Hey everyone! I have finally taken the leap and started up my second SimLit. This doesn't mean, for anyone of you who are following it, that McGinnis Legacy is going away. I still have 8 generations to go with that one but this story is one that has been in my head for
years. I have attempted to write it many times and am hoping that I will finally be able to get it all out. I'm working very hard on it and already pretty proud of the story and characters that have begun to spring to life so I hope you will like them too.
Check out the first episode!
Episode 1: Sad Girl
The main character has an interesting legacy of her own. I won't spill any secrets yet but hopefully you'll get a glimpse in this first episode. Feel free to leave me some comments. I love the feedback!!!

Woo! Another amazing chapter! Keep up the amazing work.
Also, surprise plot twist for poor Megara... well, that's okay, maybe it turns out her roommate Adrien is hot or something?

I know I have been sadly MIA from this story...well actually from the forums in general.
As usual, real life takes over as it is wont to do, but this weekend, Saturday February 16th, is a pretty important date. It's my one year anniversary for my very first SimLit post of the McGinnis Newcrest challenge! Can't believe it has been an entire year~!
So in celebration, this week I have prepared an entire weeks of McGinnis' posts and I will be updating Spirit Guardian on my anniversary date. So stay tuned. I hope to get back to a more regular upload schedule soon. With luck, we'll be having McGinnis Mondays and Spirit Guardian Saturdays for the rest of the year.
If by chance I can't stick to this schedule I will be sure to let you know but...wish me luck!

IT'S TRUE. I still exist. So does Spirit Guardian. I'm very sorry for those who were patiently waiting (if there is anyone) that this episode took SO long!
Life has been overly busy and this chapter called for some serious work to get it to be where I wanted it to be... I think I was a little ambitious for this one.... But it turned out alright so I am pretty happy. Hopefully the next episode won't be such a hardship. At the very least we will be moving forward in time and it will not be the same day anymore! As always read and enjoy and please leave comments if you can. I LOVE them.

Sadly this is not a new chapter update (I am working on one I hope to release this week though) but I wanted to write up a post because the anniversary of my very first post passed yesterday. In celebration, I posted an edit of the main cast who has mostly been revealed over on my instagram where I started an account.

I also opened up a character Q&A which is still in my stories today. If you wanted to pop over and check it out that would be cool.
I know I haven't been the most consistent but I want to thank every reader who has stuck with me as I write this and hope that you will still be reading when the 2ND year anniversary comes around!
Til next update, happy simming!

So October hit me hard and fast with lots of RL things to do and it took me some serious time to get this update where I wanted it to be. If I'm truthful I got extremely carried away with my screenshot editting this time around. But there are some pretty heavy reveals in this episode so... I thought it was worth the crazy amount of work.
Hope that you all love the episode. And please, as always, I welcome feedback and comments.
Episode 8: Awakening

I live! I know I pretty much dropped off the grid for over a year. Life got to be so crazy. A lot has changed since last I posted. The pandemic, becoming a homeschool teacher/teaching assistant for my little Wiseman and also saying goodbye to grandmother in law in May 2020. I've had some pretty low lows and some other crazy times but I think I'm beginning to feel a little more normal again.
Needless to say with everything it was hard to make time for writing or video games but I never once wanted to give up on this and I am quite happy to say I am writing with an update to my chapter. Hopefully there's time in your crazy life to check it out.
As always....happy simming!
