Richness of story.

This is what I'm aiming at: I want to develop a rich story but I want to achieve economy of style. Richness and economy. It's the Holy Grail for writers. Richness in content but economy of means. What do other people think? Here is a quick bit of research (Part One).

Richness of story

Item 1. A theory:
Media Richness Theory; see Wikipedia

• aka Information Richness Theory
• seems to be as much about style as content:

Media richness theory states that the more ambiguous and uncertain a task is, the richer the format of media that suits it.

Item 2. Useful article: 
Cultivating Story Richness. Terrence Gargiuloon on Scribd.
[Note: Website fraught with pop ups and adverts. Difficult to read.] 

It’s easy to deprive ourselves the deep richness of stories [by] striving for the Holy Grail of clarity.

• Story is a cloud chamber revealing the tracks of meaning in a fog of words.
• Story lends itself to less structured forms with non-linear threads
• In story, information is packaged in memorable nuggets
• It is meant to trigger personal responses
• It expects people to generate their own meaning

Item 3. Blog post: 
A path to writing: Reaching into the richness of the world. Let's Write This

[Rendering] the invisible ink of the world legible.

Enough for now. Economy of style next time.
