While looking at Mississippi's economic performance the last ten years or so, I learned something rather important: Compared to Michigan, Mississippi ain't doing too bad. It's easy to pick on a rural southern state because of certain stereotypes, but to call out a state that's home to what was once the Big Three could make for an even better story. I'm going to take a closer look at the numbers and think about how location will impact plot lines.
In the meantime, I finished the intro chapter's third draft and am going to start it's fourth. I'm content with the dialogue, but the secondary action could be smoother and richer. The characters are also coming into focus, but could be more refined. I'd also like to adopt certain writing styles when discussing the African characters as opposed to American ones. The two groups have distinctly different styles and those can be reflected in how they are described as well as when they speak.
