Woo-hoo!

Lol, woo-hoo is RIGHT! (Ignore this, I'm hyper)

The real topic of this post should be metaphors that I have chosen to use throughout my novel. I think that they help give it a more personal touch...maybe a bit more depth and meaning. I always loved the way some authors were able to connect them throughout the entire book, and in the end, it would all make sense. Maybe I'm not as experienced as they are, but I will definitely have a go at those little buggers ^_^

So far, I've decided to use the following:

-Broken porcelain doll
After returning from the hospital, Vivian accidentally pushes her porcelain doll and it falls and shatters.
-Meaning: The end of life as she knew it/ the end of her childhood
-New meaning when it 'comes back': Her fear of Abel breaking her heart

-Wildflowers
The field in her dreams is a field of beautiful wildflowers.
-Meaning: Simplicity
-New meaning when it 'comes back': The need to make her life seem more simple

-The Bridge
When Abel takes her to his home (the location of the vampire coven), they cross a wooden bridge.
-Meaning: The 'threshold' of a new chapter in her life
