Hello writers!

Have you ever noticed an object in a story that seems to mean more than it first appears? That’s symbolism.

In writing, symbolism is when an author uses an object, person, or event to represent a bigger idea. For example, a red rose might stand for love, or a storm could symbolize chaos. Symbolism helps writers add depth to their stories and invites readers to think beyond the surface.

In this week's article, we’ll explore what symbolism is, why it matters in storytelling, and how you can use it to enrich your narrative.

Take a look, and let me know what you think by replying to this message!
