this was real, even though it seemed like magic. He glanced about in the dark for his sister, Lencey. She appeared at his shoulder. “Take them. Just go. You'll be coming back. I'll stay with the dragon's one.” “I don't want to leave you here,” he said. “I want to go home with you. It's the faster way.” Kayron gave in, wondering if he would hate himself for it. He was the only one who could almost speak with the dragon, at least as far as he knew, which made it so he had to ride with every load of prisoners. “Anyone else?” he called, as he climbed onto the dragon himself. He just hoped the dragon's one, as his sister had called the boy he'd brought up, wasn't dying. He prayed at least that he wouldn't die until they had all gotten out of here. Kayron had felt the dragon's desperate love and sorrow, and still felt a little of it now. He didn't know if she would rescue them if her beloved died. Even if she would, he still hoped the child wouldn't die. The boy was as worthy a friend as ever this world had birthed.
