Thinky thoughts...
Aug. 23rd, 2012 06:24 pmHow often do you write about a major point that is important to one character but not to others?
On my first run through, I tend to hammer home the point. Then, I go back and make it a lot more subtle. However, I do know it's there. Some poor people have to read it.
Anyway.
It's something that I've been noticing. People complain about it. I do it all the time. And no, I don't like being hit over the head with something. But, how do you make it more subtle? Well, editing is one way.
And the best way, really.
So, how often do you do it? Even on a second run through, I've got to prod and poke and really work through it.
Nooooow, how often do you say these things?
