information but this time the useful information that you posted in this post compelled me
to reply here and appreciate your good work. I just bookmarked your blog

Trace – sorry to chime in so late!

Having met your hubby for the first time in DC, I don’t know him well. But I’m pretty darn sure he wasn’t talking about the fire or the thermostat. That boy was trying to subtext you right outta your clothes, if you ask me!

Here’s to a little holiday subsext, I mean…subtext…for all .

Laurel and Adrienne, thanks for stopping by.

I’ve been listening to a lot of workshops found on the Romance Writers of America CDs I purchased at conference. If you’re a member, I believe you can purchase CDs going back to 2006 or 2007 from RWA’s website http://www.rwanational.org.

They’re well worth the investment, IMHO.

Happy writing! Tracey

Hi Tracey and all,

Happy Whatever…

I think there are always/often, at least three layers of what we hear and know we are hearing- under what is stated. Then, as a yoga teacher and tarot card reader, I realize there are so many layers of sub -text – below texting (wry grin) that we rarely even begin to discern.

Tracey, shall I try to listen to this workshop that sparked your interest in subtext?

My sense is that the more we can subtly evoke subtext in our novels, the happier our reader’s will be, though i could be wrong. (text or sub text?)

Feliz Navidad….

Great post, Tracey! We have the reverse sub-text in my house. My husband likes it warmer so I’m usually the one cracking wise!
