I love the richness of metaphor, iam a fanatic, your explanation is very rich and authentic. I would add and say if you want to be a good swimmer you should enjoy playing in the river both for the betterment of your swimming and for the love the water, meaning even the cliches you must play around with them in your everyday speech but not use them in your actual writing, it locks you in to the metaphoric zone by default and creating your own becomes easier.

Excellent. Makes clear the reason I haven't been "getting" certain types of humor. Thanks for the insights.

Marin Sardi is an excellent speaker/teacher! I am grateful for this vivid and enticing lecture that finally cleared up my misconception of how to create and make use of metaphors.

Loved this. Would have loved some forced metaphor examples at that point in the lecture.

This was a deeply insightful and penetrating lecture on the subject. I do, however, have a problem with one specific piece of advice: "Don't look to others". This is bad advice. Great artists steal. Steal from everyone and everything and play with the raw materials to create new combinations. Be like a child in the playground, imitate but also initiate original things by yourself. There is NO Originality without Inspiration.
