I am in the process of writing a book and need some help. I would like some feedback as to whether my story is feasible or not, if this were to actually take place in real life. Please share your thoughts, opinions and if you disagree with any part of my story, please tell me why it won??t work. If you have anything to add, please feel free. The story goes something like this. This is a human-interest story but details are very important.

For the sake of simplicity I will speak of myself as if I were the wife. (I am female ?? nothing else is similar to me or my life.)

Ok, there is a husband and wife and the wife is a recreational/unqualified medical smoker and the husband is not. I (the wife) will never be a non-smoker, unless of course, I vaporize. I am over 50 by some years, 2nd marriage with a total of 6 children. All over the age of 21. I am self employed as a reseller (that is not making any money to speak of right now due to the economy) and my husband is now working in a mediocre job, making far less than he did, after being left go from a company he was with for many years. We own a home, and it is increasingly difficult to keep up with our financial responsibilities as it is, and it will get worse as soon as this job ends for my husband, which is within 6 to 9 months, if we are lucky. Nothing on the horizon at this point as far as a job in his usual field. So we have decided to try to make a living in ??plant management?. Due to family dynamics, mother and dad still alive but not well, very small town, we are fairly well known to most LEO??s as our kids have not reached the ??upstanding citizen? phase of their life yet. Our home was raided once for plants growing in our yard, which came as a result of trusting someone we should not have. I got a paraphernalia charge out of it. Nothing since. One kid got possession of a small amount pleaded down from a felony charge of manufacture, delivery, etc. Everyone else was fine.

Okay, here is a hypothetical scenario and I am asking for lots of advice and info to be sure I have as many bases covered as possible. We want to save our house from a potential foreclosure, which we are NOT behind at all, but look to be in the next couple of months if we don??t do something soon. My hubby and I are in full agreement on most of this but we still are working out the details. If you think I am full of it, tell me I am, but please tell me why. I am learning as much as possible before I complete this book..

Honestly I just stopped there. I am a douche bag so I apologize waaay up front if you take any offense to what I am going to say. It's not meant to be offensive at all, it is just my honest opinion. It's just that you asked for that basically so please read this with a smile and realize I don't know you and you don't know me, and let's just keep it between us ok.

1.
I think you are full of shit, option C, I am not saying this in a mean or insulting way. Just very matter of fact ok. You left that option out there as an option, it's just what I think.

None of the "hypothetical story" seems realistic in anyway and there is a large amount of naivety with regard to growing in my very humble and not at all experienced opinion. Maybe it's that easy and I am wrong. Don't get me wrong, I know anything is possible. But not fucking likely.
It just sounds like a lame episode of weeds on showtime, (by the way I fucking hate that show. Sorry I know this makes me a narc so just save it flamers!:jawdropper::jawdropper::jawdropper::jawdropper::j awdropper:
:S2:

(Remember I just think you are full of shit, that's the premise for me.)
You should just get a job, wait tables, do something. You aren't going to loose your house unless you want to so pull yourself together. It's likely that you could go 6 months behind before they even started foreclosing, and then you could likely have many many more months. Until a judge makes a judgment and slams that gavel, you could at any point halt the proceedings possibly IF it even gets to that point.
So pull yourself together and go serve some tables or whatever it'll save your life.
You will be amazed, if you are willing to work hard, not lazy, and accountable, you can succeed in anything, no matter how "menial" it may be. If it affords you the ability to stay in your home then great huh?
If this is really a "story" that you came up with then just disregard everything I say, I am sorry I just don't believe that. If you are telling the truth then sorry I am just a douche. If you have been lurking and reading you probably already know this.:stoned:
I will reserve my opinion of the story. But I will tell you this, it's not a good opinion, it would be a negative one. Sorry really not relevant, I am sure some folks will enjoy just not me.
But I don't really believe you are "writing a story". To me it doesn't seem very likely, or interesting at all. Some of it seems ignorant.
Guess I just gave my opinion sorry, see that's why I didn't want to because I suck and am an asshole. I can't help it I guess it's just because I eat too many of those Welch's Fruit Snacks, I think they are making me crazy!
Good luck with the story.:wtf:
Get a job.:thumbsup::jointsmile::thumbsup:

And, this shouldn't be in the "legal" section, maybe it could get tugged over to a more appropriate section like the lounge? I dunno? Welcome to the community. I am sure you will get alot of ideas here LittleNut.:thumbsup:
