Idioms exist in every language. They’re words or phrases that aren’t meant to be taken literally. For example, if you say, “He decided to bite the bullet and call his sister,” it doesn’t mean he actually bit into a bullet and called his sister. It means that, after some reflection, he decided to do something he didn’t want to do.

Have you ever considered how idioms can make your writing more interesting? When used properly, an idiom can highlight a specific portion of a scene. In the example above, it might be important to the plot that the brother didn’t want to speak to his sister. Let’s take a look at how idioms can be used in creative writing.
