I think it's a good point! Food for thought. I do agree that atmosphere certainly can't be everything... I need to figure out how to view this project in a way that clicks with me. That's the really hard balancing act!I think that's a creative, insightful take on it. But flip it for a second and consider. Evocation of atmosphere seems like a very sensible thing to develop in one's writing. (In my own writing, I can find the voice of the piece pretty easily, but I really wish I was stronger in the atmosphere department.) But if it's fiction, there's also plot, character and literary style/voice to consider. Not to mention the message of the piece! (What does your piece actually say about human nature and what gives it meaning?) On the one hand , it's a balancing act, right? So, doesn't that require tension between all the elements involved? And can that tension that comes from the balancing act actually harm the project if you focus on developing atmosphere? Because that's what dragon blood and stripping/flaying suggest. Whatcha think?
