Very glad it helped! Another good source for symbolism help is C.S. Lakin at Live Write Thrive. She really knows her Motif and weaves them into her fiction so well. (She's a writing coach/editor too so her blog is packed with articles on Symbolism & craft).

Thank you so much Victoria--sorry I am late commenting. The 21st was my birthday and I was whisked away by the hubs for a time and then the snowball of Christmas season hit. 🙂 Hope you had a terrific holiday!

Thank you for this most helpful post, Angela. I will be using your site for the third book in my romantic series. In my second book, I used the color blue for eyes and a hummingbird for motif with a little girl who was lost and then found (I'll admit that i didn't know it was a "motif"). She was a victim of neglect and abuse, seemingly small and fragile but really fierce and territorial. I'll admit that when writing a first draft, I tend to leave out the symbolism only to come back and add it later for that extra layer of depth.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. I'll be frequenting your site often in 2017 🙂

Yes, and I'm hoping to get some book money as well for goodies in the year ahead, lol.

This is a clear explanation on how symbols and motifs are used in writing. Thanks so much for sharing this with Writers in the Storm followers. I've shared it online. All the best to everyone here. Have a wonderful holiday!

So glad this was helpful, James. I know at first I struggled with understanding the difference between symbolism and motif. 😉

I need to get over to your site more. I do get the newsletter so I keep up that way but just get overloaded with blog emails sometimes and it's tough slogging through.
