(Originally Posted Wednesday 6-26-19)<\/p>\n

For this one we have a young reporter who\u2019s gain some fame recently from covering a big event and was promoted quickly and given a bunch of perks right out the gate.<\/p>\n

So now the first question to ask, is she still hungry for more? Like does she need to find another big story to get her fix or is she content to coast by on her 15 minutes of fame? This would then help decide the tone of her story.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m leaning towards she\u2019s still hungry, wants the rush but not necessarily the fame she gets.<\/p>\n

Maybe her sudden fame caused her problems in her life that people didn\u2019t see. Maybe her boyfriend left her because of reasons, maybe the fame was the final straw.<\/p>\n

Also figure there\u2019s probably some guys at work who don\u2019t like her simply because she\u2019s another pretty blonde who gets the world handed to her because of her looks.<\/p>\n

When in reality she\u2019s super smart\/gifted and has had to constantly fight back against the blonde stereotype.<\/p>\n

So all this is going on in her life when what was so far a normal day turns into chaos when a major event happens and suddenly all the screens in their news room switch to whatever happened.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a couple different ideas this could go in, maybe a massive attack from an EMP, or a meteor strike, or a terrorist attack. Whatever it is, it\u2019s something she gets involved in. I\u2019m thinking it will be kinda local. She can drive to get there.<\/p>\n

I like the big event kind of thing as I see her being just one of the characters affected by this event and not the main POV character.<\/p>\n
