Dessa

something i have been thinking about for some time now but only recently given real consideration. i was debating whether or not to write dessa as episodic. you know take certain points both high and low and write only about them, not try to string them together as one long story, which if i did i would only be able to write a small part of her story. you see the thing begins when she is 19/20 and ends either at 43 or 47. it takes place over a long period of time and trying to link the whole thing smoothly would be both a pain and prevent it from flowing correctly.

and i really have no interest in stringing this one out. so i think i'll go episodic.

i have already thought of a few of the episodes. my favorite so far is one where she is interviewed at the end. she has turned herself in (allowed herself to be caught) and gives permission for an interview. she gets pissed at all the experienced reporters because their questions are what she feels are formulaic and informed but not insightful.

so she picks a young woman a... let's see, something that's equivalent to a college student who has little experience, somehow dessa caught a small time newspaper type thing with one of her articles in it and liked it.

i am working on the interview now. i'll bring it to ya as soon as i can.
