Idea #1: Friend
- From the country, so everything is about Wranglers and cowboy boots and country music
- Whenever I go home with her, I get an accent (but I don't want to make the story about me of course)
- Her dad built her house; she went to a high school where people would go sit in parking lots after school for fun
- Her family loves their cat Cleo (even her 6'9" dad fusses over Cleo like a baby)
- The decibels at family dinner conversations rival most rock concerts
- I have endless stories from my time with her, but I've already done a project this year involving her
Idea #2: Boss
- Swim lesson coordinator at the pool
- Single mom with 3 kids
- Energy levels through the roof
- Four major food groups: diet Pepsi (Coke?), pretzels, Bagel Market bagels, and Altoids
- Controversial ways of implementing ideas: she's not all or nothing, she's all or all
- Sample snapshot: you walk out onto the pool deck and see a woman in a swimsuit, yoga pants, and goggles, lying face down on the pool deck showing the breaststroke to half a dozen fish-in-training shivering in the Vermont water
- She's like the ball in a pinball game: rarely slows down and you never know where she's about to bounce off to
Which do you think would work the best from a storytelling perspective? Based on these bullet points, which profile would you be more interested in reading?
I had a long comment written, but then it was deleted when I tried to post.
ReplyDeleteA summary of what I said is this:
-I think choices have potential
-I think the first choice has more read-to-go story elements
-I personally prefer the first choice because it seems more UNIQUE
-I think your primary decision lies in whether you can write about something that you've already done a project on this semester. Whichever one motivates you to write most would be a good choice
-Good luck! :)
either one would be interesting, the second might be more funny... but they would both work :)
