Another chapter but this one's a WAWRMO one...

Chapter 24 Nightmares

@friendsfan367 Thanks, it's a cute chapter.

i got to work on lauren going in to labor. if she doesn't soon cog might strangle me. lol.

Right you are, @friendsfan367
@Bugsie2016 Woah! This is better than mint-chocolate chip ice-cream!

I just got what you did there. Is that a BL reference??

@Bugsie2016 yes it is a BL reference! Nice avi by the way!
@AuroraLockwood Aww Natalie is adorable. She looks a bit unsure there. I wander what her mum's telling her.

Thought it was, I was re-reading the chapter. I would say I was checking for mistakes but I wasn't I was just reading it.

Hey, I do that too @Bugsie2016 Or I just flick through my chapters and get totally awed by the fact that I made a website!

Question: Do you ever just read your own chapter without looking to edit or proof-read it?

OK, off to go reread BL gen 1. (S/N: it's like 10 very badly written chapters long. It won't take that long.)

Edit: I gave in after a few lines. Too much bad writing for one day. (Yes, it's my running joke that gen 1 is terrible!)

I think that's the curse of any artist @Bugsie2016 ! To look back on your work and dislike early writing. You know what though, it got you readers as cognito says so it can't be as bad as you think!

Looking back through Alicia's story I notice some grammatical errors and giant plot holes, but hey, people still liked it!

Of course it is, Cog was surprised at my rare enthusiasm for a chapter. (Still a W.I.P though. I feel in the mood for some PTLT right now. Which is good news for @simscognito . PTLT is my other story that's only got one chapter published so far.

)

@Bugsie2016 yayyy! Yes that is great news! I am having way too much fun this weekend thanks to Bugsie!

@Karilan yes, I get so embarrassed reading old stories too, especially ones that got published, because everyone can see my bad writing!

@ilovebunnys65 hi, I see we have something in common. We both love bunnies!!!

Yes. But then I end up finding something to edit.

@LegacySims2017 yes that happens to me too!

One time I was reading and I found something that needed editing but just as I entered the website, the wifi went down! That was soooo frustrating!

I forget to proof read it so that's why the FB post on the one (Look What You Made Me Do" chapter) has "Fake" profile on. I made some other mistakes but by the time I notice them It's too late to fix them

MadameLee · January 2018

That certainly was weird-my sister is visiting briefly and said "hi" (my name)" which is unusually for her

Aww yes you told me @Bugsie2016 Yes show your bunny pics! You can never get enough bunny pics. I unfortunately didn't take many pics of Alexander, my bunny. I only have one and he's mostly covered by the grass.

Whom should give Jane a pet in the future? a sibling or the spouse?

@MadameLee possibly Jane's sister. It could be a way of showing her appreciation, foregiveness and thankfulness for the support since.

I do! I did that last night! I reread some short Sim stories I'd written a few years ago, and I had forgotten nearly all of the words, so reading it felt very fresh and new! I couldn't help but notice a few typos... but I resisted the urge to go in and fix them.

How about you, Cog, do you do that?

BUNNNYYYYY! Hi! Hugs! How's life? Are you still in the IB programme?

CathyTea · January 2018

I'm feeling like bringing back a story that's been on hiatus for a good long year!

It's because of @Rainydayz179 's TS3 story--It's got me itching to play TS3! I have a three-day weekend with very few obligations, so maybe?

MadameLee · January 2018

@simscognito what do you think the two pictures in the spoiler mean

?

Is it the ISBI one? I loved that story. I haven't gotten to actually play mine in days cuz I've been working on something new for them... sort of.

@CathyTea yayy another ts3 story! They have a special place in my heart, since they were the first simLits I read.

Yes I do do that. I often read my old stories dating back to when I was five (they're not simLits). I don't correct all the grammar errors in them either, because I see the mistakes as showing how far I've come in the writing process - although, the early mistakes from when I was five are rather cute,I think.

I've showed @Bugsie2016 one of them. XD

@MadameLee Is that Henry? Is he dying?

I know that's Jane who's also tied up.

in the actual chapter it wil be more fuzzy. since both these and the other picture are dreams sequences of Jane's.

It wasn't too bad. Didn't make much sense but it wasn't too bad. (Now I need to get back to writing PTLT. I won't finish the rest of the chapters for this year if I keep getting distracted.)
