> @simscognito said: > @ParadoxSims just read the first chapter of your story. You said you wanted feedback. So far I've not found any issues with it. It's very clear in its direction. Everything's set up really nicely. I also like the university student tone this story's going for.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am hoping to pop "episodes" out here and there. Unsure myself how to do spoilers, but yes I think Audrey is so pretty. The story originally was going to be focused more around her, but then I changed it to mostly be about James story. I think each season or mid season I want to shift around and tell the story more so from other characters perspectives. I already know where I want a few to go.
When I changed my signature yesterday I realized how much my writing has been from a male perspective lately, which is something I previously stated was a huge challenge for me. While I still find it difficult, I think I have improved slightly!
Is there any particular style of writing you think you've improved in during 2017?
I learned how to stick with one POV per chapter and not hop between all the character's heads. And when it is utterly important to hear from someone else in the same chapter, I make it obvious that there is a change.
I love your stories even if they do switch POV. Although, it's probably a good thing to learn.
Why thank you! Yes, I'm always learning new things about writing...and trying them out on you guys lol.
Ok sorry for posting so much but I have a chapter for all of you. It actually posted earlier but I was out (rescheduling this morning obviously failed *sigh* )
(Side Note: This was one of my favourite chapters to write. I love it! )
@chalicen I absolutely adored your A2A fanart (and the Evelyn one you sent today too ) We are always our own worst critics. But everyone I showed it to thought it was amazing! (In fact, would you mind if I printed it out to hang up in my office? Is that weird? Lol)
Good morning. I've been trying to write my monthly entry for a couple of hours now and everything sounds... too bland. Or too flowery. Or just, ugh.
So I'm giving up for today. But there's always tomorrow.

It looks like my plans to get through Gen 1 of my legacy before I head back to college are shot.
Long story short, I made a deal with my parents that I'd take Origin off my laptop so it'd be exclusively for school use. Fine, whatever, I need the good grades anyway. Backed up my laptop on an external hard drive and transferred my game files to a flash drive with the intention to transfer the save files to the desktop PC that's a good bit older (eight years to my laptop's year and a half) but still had Origin on it so I could play over winter break.
Christmas Eve, a whole bunch of pixels on my laptop screen died, and the university bookstore I bought it from didn't reopen until Tuesday this week. The soonest I could turn in my laptop for repair was Wednesday, so I did. Between the breaking and the turn-in, my laptop was still my primary computer since its screen was still mostly functional.
Wednesday night I went to boot up the desktop and discovered the graphics card died at a point unknown to anyone in the house, since my mom has her own laptop for work and my brother has a laptop at school, meaning the desktop is rarely used. Not sure how much repair services plus a replacement graphics card would be, nor do I know if it'd be worth fixing the desktop at this point given how old it is.
To be honest, I'm more upset about the desktop not working since I have all of my TS3 files on it and I don't believe it was ever backed up. Oh well. You win this time, tech.

@simscognito Thanks. It's just irritating as heck because it means constant borrowing of my mom's laptop until mine comes back from the shop.

Spoiler's for both BL and WAWRMO (if you've read both then you're okay).

Here to share an update on Winter's Alchemy, chapter 2.8 Undeniable, in which someone does something they should have done a long time ago.
