My Story Actually Has five (5) protagonist!! One can't exist without the other since, without giving it away, they all (in themselves) tell the same identical story that climaxes into the one (1) true protagonist in the end. Got that? And to compound it all, it's a historical novel.
First thing I will do is to get very familiarity with African-American history- especially during the late 40s to early 60s (roughly). Research begins by reading novels (from Morrison to Ellison); constructing each character with precision, write a draft (revise, revise, revise). I also, very important, must study a handful of biographies, vital! Then straight to draft number two (revise, revise, revise).
Yes folks, a rocket, in the shape of a pen, is on the launching pad and ready for the countdown phase.
The five (5) protagonist names:
Regina Pearl
Odessa Abbott
Shirley Reed
Al King
Mr. Shaw
It's a story of Rosa Parks with some hints of Claudette Colvin in the mix (here-and-there). The development of each fictional person is next and will take time. I am somewhat of a perfectionist which would serve me well. One step at a time a guess. First thing is getting a good (as I can) feeling of the time - the tension and drama and so forth.
Wish me well my friends.
