Thanks for posting. this was really helpful.
I really enjoyed reading your essay and picked up some good tips I will use. Thank you for the post.
Another thing that makes me reluctant to join workshops. I don't care if X famous book has great subtext, I may not necessarily being trying to emulate X famous book. I want to know the problems of my story, not compare myself to a writing legend.
Simply saying I need to take a look at my subtext is good enough. It tells me what I need to know, and I can move on without worrying if I'm Stephen King.
This is a useful artcle though.^^
Your essay was truly enjoyable to read and I gained valuable tips that I plan to implement. Thank you for sharing the post.
