To be honest, I actually like indie culture, but if you don`t, don`t just burst and tell her not to do it anymore, just lightly and nicely tell her that indie`s not exactly your thing, and that she can still do it, but not so often and not in public. Problem should be solved!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
