monologues or whatever style you end up writing in (or a combination of writings such as bits of dialogue in script form, monologues, poetry, first person narrative, maybe even little boxes with a sentence or two of "deep thoughts"--a little bit of this/a little bit of that; it doesn't have to be consistent. you could even add in some of your favorite photographs)
