Brian Stansell started the topic Examples of How You Use Subtext in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 4 years, 9 months ago
I love the idea of things hidden below the surface.Ā Of mysterious buried treasures, and ways to implant certain words or innuendos that have either a dual meaning or are indicative of an even larger mystery lurking beneath the surface action of the story.
I was interested in how each of you uses the concept of subtext in your personal writing,…[Read more]

Aw thanks š I appreciate that! If it was like a week past the end of Feb, I’d be fine with that, btw. Totally fine if that doesn’t work for you though. And I completely understand the business of moving house; my family has moved house at least five different times 😅.
I’ve already got several people who are going to beta…[Read more]

I did wonder whether their tardiness had to be better explained, and your insight confirms it. The idea was that only Wren is truly aware of the danger, thanks to her nursemaid, but being a little girl and wanting to please her friend, she is easily guiled into staying out longer. I will revise the story to convey that…[Read more]

@kristianne-hassman Great suggestions, thank you! I actually hadn’t thought about her living with the Dr… So now I’m thinking I will have him adopt her. Makes sense, and her adoptive father never had much a of a strong character in my mind anyway, lol.

I feel the exact same way about the first draft! As much as I enjoy writing, it’s not easy that’s for sure XD
It sounds like you’ve been doing well for having that much written already! I started my fantasy last March (maybe?) and I’ve only got a few chapters left, but I didn’t plot a single thing out. I saw a pic of a…[Read more]

I will be happy to finish this fantasy. I have a ton of story ideas I want to do, but I can’t start them until I finish this one or else it will never get finished XD. Yes, it is my first draft. Hopefully editing won’t be that bad for me either. I’ve heard that everyone hates editing so I assume I will too but who…[Read more]

I only have a few chapters left to write, then it’s the dreaded editing process… What’s your story about? š
I’m only on the second book of the Wingfeather Saga, but I am relly enjoying it. My absolute favorite Patricia St. John book is Star of Light!!

Thank you for the compliment!😁
My fantasy story has a very long and interesting plot line XD. It’s about a princess who has a poisoned necklace, and if it gets taken off she could die. After some unfortunate incidents, the necklace gets stolen and the princess’s friends have to go on an adventure to find it before she…[Read more]

@kristianne-hassman, that’s no problem. Feel free to share as much or as little about it as you want. The idea is to give people an opportunity to talk about their writing with a slightly wider audience than they may have had up to this point, and maybe spark some interest in their ideas and stories, so that when they do eventually finish…and…[Read more]
