I can see how that feedba..."Too sincere." I can see how that feedback would be tough to get a handle on. Definitely give this a try and see what it does for the character's sincerity.

I have always understood subtext in theory, but have had difficulty putting it into practice in my own work.<br /><br />I got a manuscript back from an editor at a pub house who said she liked it but the main character was too "sincere." I didn't understand what that meant, but now I do, thanks to this post.<br /><br /><br />I'll be checking out your book, too!<br /><br />KerryKerry Ganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885773176914239663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679654279463408644.post-29726795308618792932011-07-19T14:43:33.741-07:002011-07-19T14:43:33.741-07:00oops!

I sure worked hard to make sure it has useful info and techniques for writers of all levels. It was such fun to write and I hope that carries through, too.
