Answer 2

Conceptual writing is an approach to writing that emphasizes the underlying concept or idea behind the words rather than conventional narrative or poetic techniques. It often involves using language in a more experimental or non-traditional way to challenge traditional notions of literature and artistic expression. Conceptual writers may focus on themes such as language, representation, and the creative process itself.
