Amalgamation & Capital

Friends,

I'm working on this essay. Figured it's high time I cash in on the stories I like to tell and some that maybe I don't, but will.

Anyway, I've got a draft of the Cole story. And, yeah, it's got a bucket full of problems, all solvable, and I just gotta do it.

Here's the issue...for simplicity's sake to tell the story, I need a composite character. It's mostly background, so folding together two people into one isn't breaking new essay/memoir ground, but still. I feel kind of funny about it.

What about you? How do you feel about composites characters? And for those who have used them...do you feel guilty?

I know it. I heard that he grew one, but didn't see a good picture of it. I was waiting to see it on the Post Dispatch website.

Thanks for the link Tom.

And have you seen Youklis' mustache? Quite the molestache.
