I can really see why so many people choose to make their main characters orphans just to get the parents out of the way of adventuring things XD It makes sense from a plot perspective, even though it isn’t any fun for the character.
I agree. However, though I write mostly adult characters (19-20+ in age), who are out of the house or no longer have parents, I also have several characters (19+ in age) who still live and work with their family, and I’m going to make a point to keep several of those parents in the book. I really like the family dynamic of a son or daughter working with their parents, especially in a medieval/fantasy setting.
This frequently happens while gardening. That cat will lay down on top of the plants you’re trying to plant, and then get extremely insulted when you’re less than thrilled. After all, their presence is why you’re there in the first place. I love how all cats seem to think they’re the center of existence itself.
It’s glorious how cats are exactly the same everywhere in the world. xD
