I guess subplots must be the sort of thing I incorporate subconsciously or something, but stopping to think about it (as you have caused me to do), I can't for the life of me recall how I do it. O.O<br /><br />Ah, no, wait, I think I know: It's whenever I ask myself, "Meanwhile, what's happening over here?" I don't think of them as subplots, but I guess that's what they are -- the bits happening on the side that I have to juggle and weave into the main whatsit of the story. (Yes. "Whatsit". The wordsmith hasn't breakfasted yet.)<br /><br />Any event, all that to say, yes, you bring up good reminders. Subplots are good. ...so long as they don't veer so far afield that the reader never understands what they have to do with anything. YA books don't tend to do that as much as books for adults, I think, which is why I'll often prefer YA: It sticks to the point better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
