I knew from the get go that I was stepping out of my comfort zone by writing this profile. I've never written anything like a profile before, so I think I was intimidated by the task. I didn't know where to start, really. How do I capture Mele in action? Do I follow her around and take notes or just observe her in social situations? I knew had so much material from her from our interviews that I wanted to add to the profile, but wasn't sure how to fill in those gaps between quotes.
I wound up waiting until the last minute to finish this, and called it a day. So that's why I think the piece itself began to look like an interview write-up (like Marin said) rather than a profile.
