#WordWeavers 22Sep- Do you purposely use symbolism in your story?
Oh yes! I have lots of symbolism in my stories, especially in Jack & Jaslan's (for reasons).
When done right (and not overly done), I think symbolism adds depth and intrigue to a story.
As authors, it's another tool we can use to connect to our readers, and it allows us to add our own flair. How things are interpreted is so personal, which often lends to a more immersive experience.
And isn't that the goal?
(It's my goal.)
