I believe the profile will be one of the few non-fiction pieces that I enjoy writing about. It’s personal in a way that escapes some non-fiction pieces. The goal is to understand the person being profiled. It’s not a list of achievements, or a narrative of some specific event. It tries to go deeper into how the person feels about the event. Or what motivated him or her to go above and beyond to create such an impressive resume. The character becomes someone that the audience can relate to and try to understand. That is what interests me when I read or write. Details and facts are nothing if the piece is cold the author has remained completely detached from the subject.
