After my conference with Professor Kopp, I received a better understanding of how this whole Twitterive thing is supposed to work. The "-ive" part of the word means narrative. This means that I need to make a narrative about my tweets. This got me rather excited. I know that pageants are viewed by American's in all sorts of ways, so I decided to kind of go off of that. I am creating an evil step mother in my twitterive. She will be a feminist who absolutely hates pageants. Another character will be my aunt. Everyone will say that they do not know why I am not her daughter because we are so much alike. I love the fact that everyone thinks that my aunt and I are alike. She is always dressed perfectly and looks like a model. In stories, everyone loves to hate the evil stepmothers. They are always mean and nasty and easy to dislike. In stories, the readers hardly ever root for the antagonist, so making my antagonist be the evil step mother just seems to work out perfectly.
My narrative will be about the time I had during the Miss America Parade and final night of the pageant. I will get into how excited my aunt and I were and how much of a buzz kill my stepmother was.

According to IGN, four out of the top ten evilest stepmothers are from Cinderella. This gave me the idea to base my stepmother's off of Cinderella's. They will have the same mannerisms and carry themselves the same way. There is an air about Cinderella's stepmother that you can just tell she is evil. Maybe it is by the way she walks or by the colors that she wears. I am going to keep all of this in mind as I develop my character more and more in my Twitterive so my audience really understands that she is evil.
My aunt is going to play the protagonist. She will be by my side, supporting me as I stand up to my stepmother when she goes off on how degrading pageants are. She will act more as a mother figure to me than my actual stepmother does. We share the same interest in the pageant so this is why we will be getting along so much better than my stepmother and I.
I am excited to get the ball rolling with my Twitterive. I have many ideas to share and many ideas on how to include different means of media to keep my audience interested. Each draft will be a new part of my story, almost like a new chapter.
