Day 9: 30 Day Story Challenge. A Portrait of the Author as a Young Woman

According to Susan Sontag, the writer must be four people: 

1. The nut, the obsédé - supplies the material 

2. The moron - lets it come out

3. The stylist - is taste  

4. The critic - is intelligence 

A great writer has all 4 – but you can still be a good writer with only 1 and 2; they’re most important.

Caricature

A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way.  

In literature, a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others.

Claire Fletcher

The work for the remaining story challenge will focus on introducing and caricaturing the story characters and creation of the storyboard, and then finally putting finished images and text together.
