The Metaphor Project: What Fun!!
This list is the fourth set of metaphors you’ve sent. I’ve gathered all I could find in every corner where they might have come together. I’ve visited most and hope to read the rest today. Each one I read makes the experience even better.
To think that Derrick’s Pizza Makers and Char’s Famer’s Market got this whole thing going is quite the statement of how the blogosphere works. A great idea takes hold and gets growing — each one inspiring another.
Check this new batch out and pass them along to your readers. The more ways we look at blogging the better we’ll be able to explain it when we need to.

Oh, I hope I found them all.
Because this project spread so quickly and not all links are making their way to me, if you’ve written a metaphor and you’re not on the list, please email me a link.
This weekend, when I’m sure that I have them all together with none missed, I’ll compile the entire lot into one list. (If you sneak one in late I’ll add you, you know that.) That’s when I’ll announce the winners of the ten copies of Blogging Tips That Bloggers Wonââ¬â¢t Tell You About Blogging by Lorelle VanFossen.
Thank you for all of the submissions to The “What’s Your Blogging Metaphor?” Group Writing Project.
In respect and gratitude to all who took part and all who blog, here’s my metaphor:
A Blogger’s Sunset

Yoohoo, I made the list this time 🙂
Thanks for including me and many thanks for your comment on my post!
When you compiled the final list will I read every entry and make my own top 5 or 10 depending on how they stack up.
It is always welcome when something challenges how you think and communicate about specific topics and concepts.
Maybe I should starting something like this, but focused on communication, which is my key concept.
Hi Jan!
It’s so fun that everyone came out to take part. I can’t wait to see them all in a list together. The depth and breadth is darn impressive. Metaphors of every flavor!
Thanks for running this project! I can’t wait to read all the entries.
Hi Laura!
The real credit goes to Derrick and Char. They wrote the first two metaphors that so caught me up that I found myself making a writing project in the middle of a post I was writing. 🙂
Wow! These just keep getting better.
I know! Isn’t that cool?!!!
Yes, except for the part where mine starts looking lame. LOL
Liz – thank you for making this into a full blown group writing project! I am absolutely impressed with all the creative metaphors.
Mike,
Creative does not equal lame. I love your metaphor. I want to take it to dinner and plan a caper. 🙂
Char,
Thanks for inspiring it. Thank your mom too. Her final question “Why isn’t every business blogging?” is what kept echoing in my ears. 🙂
None of these entries look lame. (in response to Mike’s worries) They represent who we are and that’s the best part of such a challenge.
Liz, keep these writing projects rolling! You are our inspiration.
Hi Mihaela!
I agree. I think Mike’s is quite clever. Thanks for your rousing support. This was fun. I’m delighted you enjoyed it. 🙂
