Tip #6: Creepy

I thought that the Banaszynski and Tizon interview together was both valuable and helpful for me. It was interesting to hear them discuss how their story took its own shape, from the very beginning. Their interaction and insight showed how well the two work together. I liked most of the tips in DeGregory's section, but found certain ones to be a bit much. Specifically, tip #6-Ignore important people, seemed pretty creepy to me. I would like to read the final piece she came up with on Strawberry's wife, to see if her paparazzi-like strategy came across well in writing. I'm wondering if the class thinks that following someone around without talking to them can lead to a real story, or if it's questionable.
