Keeping the Flame Alive: Do fairytale romances always have happy endings?
How could you give it a local angle?
I would definitely relate this story to Valentine’s Day and people who just don't want to be alone on that day. It would also be relatable to divorce which has become so ordinary in this day and age. Can love be mistaken for infatuation? If so, can a relationship survive on infatuation alone?
Who could you interview locally for this story?
Interviewing people of all age groups would give me the widest angle on the story. It would give readers a range of similarities and differences between couples in various stages of relationships. Surveys could be given out at local colleges as well as in the workplace. Even taking a random sample of people on the street would give more variety within a local city.

Tying it to Valentine's Day is a good idea. But when I say local, I mean local. So can you come up with a San Jose or SJSU angle for this story?
ReplyDeleteA variety of age groups could work well for this topic, but I'd avoid surveys. Too much work, and the results are meaningless unless you take a scientific approach and know stats. Just interviewing people in a variety of age ranges and ethnicities would work.
