So after twiddling my thumbs for the longest time (& encouragement from bex and Rad), I've finally decided to start a story babble.
So I've already got some ideas floating the next post. I've already started the draft. I want to get started on the Watsons again before they get too backlogged. I've wanted a reason to play them again and introduce their friends. Also, the more I play them, the sooner I want their baby to be born.
I'm hoping this shooting won't be so terrible like the last one. I want to make use of the poseboxes (love that there's so many) but seeing as how I'm new & that it gets annoying to minimize it each time I'm looking at a page for help and possible poses.
It's been a long time since I've thrown a party for the sims. I know it won't be a real party but a lovely get together counts for almost the same.

I'm glad you did start one!
Start slow with the poseboxes. You can get great shots using only a few of them, combining them with the animations, the parts boxes, and some of the hacks. Laura probably has the best list.

After overheating and other offline issues that needed attending to, I finally have the next post up. About time, eh? I guess that also explains my absence around here.
Now, I can finally concentrate on starting the next one. It'll probably be about the Goths again or Gabrielle's family, the Rameros.
I can't wait to have my grad school stuff done. It'll free up so much time to do this, which I'm loving a lot.

Yay for fixing RL issues with PC!

I'm feeling slightly brave and thinking of trying my hand at promoting one of the characters to politics. In particular, a mayoral run. The Goths seem like one of just the right families to do so.
If the next post isn't about them, then I'll definitely look like into the Rameros. The path I see for this family is going to be hard because I never want bad things for my sims. But, goodness, it makes it so much more interesting.

The next post is coming along swimmingly. It's looking to be a bit long. The writing is mostly done so now I have to just get to shooting my shots. Hope everyone is more cooperative this time around.

After much time spent on personal statement essays and tracking down people to get letters of recommendations, I've finally sent out the first of my applications. I'm only waiting for the transcripts for the other two, which just need to be mailed to me. So, now all I have to do is wait, which might be the worse part. Eeek!
With that said, I should have the next post up later today. Yay! I just feel bad that I've gotten so behind and I haven't had a chance to read anything from anyone. I'll be sure to remedy that situation shortly.

Thought I would share a behind-the-scenes pic with you all. Holy inappropriateness, Batman! Alexander decided to heartfart about a teen girl, Victoria, who is only about 14 with his young daughter. Way to set an example, Dad!

Look what I did: I swear, since I had the idea to start a blog the game is giving me problem after problem. At least I'm almost done writing my next post. At least there's one silver lining.

I might just end up using Flickr for my pictures. They look so much more sharp and crispy! I can't afford to buy my own website so this just might have to do. I appreciate Wordpress but some of the pictures weren't always the best quality.
I'm also realizing that I need to keep a list of who I want to update next. I just remembered that I needed to come back to poor Melinda's situation. I love her but why must I have to torture her? Time to start working up the next few drafts.

So I'm writing the next post concerning Reese and for some reason I'm not entirely happy with it. I already see where this is going in my head but I don't know how entirely confident I am what I'm writing. Luckily I don't have a deadline. Hopefully if I take some shots, it'll inspire better words from my pen.

Hmm, it seems that the post is getting more sexual in tone before I was ready to get there. In my head it works out and makes sense as to what's going on but I'm just being a 14-year-old right now. I thought I'd have quite a few more posts before having to "go there". I still feel like the material isn't good enough so I figured working on the shots that I see in my head might help to get the words out in a more organized and interesting manner. Ugh, why does this writing thing have to be such a pain sometimes? I, at least, have an outtake. I was playing around with height differences, because I always imagined Frances to be a tall, gangly fellow and it doesn't seem right that they're both the same height. Feel free to ignore the poseboxes and her name highlighted: Frances might have to be a tad taller, since I've put him at 5'11" in my head and Reese is 5'5". I saw Laura's chart on height differences and it was pretty close to the measurements I gave these two before I knew compared what I had in my own head. I might just end up using that for future references. Quite the babble here, huh?

Ugh, this is where writer's block is such a pain. I feel like I'm almost done but now I'm just stuck. Ah, I hate this feeling. Perhaps this a writing soundtrack comes in handy.

An unfortunate turn of events have forced me to delay the next post. I was certain that I would have had it up by now but, I've been dealing with a lot of emotional and physical stuff. I've had to see the doctor a lot in the past two-three weeks. It's been draining. Every time I think I'm almost done (the pictures are almost done and the writing is almost done as well), I get pulled in different directions. It isn't anything life-threatening but it does demand my attention whether I like it or not. For anyone who's still following, I appreciate it. I hope to have a new one up by the end of the this week or next week and to be able to follow everyone else's stories as well.
Thought I'd give anyone who might pay attention to my babble thread a heads-up.

I've started a babble/behind-the-scences blog. The Constructs of Winfield. There isn't much there but it's a nice way to check up on what I might be up to. Feel free to stop by and say hey!
