this sounds fun :) Well first of all do you know how metaphors work? Unlike similes they don't compare things using "like" or "as" and they're more of an absolute statement when trying to compare things I suppose.  In regard to creativity the crazier the better, if its two things that don't make sense yet you can somehow find a way to connect them then you have a very good metaphor :) I'll try and find some examples but what metaphors have you thought of?
