Notes

At its heart, this is a classic father-and-son story.

9-29-2015: Pour all this recent emotion (battered ego, torn-down self-worth, feeling like a loser) into this story of this wonderful young man who thinks he's anything but wonderful.

9-18-2016: Use this situation with John, his dysfunctional reaction of anger and being pissed off at me because I praised his poetry and told him how and why I felt he possessed a real gift, as illustration of how I see Peter in this story.

Work with theme of Peter's lack of self-confidence & self-image (explains drinking as well as his allowing Brenda to use him).

this story is a great candidate for my idea of taking all that testing and diagnostic material about John and applying him and it to a character, namely Peter
→ What is fueling the backstory that brings Peter to the point he's in the clutches of Brenda? The lack of self-worth? His poor self-image and self-esteem? His emotional downward spiral despite everything he (seemingly) has going for him?
