... Side note, you know what's fun, getting-started-writing-wise?
when both of your hypothetical POV characters are chronically dishonest, and the one whose thought patterns you can sort of predict more often is also the one you're straightforwardly terrified of writing.
That's fun.
(Iiiiii think my approach to the Real Historical Person side of things is looking like: confirm dates/locations/major events against a biography where strictly necessary, and then I can go from the film or lift details from anything she wrote herself.
I don't know why this seems more respectful, but... maybe I just feel obscurely that it's the more likely way I'll ever approach the level of chemically pure air-cooled Marquise-de-Merteuil-grade vitriol that comes through in the Miss Vermont bit from Raising Demons once you KNOW about Stanley. Whoo-ee.)
