I find Gaby Dunn’s story fascinating. A journalism graduate trying to find a job in the middle of the worst recession since the 1930s. Nobody is hiring, so she decides to do what she knows best: find 100 stories she would love to write but she would not be able to place. She wants to write them all in the course of 12 months.
The idea may seem basic, but some of the stories (A horror makeup artist. A hardcore skateboarder. A one-hit wonder. A rocket scientist. A teen mom. Someone who was left at the altar) are deeply moving, even fascinating. Eleven months into her project, she’s almost finished.
Would you have done anything differently?
