Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you know that my student internship abroad has started, so my story is on hiatus until April.
I hope you're all doing great!
So my own question for you all: Do you ever place any items in the background to reference certain things? Such as clutter, clothing etc
Frequently, often wondering if anyone will notice. I especially love the photography that sims can do, even though I mostly do that in my Sims 3 Rose legacy since one of them IS in the photographer career. I also like tossing in CC that others have done like the Butterfly Effect book poster sterretjee did or the ones of Jackson Day by pammiechick.
But I believe it's an effective way of making the story come just a little bit more to life to be sure to add background things to reference back to something that's already happened. The only drawback is if I forget to remove it during a reshoot if it's not supposed to be there yet, but that's happened less and less since my eye is more trained to watch for stuff like that.
It's been a while since we had a discussion question. I've not been posting updates for BL as there haven't been any (shock I know!). I've been updating my apocalypse story and that's not the one I have for this reading circle.
Here's a discussion question: What's your favourite part of writing a chapter?
It's been a long time I posted anything. I hope it's still okay to post story updates here.
@Bugsie2016 Since I've just finished a chapter and everything is still fresh in my mind, I think I can answer your question. For me the most favourite part is when I don't have to "force" the characters do speak and they do it on their own. When they literally bombard me with their thoughts that I am worried I don't catch them and write them all down in time and they disperse unwritten, unspoken.
I love it when they're are their true self. When I read what they said and I can tell: this is the essence of him or her. And most of all I love the moments when they make me laugh. That's when I'm the happiest.
@Maladi777 That's interesting. Mine never want to say anything. They're the masters of secrecy, well Claude isn't but I don't get to write him as much now which is a pain for me. Currently learning about Riley, slowly...it's a pain to get inside her head, she isn't very co-operative at the moment.
We have too many inactive members, I'm afraid. The purpose of this reading circle was to read and discuss our stories which is no longer happening.
Finding a new circle sounds like a logical next step.

Agreed. I'm on a hunt currently for a new one. I wish you luck in your search, @Maladi777 !!
