Now THAT’S good writing!
Subtext can be a difficult thing to discuss.
When it’s used properly, you’re not even aware of it.
When it’s used poorly, it ruins the surface layer of the story.
Let’s try to break it down:
There are many different layers to a good story.
First, there is the surface layer. This is the main part of the story that everyone understands and follows. Even those who aren’t giving the story their full attention should be able to pick it up.
Then, there are multiple levels of subtext... these are like the subway tunnels underneath a dense, crowded city.
These tunnels have different directions that take you on different routes... even though the ultimate destination may be the same.
This is the real meat of the story, the stuff that makes you keep thinking about it long after you’re done reading it.
It’s also the stuff that makes people think: “Now THAT’S good writing!”
College professors will tell you that the best way to learn about good subtext is to spend years reading and studying it before you ever attempt it for yourself.
I agree with parts of that.
We’ve already spent years reading, studying and collecting the best information on how to develop subtext and put it all together in an incredible package:

P.S. Good subtext is like good oxygen... you don’t even know you’re taking it in. You only notice it when it’s going bad. Being trapped in a story with bad subtext is like being stuck in a caved-in mineshaft with limited air. If you want to learn how to keep your subtext fresh and unobtrusive, then you’re going to want to click the image at the top of the page now.
