Hello fellow simmers!
I'm currently working on a story, The McDougal Legacy which is a saga following 5 generations of the McDougal household (5 because I don't know if I'll be able to go on till 10 generations!
)
What's so unique about this story?
Well, not only do I narrate the events in my characters' lives, but I also make
comic-strips that depict conversations between different characters! Isn't that cool?
Here are a few glimpses of the story from the chapters I've written so far:

Let me know what you think about my story in the comments down below. I'm waiting to hear from you guys!
PS: Special shout-out to
@Julyvee94 for giving me this idea of creating a thread here on the forums. Thank you so much for all the support!

EDIT: I'm back after reading all the chapters you've posted so far! I love this! It's a page-turner, for sure! I've been reading NoWayJose's tips on Creating a Scene (https://jonathanchronicles.wordpress.com/2016/03/22/making-a-scene/) and it's really neat how many of those tips you're using!
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
To be honest, I had the legacy up on my blog about a week ago. I even showed it to a few of my friends but no one bothered to have a look at it. I felt bad that there was no one to acknowledge the efforts I put in to create that story. I was planning to give up, even! And then I came across @mastressalita 's blog where she talked about a similar incident and how she found you guys here on the forums. That gave me some hope to do the same. And I'm glad I didn't give up because if I had, I wouldn't have met you all, amazing people who're so supportive and helpful! I don't know who you guys are in real or where you come from, yet I see a friend in all of you, a friend I can count on, and who'll be there whenever I need him/her!
(Ok I'm going to stop being so melodramatic now , but I really wanted to pour my heart out and tell you all how I feel )
So a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for appreciating my work and giving me the much needed feedback! You're all awesomesauce!!
Thanks for the compliment! @CathyTea Many of my friends say that the female sim looks just like me Guess now you know what I look like in real!
Oh and about these tips, I had no idea there were tips on creating scenes LOL Thanks for sending the link, I read them and they're all amazing!
Aw, yay! I know what you mean about it feeling discouraging at times, and I'm so happy that you got encouragement and here you are!

I think that a lot of us probably internalize these tips from all the tv shows and movies we've watched, plus all the stories we read! In my writing, I often tend to stay away from what I think of as "plot" (LOL!), but reading these tips helps me see that we can find "plot" in all sorts of big and little things. Now I'm watching for it in my Sims' lives.
And I really enjoyed reflecting on NoWayJose's comments while I was reading your legacy--it was instructive and inspiring, and since I got into page-turner mode, I know how effective you were at moving the plot along! Really nice work!

Thank you!
