Labor 3: Headstrong Character
Diary of a Teenage Taxidermist
read 9/11/16
Fits: MC Ethan is very headstrong. He wants to work on his taxidermy/art project but his parents ground him and ban him from his workshop so he takes all of his stuff and moves in with his boyfriend in a fit of defiance.

Labor 8: Treasure Hunter
Victim of Love
read 9/11/16
Fits: Co-MC, Beck, is a treasure hunter. He is a former museum curator who now "procures rare items for unique buyers. In other words, he finds weird crazy shit for weird crazy people who want weird crazy shit."
Some items: He hunted for the shattered neck bone of Mary Queen of Scots, a mummified head and he was on assignment to track down a piece of the wreckage from John F. Kennedy Jr's plane.

Labor 12: Someone Showers
Signs
read 9/11/16
Fits: "Caleb stretched again lightly and went upstairs to shower and change before heading down to dinner." Loc. 295
And many more showers happen!

I added those three to our PLANNING sheet but not the main sheet because I dont know how you are handling the main one!

I highlighted them in the green but now I'm wondering if I should let you guys do that?
