A lot of authors have writing techniques which they use quite a lot because they like them! For example Charles Dickens used to like writing things as though they are a list.
My personal favourites include: pathetic fallacy, extended metaphors and juxtaposition.
So what about you guys? Let’s discusa our favourite writing techniques and why we like using them.

I like using similes and oxymorons because it makes me think more creatively.

I love symbolism, metaphors, foreshadowing, imagery, juxtaposition, indirect characterization and critical theory. Especially symbolism and foreshadowing.

Long sentences are a technique. You use it to control the breathing of the reader. Often short sentences are used to build suspense because your breaths would be shorter.
Yup repetition is also a writing technique
