So here is a developing idea.
Today the FBI is searching for Jimmy Hoffa’s Body in a field
outside Detroit. And then there is the group who wants to raise several million
dollars to see if they have really located Amelia Earhart’s plane below the
reef off Nikumaroro Island. Are these mysteries really so
powerful that we will spend millions of dollars of public money, in the case of
Jimmy Hoffa and millions of private dollars in the case of Amelia’s plane. You
did contribute to the Hoffa search, would you contribute to the search for
Amelia’s plane?
I’m imagining a character obsessed with Amelia’s flight. He
starts when assigned to do a report on milestones in flight. One friend does
the Wright Brothers another does Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, but when
the report is over the friends move on with their lives but not our character.
Maybe the Arc of the story could run from June 1 to July 2,
the time frame of Earhart’s final flight. So then is this a main character or
is it a quirky side character? Maybe he starts to wear his hair like Amelia
and to dress like her. She was often photographed in trousers and her hair was
on the short side. Maybe on July 2 he is nowhere to be found and his friends
believe he has disappeared.
Love to hear if anyone has any twists they think might be
added to the story or character.
As for me I’ll think about this for a year or so and see
where it goes.
