To what extent do you use subplots? Do you think they add or detract from the main story line?
Sage Nestler
I love using subplots. However, when I do use subplots I make sure that they are all properly outlined before I begin writing the novel. I think that subplots add zest to a novel and will make sure there aren't any dull moments in a novel. However, I try to stick to three plots, including subplots, tops. Otherwise I think that they will begin to confuse the reader. If you are going to use subplots, make sure that you have them all planned out and ready to go beforehand; and most of all, don't forget to solve each plot. Never leave one hanging. This will only make your story amateur.
