Hey there Simmers! The Absentee Author reemerges. So life has gotten very busy and I am having a hard time keeping up with the upload schedule I designed for myself.... so as stated before I will be taking a short time off to catch up with myself and get ahead of this story. Cameron and his family will return April 16th. So until then. Please enjoy the second half of Heir McGinnis.
I am BACK! So the first of Generation 2's chapters is live and we will be back to uploading three days a week again. Thank you everyone for allowing me a small break to get my head back in the game and I hope that you all enjoy the latest updates as we follow Cam in his journey as the newest heir to the McGinnis legacy.
So today is an extra special day. Because its Posting Day... no just kidding. Today is my birthday and I have worked really hard to make today's post extra special and it even has a little bit of drama in it. I have an entire story arch planned for Cam's teenage years and I hope that you all enjoy the beginning of it. Please let me know what you think. And if you are new... well there are 23 post to get through but I hope you enjoy.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading! Also don't forget to leave me comments and feedback if you have the time. I love hearing from other simmers about their thoughts.
Hey all, so today's update is running behind. Hope to have it up by the end of the day. If not I promise I will get it up ASAP and that I will still have 2.4 up on Monday. It might just be a very busy weekend...
So a little late, but I am determined to stay on schedule. Here's Chapter 2.4 Decisions of Emotion! I am quite proud of how this chapter came along. Please read and let me know your thoughts. And tune back in the for the next exciting episode.
Here's the next installment and one of the final Gen 2 Teenager Chapters. We are finally making our way into Young Adult life with Cam after this. But for this one I really wanted to try to focus on the third and sort of left out Laura. The only girl she really got pushed aside with all the drama going on between the boys. Hope you enjoy.
Tune in this chapter, to see if the McGinnis Brothers bury the hatchet and will Madeline own up to her part in the misunderstanding.? Their Young Adult Birthday is right around the corner. As I was writing this, it again seemed like it needed another Chapter to wrap. So later today or tomorrow I will be releasing the next chapter with their actual birthday party. Please read and enjoy and as always let me know what you think.
I have returned. Life got really busy and on top of that this particular chapter, required a lot of poses to get the story line I really wanted. I still need to go back through and give credit for all the poses but with it taking so long to just finish it I will be going back in and editting that part a little later today(she says hopefully). As it is... here is the final teen chapter for Generation 2.
Finally back with another update. Hoping to jump back on track now that I got through some of the meatier parts of my arch. We will see... Oh well, hope you enjoy!
I have been working hard and believe it or not... I actually have chapters to post this week! Today's is already up and I have one schedule for Wednesday! I know, it's utterly amazing! But all that aside. It's time to check in with Cam and Madeline coming back from the hospital.
So... I didn't lie. Here is second chapter update for this week. It's amazing. It's like my life has finally gotten in order again. I really like how this chapter turned out so I hope you all like it too. Believe it or not, it looks like there is even a chapter almost done and ready for Friday. Three updates in a week, it's like she's back on schedule.
Well.... I guess we'll see. For now, please enjoy:
So I promised myself no more getting upset if I can't upload at 8 am but that I would just do my best to upload before the end of the day... and I actually managed to stick with the schedule. This chapter was planned and also completely off the cuff. I had a general idea but I am starting to take a few more cues from my Sims.
I have been a little busy IRL again but never fear, I have not forgotten my challenge. Today I have another chapter to upload and I am still working at writing out more story as well. I really have a lot of fun writing this. And I hope that there are people who enjoy reading it as well.
Coming back around to the McGinnis Legacy, Cam and Madeline's love story is progressing along and now Cam is turning his attention back to his Mayoral duties. So far inspiration has not dained to strike, but Cam is very determined that he will get that figured out very soon. Check out how its going in:
I know it's been a while but I am finally getting a chance to update. I promised myself that I would stop apologizing but I would like to explain the abscence. IRL has gotten a little complicated. For those who don't know, I am a stay at home mom of a now 4 year old little boy and live in caretaker of his great-grandma who has late stage Alzheimers. On top of that, my mother-in-law got a pay cut so things are tight. Good news I got a job as a researcher (have a B.A. in Environmental Bio) for a local sustainable company, bad news is I have even more work to do and less time squeeze it in.
