Exactly! It’s very hard to get through a story that has little to no subtext.

Thanks!

Hi, Becca! I agree. I’m convinced it’s one of the most important skills for a writer to master.

Readers will not connect as deeply as they could have.

Subtext is very underutilized, imho. It’s one of those things that adds tremendously to a story, and its absence leaves one of those nagging holes, where you know something’s missing even if you can’t identify it.
