Barbara, I picked up your first novel the other day.
Ah, yes. "So Dark the Waves On Biscayne Bay", I've grown so much as a writer since then.
Well, I should hope so.
Blanche!
It's alright. Did you have a problem with my book, dear?
Yes, as a matter of fact I did, all those waves! Big waves, little waves, dark waves, rollin' in! Page after page! I had to take a Dramamine to get through chapter three!
Blanche, the waves are a metaphor. You see, a metaphor...
I know what a metaphor is, dear. I'm not a dummy.
Blanche, what's a metaphor?
It's when you use a phrase to mean somethin' else. Like when I say "Men are blinded by my beauty." They are not really blinded. They get their sight back in a day or two!
