This year, I plan to master the subplot. It's not something I've ever been able to integrate into my stories, which is ironic considering I write for TV fandoms which are usually predicated on the idea that there is an A and B plot*. I like the idea of it being how you've described - the visual image definitely works for me.
DEATH TO THE PIÑATA should be the name of a writing book. Definitely.
*Unless it's Criminal Minds, in which case what you think is the A plot is probably the B and oh look, you missed the C plot while you were faffing around with that. That'll come back to bite you...
