This metaphor perfectly cuts to the real meaning of impactful writing.
It’s not just about conveying ideas, it’s about pulling readers into an emotional experience so strong that they’re compelled to follow.
The imagery of harpoons latching onto emotions speaks to the responsibility of a writer to deeply connect with their audience.
It reminds me that writing isn't about playing it safe but about provoking thought and stirring up real feeling.
