Here’s the question &ndash is it better to have a secondary plot or sub-plots? Here’s another question, which as a reader, and so as a writer do you prefer?
I believe you have to have both.
Subplot = A adjunct plot in fiction or drama. In our damage (A relating plot) Basically a hidden plot that any readers miss and writers don’t know they have written, which helps bring the romance to the aboveground. Also known as convolute and turns finished out the romance.
A secondary plot is 2nd account happening in the process of the romance. Much as a Mystery Romance, solving the murders.
As a reader I prefer and expect both. As a writer I love the secondary plot and fear the subplot. Not only do you have to anxiety about coming up with distance for the romance to move foreword and the secondary plot to come to an end but you have to add this hidden fib of the romance. Man what a pain in the ole writers carpus.
What makes a good secondary plot? And what makes a good sub-plot?
Can you give an example? And tell us how you would consume those tools to your benefit?
A good Secondary plot has to be alcoholic enough to hold capable the tension of the romance plot, without action away from it. Basically in my book La Roe’s Finding the murderer and bringing him to justice is the secondary plot.
The subplot was Max commandment Emerald how to love and belief again. This had to happen for Emerald and the real hero Stephan to end up unitedly.
By weaving a good subplot and secondary plot you end up with a gripping romance even if it’s a comedy since all parts play off the main plot, ROMANCE.
