3: 06 / A ~ Introduction / Enhancements

Apostrophes ~ no, not the mark of punctuation. It's the literary term. Know what it is?

How about paradox? Sure on that?

Chiasmus: my favorite, people enjoy when they see it, but do you know the term when you want to practice it? Can I stump you with these?

Polysyndeton. Epistrophe.

These are all Enhancements that can help your writing sing on the page. That's an implied metaphor, BTW.

Thanks for listening to The Write Focus. Our focus is productivity, process, craft, and tools. The New Year starts with the challenge to be a writer. We ended 2021 with a manuscript, written during the fall writing challenge. Now we turn that manuscript into a document we can publish.

That’s our focus here: writing and the knowledge to solve any writing-related issues. We’re for newbies who want to become writing pros and veterans who are returning to writing after years away.
