    If I was going to do a picture for the entire Swanson Family ( 7 generations from founders -present should I include their spouses as well for main heir and heiress from founder to-present)? I know I'm going to be having to track down CC for the characters' clothing from Clarrisa to the 1980s.

    I do not know if I will be able to find the restaurant I used way back in 2018 for one chapter and I don't know if I can re-create it myself when I didn't create the OG restaurant

    Well this makes me REALLY grumpy I can't find it online and I only have pictures of one side and I can't remember the name of the restaurant or anything or how big.

    I have a question, and I don't know if this quite the place to put it, but it feels right. What do you do when you have a sort of storyline you want to play and write, but you're not quite sure how to make it.... story-worthy?

    @Chrinnie

    In complete honesty practically any idea can be 'story-worthy', it just depends mainly on your preference - if you want to write something strictly close to your gameplay (in terms of just writing what happens in your gameplay, maybe with some extra commentary) or something more fleshed out (adding in your own sort of story to go alongside your gameplay).

    As someone who prefers writing more narrative-heavy stories, I tend to start off planning by writing every rough idea I have for the plot (no matter how rough) and then start building some ideas for main characters, and then there's at least a start. I have a lot of ideas for stories, but very rarely do I think of a way to turn them into full-on plots or gameplay scenarios...

    I would say if you want to do the latter and do gameplay but with your own story elements - before you start your gameplay, maybe write some things you want to include in the story (maybe rough ideas for character personalities, their Traits if you want to include those) and then maybe as a first idea, a kind of an early story-driving event of some kind. Then that way you at least have a sort of a story starter, and then that way you can start doing the rest of your storytelling with gameplay.

    An example would be: I did a challenge a while back (Arcane Academy Challenge) which involved the Realm of Magic pack, having to fulfil a bunch of related challenges and then eventually build your own magic school. The starting event of the actual story element was that the main character got kicked out of the Magic Realm's school and then vowed to get revenge by training enough to make a better one.

    @SnowBnuuy Thanks for this. I just have this problem where I start something, and then it trails off because I haven't much of a story behind it. Just trying to work out an idea in my head that I like, but don't want to let it trail off.

    Anyone else having trouble getting Wordpress to load? It just seems to load and load for minutes. the one time I did get as far as my site, it tried to tell tme there were no posts even though I could see the total at the top. Last month, I did eventually get it to load and let me create new posts, but not this month apparently. I'm ready to just be done with the whole thing. Not even sure I want to try to figure out a new blog site. Not if I can't even link to my old posts. I thought maybe Wordpress was trying to get me to switch to using Jetpack, but that won't load either. Then I was going to see what I could do on my phone, where the Jetpack app actually does load for some strange reason, only to have imgur refuse to let me log in using Facebook. Must be a sign.

    Seems Wordptess decided to start working again if still a bit sluggishly. It only took several hours figuring out how to get everything moved to Wix. A very suspicious coincidence if you ask me. Anyway, I can finally Chapter 28 of Monday's Child: Arwyn here

    Just a little announcement about my next chapter if you suddenly start reading the next chapter (interlude 7.7) and you haven't read the other 125 posts -what the pics represent song wise, might be confusing to you since except for the person singing it will all be mostly flashback of the other 5-6 generations
