@eXokamikaze I LOVE Ninjapig's work diary! What an awesome idea!
Thanks for reading and for all your encouragement, CT! To think that when I first posted in the Lounge, having such a job was still just a dream of mine. I'm really thankful to be able to post this part up!
Awww guys the daughter of the lady I take care of just stopped by the house as I was caring for her mom and gave me a bag full of gifts. They are so sweet.
I didn't expect them to do all that especially since she has had surgery this week and we have all been worried about her, thought I was going to have to spend today in the hospital with her but they let her come home last night. They are so sweet. I can't stop saying thank you
*popped on minecraft, two hours go by* wait...*looks at sims computer, they be frozen at the library* oops...why is minecraft so addictive!? Anyone *who plays* did y'all know that you can type in/gamemode 3 and IT IS X RAY MODE!?!?!? I found a cave spider spawner, a zombie spawner, and a skelly spawner all within like, 60 blocks of each other!!!!!!!! O.O
Question: What do I do when I start to become uninspired by a story? I was thinking of doing a time jump, but I'm not sure how I could get it to work.
You could try reading your story from the start, as a reader and not as the author? It could help you remember what it was about the story that inspired you in the first place.
@Munterbacon
That video reminded me that I need to check my Skyrim game again sometime soon.
I too need to check on my Skyrim game soon. I'm probably going to need to do a fresh install and re-download my mods... again... But it's still an awesome game!

You know, I was thinking about that when I read the post--how lucky we all were to get to be part of your journey! And your attitude towards your bar exams was so inspiring to me! I love your healthy and optimistic approach! It's something I think about now and then when I need to draw a little strength for perseverance!
And it's so neat the way it's worked out!
Also, like I mentioned in my comment, it's so great that you're taking time now to notice all the little things, like colleagues smiling at you in the hall, and all the little steps towards making friends, and then all the little details of learning new things! As I read that, I reflected on my first four years at the place where I work now--I was so busy then, and so much in the thick of it, that I just sort of moved through that whole process just focusing on doing what had to be done! And now that I look back, I can feel an appreciation of those early stages of meeting people, learning the processes and procedures and techniques, and developing new skills! It really helps me see how beneficial jobs can be in developing greater capacities within ourselves! So... those are thoughts I have from reading your post!
Question: What do I do when I start to become uninspired by a story? I was thinking of doing a time jump, but I'm not sure how I could get it to work.
Time jumps can work for sure. Sometimes, I also will take a break from that story and turn to another.
Also--and this is sort of a goofy twist, but one I really love--I just let myself explore "boring." Like I let the lives of the Sims express the lack of inspiration I feel... but since they're all wearing chicken hats, pretty soon, they start getting inspired and doing interesting things, and so then I find the story interesting again!
But for those who don't wear chicken hats... I just turn to a different story for a while.
eeeps, I did another shell build I'm addicted to building xD I still feel like my first speed build (the modern bachelor loft) was the best but I also like this one

*ears perk up* Did somebody say TIME JUMP?! (No, but seriously, if you decide to do one and need any help/ideas, please let me know! I am not claiming to be an expert on them or anything by any means, but I do them often in my stories, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve about how to pull them off )
As for inspiration... I like the idea others had suggested about going back and re-reading and trying to figure out what had made you love the story and want to tell it in the first place! Also taking a bit of a break and stepping away for a little while can help too!
I hope you find your Inspired moodlet again soon @SummerFalls !

@MadameLee: Alice's face looks pretty close to the original! I'd probably say something similar about Pinocchio if I could see his eyes.

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of her myself. Can't wait to see what the next few months will bring!
