I was just sitting there, as I do and I started pondering the complexities of writing. Admit it, you all like to put in at least something that's a bit secretive, something you want to tease the reader into finding out later; or something that really is something else.
I like being subtle and secretive, but then again I like being evil in my writing too, however sometimes I think that as an author, we see things that a blatant to us which are near impossible for readers to get unless pointed out.
For example, not long ago I wrote a poem about taking a shower, a simple mundane thing, shrouded in imagery and metaphors, yet no-one I showed seemed to get it.
Same thing goes for stories.
I am really curious on things that make writing subtle for you and what is too subtle and what is not subtle enough. Are our readers really as smart as we hope they are?
