Inspired by the conversation started by Documentally which spread across the Internet over the past few days on being creative (which spanned Phreadz, Seesmic , Qik and Skitch) I thought I’d follow in the footsteps of the Dragon and have a crack at the Waterstones ‘What’s Your Story’ competition before it closed yesterday evening.

The result, ‘The Gap’, came out of musings I had whilst wandering along the seafront yesterday lunchtime, thinking further on my response on the Skitch page:

Clicky to embiggen…

I was quite pleased with it in the end, though it was a little rushed – started it about half nine and had uploaded by half ten in time for the baby’s evening feed.

The only bit, and I’m putting my theologians hat on here for a minute, that I’m not happy with, is ‘self-sustaining’.  I was actually thinking of something else, and really, whilst it sounds OK, if I’m to stick to what I wrote on Dietrich Bonhoeffer for my final degree dissertation, then creation isn’t self-sustaining, but sustained by God speaking, which, at the time completely blew me away and has some very interesting ramifications for the whole debate on creativity and creating…

And, strangely enough, the Dragon’s Den vibe rather forebode Loic’s big announcement today…
