Some of you commented on my post a few days ago about how I was feeling overwhelmed and that The Sims, the one thing I turned to for fun, had become anything but. Well, this is my solution to that problem. Let me say that I have not come to this decision lightly.
As most of you know, I am the mother of two boys. One seven year old with Special needs and a rambunctious 4 year old. I have the privilege of staying home with them and being their Mom, and so summer is my SUPER busy time. For this reason my "free time" is greatly limited and I would much rather spend it enjoying myself PLAYING the Sims, instead of worrying about writing and taking pictures to update my story.
My turn in the Desirable Discourse Round Robin will be finished. This will be the only story I will update, and try to finish, this summer.
If you haven't read it, I welcome you to. It is not necessary to read the first generation to understand what's going on. It's more of a stand alone story.
Until further notice my Creation to Future story is on Hiatus. By no means am I quitting this. I absolutely love this family and there's no way I would quit. However, I simply do not have the time or the desire to put the work into this.
Updates are time consuming and tedious and I don't want to put out something half assed...so it will have to wait until I have the motivation.
My WYDC is lost. I thought I had a back up to it, but I can't find it anywhere. I am really bummed because
c_squared2 came up with such a fun challenge. I do hope to start this one again some time in the future.
This is the decision that really kills me, but I have to do it.
I am cancelling my Pleasantview Novella.
I don't know what I was thinking when I thought I could write a complete story with really old, very bad pictures. I did really good for 11 chapters or so, but it has come to the point where I can't tell the story I want to anymore with what I have to work with. plus, I really want to play this neighborhood freely and I can't do that without worrying about getting enough pictures now.
Even though this will be a disappointing thing to many of you all I can say is I'm sorry.
Who knows, maybe I'll come up with something a lot better for my favorite Maxis neighborhood. *cough* HINT *cough*
