Pieces: They Click Together

Dear readers, we have forgotten how to build. In our quest for smoothness and quarter-plate increments and pieces snotted in every-which direction, we have misplaced the notion that pieces need to actually be attached to other pieces.

Pick up your latest creation. Shake it. Do pieces go flying? You aren't done building yet.

Flip it upside-down. Did the entire street just fall on the ground? You aren't done building yet.

Is your creation actually just you sorting out your black 1x1 plates? You have a pile, sir, not a MOC. You haven't even started to build.

Our dear Matty provides a counter-example with his previously blogged scrap metal train car. Every piece of scrap is attached; if the car was turned over nothing would fall out. This is building! Building involves clicking!
