But I still want to know how she feels about losing her roommate/oldest friend in less than a week. And we're back again to idle speculation re: who will move in to his old room, especially since Faye isn't going anywhere and Marten isn't in the same need-a-new-roommate boat.

Do we know if Dale has a roommate? Maybe he and Marigold are both so socially unaware that they think it would be OK to move in together at this point. It might be an interesting story arc to have Marigold and Dale decide to move in together and have Dale mention it at CoD. The Gang could then spend a long time trying to convince Dale and Marigold that it's a bad idea.

May is Dale's roomate.

--- Quote from: Storel on 29 Oct 2014, 00:05 ---The usual advice to beginning artists is to draw, draw, draw, because they've got 10,000 bad pictures inside them and they have to get them out before they start getting good. I think the same principle applies with beginning writers, because really, you can't get good at something if you don't practice doing it! Writing bad stories, comparing them to good stories and seeing why they're bad, learning how to make them better, is just something you gotta do. Most authors get dozens of rejection letters before publishing a single story, or write dozens of stories they don't even bother sending to editors before sending one they think is good.
I ran across an interesting quote recently in the Wikipedia article on Louis L'Amour, a writer of Western novels who was very popular from the Sixties through the Eighties:
--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---When interviewed not long before his death, he was asked which among his books he liked best. His reply:
--- Quote from: Louis L'Amour ---I like them all. There's bits and pieces of books that I think are good. I never rework a book. I'd rather use what I've learned on the next one, and make it a little bit better. The worst of it is that I'm no longer a kid and I'm just now getting to be a good writer. Just now.

This from a man who published "89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction" and was considered "one of the world's most popular writers"! Geez, Louis, not long before your death is a helluva time to finally start getting good. Maybe work on your timing in your next life? :lol:
