Writers like to use similes. Why?
I think it is because they helps to ground readers. If I'm talking about an distant world, how can I explain to the reader what I want them to see. By using something they are familiar with like flowers.
Also it can add to a character's description. She had a smile that lit up her face like a sunflower lights up the dry parched dessert. You just can't turn away, you just have to smile back.
So what comparisons do you make?
She watched the sweat dripping down his hard body and felt drenched in downpour of sexual need.
How would you describe the above pictures?
