• develop annika as a person- try an intro q&a or some other brainstorming tool to get to know her
  • backstory- kels!!!
  • MAGGIE AND SID- if i'm gonna mention them, develop that as a storyline. (nik is rooting for them to work out but on some level wants them not to so her cynical theories on love can be compounded once again)
  • make a map of campgrounds
  • seriously have to stop thinking of who the characters look like-- they look like themselves and they don't fucking need a celebrity doppelganger
  • nik's gran- deterioration, dementia/alzheimers, impermanence of life and memory as a theme
  • write the midsummer's eve scene
  • get my flashbacks to make more sense chronologically!!1
  • divorce's effects on nik- lack of trust, introversion, doesn't reach out beyond superficial level for fear of repeating mistakes
  • ccr's role in nik's life- first as a reprieve/shelter then as a home and lastly as a jumping-off point
  • some kind of backstories for major supporting chars: maggie; sid; lauren; joe; josh; alex (???)
  • nik's family?!!
