The concepts in my essay No Art in Writing were implemented in a new story for a competition. This essay charts the evolution of those ideas against the competition constraints, the practicalities, and notes the significant creative decisions. It explores the creator’s dissatisfaction, reveals a startling outcome, and postulates the development for the piece and the concepts.
Objective
What better way to put the concepts from my essay No Art in Writing[1] – blending narrative text with associative images – than by incorporating them into a story for a competition? There would be the benefit of an objective critic and the impetus for me of a deadline all of six weeks ahead.
