On assignment six...
I was perhaps trying too hard to completely isolate the four styles, which was challenging. Then I made it even harder by alternating tenses, just because I'm a bit masochistic. I really did learn a lot from this one though.
I see that all the portrayals of Ron were very centered on the band, but I was looking ahead somewhat. Ron needs to be very compartmentalized, to an extent that when he is set in his various environments the reader is almost left with 'is this the same person?'.
Hopefully in assignment seven I will be able to show him passing across one of his disconnects. I'm working out his wife as the second character so I can contrast the 'Rockin Ron whose life is the band' with the 'family Ron whose band is the job that supports his wife and kids'.
