A Cheesy Writing Metaphor

I think writing is like eating posicles that have jokes on the stick. The riddles are visible right from the start, but you need to struggle through eating the entire popsicle before you can uncover the answer. Sometimes the journey to the center of a posicle can be enjoyable, but other times it's a painful struggle. If it's really hot outside, eating popsicles can be a very frustrating. You might end up covered in sticky, melted posicle before you finally get to the answer on the posicle stick.

The process of writing is similar to eating a popsicle. You're given a topic to write about, like you're given a riddle on a popsicle stick, and then you have to figure out how to effectively get your point across. That's like working to find the answer to the joke on the popsicle stick. Certain writing assignments can seem really easy to write, and others make you want to cry, like when you try to eat a popsicle on a really hot day.
