The other day, as I was contemplating adding more parts to this series, I saw a book on the shelves of our local bookstore called Stories From the Tenants Downstairs by Sidik Fofana. I was stunned because it was such an amazing novel. The characters felt alive, everything felt real. From the well-captured vernacular English to the amazing descriptions of characters' gestures, pain, happiness, growth... An amazing book.

Coincidentally, this series was supposed to be like that, too -- excluding the community aspect while focusing on individual households. Slowly, it seems like the characters are just disconnected. I'll wait for some inspiration before continuing the series, perhaps inspiration I will receive after finishing Fofana's novel.

UPDATE April 17:
Still haven't finished the novel - I kinda got lost in some character relationships.
