I have officially validated my novel.  It is, to be nice, crap.  But it is my crap.  Granted it will not see the light of day.  That is not what this exercise was about.  I've needed to get back to my writing.  At some point while struggling with this group of characters in search of a plot (thank you for that line Dave Berry) I found myself missing and thinking about what I've dubbed the 'novel that won't go away.' and plan on returning to it  
 

While I work on getting that one printed out (the one to edit, not the one I just finished) and organized I am going to be taking an online writing class on historical research for the next 15 days.

Good for you, @clueliss!  I was going 'to be a writer' until I allowed life to get in the way. Keep it up. I admire you for pursuing your writing. I hope to read your novel one day!!

You're amazing!  I admire this so much and I bet it's great.  If you ever got published I'd run out to grab a copy immediately.

      I hate open concept houses almost as much as I hate Abbie's cluttery "style." I hate that open concept became a trend and I feel like I've been screaming at clouds since like 2008 when it first started being "the trendy way." It seemed like at the time everyone wanted it so that they could see the TV from everywhere. But it's so impractical. Noise just bounces around. Ever go to a party at a house with just the big cavern with a kitchen in the corner? It get so noisy that people are shouting at each other. Vs a normal house, where people can go into other spaces to socialize in smaller groups - you can have some people in the kitchen, some in the living room, some in the family room. And it's just so frustrating when you need to find a way to close the kitchen to keep dogs and kids out. 

      I also think braggie's fridge is dumb. It comes with a pitcher for water. Great. I can buy a $35 pitcher with a filter and fill it in the sink and get the same result.

      Their level of agressive entitlement is unreal. Too bad their fellow anti-work comrades aren't helping them out.

      But where do they wash their hands after taking money and before handing over open, unwrapped food? How does the department of health track down who donated the Salmonella pie, if they aren't required to keep a list of who donated what product? How do the volunteers keep the open and unwrapped food from being contaminated by nonfood materials if it's just sitting on a table in a gym or in a parking lot. 

      Any I have been to in Germany and New Zealand had one person handling the cash and other people serving. Plus power and hand washing facilities. Usually with a few tables and chairs right next to the sale area to sit and eat immediately. 
      Plus all the ones in Germany I saw had display cabinets for the products like in cafes. I think the ones in NZ usually had insect shields and/or see through lids and weren’t right at the front edge of the table.

      They have a “champagne lifestyle” on OTHER peoples “beer budget” 


      “Champagne wants” is probably a better word than lifestyle, though the fact that they demand it and insist on being entitled to it makes it more than a want in my eyes. 🤷‍♀️