Now I don't want to stop my SimLit so you can breath a sigh of relief [if you were holding it]. I am bound and determined to get through these ten generations and I don't know about you but I still very much LOVE my Cameron. I grow to love him every time I sit down to write out a chapter and I look through my screen shots. His story almost seems to jump to life to me and the story is becoming so game driven without me really trying.
This particular chapter is beginning the build of Cameron's family friendly neighborhood and marks the introduction of a character borrowed from another Simmer. @LegacySims2017 's Dylan Wahl will be joining the cast for the next few chapters. He doesn't appear yet but the drama that unfolded to try to introduce him... well, you'll see. There is a small warning at the beginning of the chapter but I would just like to say it's not my most cheerful chapter. Either way, please read and let me know what you think.
Thanks for reading through all my rambles. Without further ado,
I am working on getting my second generation heir's Affordable Family Housing Neighborhood built as per the #BuildNewcrest Legacy Rules and I just couldn't do it without a good contractor, as such this chapter features @LegacySims2017's Dylan Wahl from his House of Pancakes series. [Thanks so much for loaning him to me!]
Right now IRL, is a bit busy. So I will only be uploading here a minimum of once a week for sure. IF by chance, life works out or inspiration strikes and I get more written I will definitely post it but I am only guaranteeing a single upload a week for sure.
I am also working on making a wordpress blog, which may eventually have the McGinnis Legacy moved to it, but will be home to at least one more story that I am working on. More updates to follow.
As always please read and I would LOVE to hear your feedback. Thanks!
Today the "aem" of my chapter was to have a fun, family filled fitting for Cam's wedding. I liked how it turned out... warning: lots of warm family feels ahead. Check it out when you have the time.
Here's a late night update (at least from where I live) to the legacy. I have maybe one more chapters photos saved up but it may be a bit. With IRL being crazy and the newest update causing the glitchiness of blurry photos I may wait a bit before I end up posting again... Rest assured that I am diligently working on this.
Hey all, sorry for anyone actually reading my Legacy that it has gone a little silent. With the screenshot glitch happening I have been having a hard time taking screen shots... that and with all the Mercury Retrograde technological fails happening I have taken to working on more background projects until it is over... Thankfully, nothing personal has really happened to me but I have heard enough horror stories to approach all with caution.
In a way, it is helpful as I am preparing to begin a secondary story-driven SimLit, which you might have noticed is showing up in my signature (if your not always looking at this on a phone). Hoping that with a variety I can be productive and have fun. Keep an eye out of a second thread as we get closer to its release.
The day I post a new update to the McGinnis Legacy. The Wedding is finally here... Hope you read and enjoy and please feel free to leave your creative criticism here. I love feedback!!!
I know I have been sadly MIA from this story...well actually from the forums in general. As usual, real life takes over as it is wont to do, but this weekend, Saturday February 16th, is a pretty important date. It's my one year anniversary for my very first SimLit post of this very SimLit, my loveable McGinnis Newcrest Challenge!
It's pretty astounding. Can't believe it has been an entire year~!
So in celebration, this week I have prepared an entire weeks of McGinnis' posts. Today marks the first release. So let's check in with our second generation heir, Cameron and his new wife, Madeline and see how new marriage is treating them and the rest of the McGinnises.
As an added bonus, I will be updating Spirit Guardian (my other SimLit which just began this past October) on my anniversary date. I hope that all of you that read the McGinnis Legacy will pop on over to check it out. I hope to get back to a more regular upload schedule soon. With luck, we'll be having McGinnis Mondays and Spirit Guardian Saturdays for the rest of the year.
If by chance I can't stick to this schedule I will be sure to let you know but...wish me luck!
