    I need advice, guys. What do you do when you have a story you haven't updated in a while, and haven't felt like updating it, and you don't want to abandon it or let it die, but at the same time, it doesn't feel worth it to update it anymore?

    that reminds me i'm mad at adrien and kris. i can't get a pic of them as yas everytime i try they get naked. been happening since yesterday.

    :D
    ...that is the butt of the joke!

    i would be mad but its true. their kids are currently at adriens baby mama house. i forget her name. but i sent travis too. the brand new empty house is responsible for their first real kid.

    Too many Benders! You know I'm teasing, @friendsfan367.

    i know i actually like that their big family . when i was 5 wished for a brother thinking i would get a sister. i was 5 and got what i asked for.


    heres he funny part. years later when i think it was my sister in law was pregnant i can't remember which time . my brother said its gonna be a boy. i said its a girl . he said its a boy. i said its a girl. he said how do you know? i said cause i wanted a brother and got one. so i always get what i want.

    It's kind of interesting the new EP

    It looks pretty cool to me, although I'm mainly excited about the historical costumes in the trailer. :D

    What are you guys looking forward to in Get Famous?

    Well, I like the idea of video production and the drones. Those could be very, very interesting. Like a Neighborhood Rotation or just a story based and one of the neighbors could spy on everyone with their drone. Muahaha! >:)

    I like the idea of acting, too. Along with the addition of having a job that could be literally anything. So, a stay-at-home mom/dads or Neighborhood Spy or Lazy Bum could all be options. lol

    Get Famous will add "careers" for anything? :open_mouth:

    Oh. I'm very sorry. I was wrong.

    The patch in November will contain the self-employed addition.

    Hi @lovesstorms ! Your avi is so colourful!

    Ooh, I like the self employed option! I wonder what skills they’ll use.

    Thanks! I love this one, too.

    This is an open-ended kind of option. There won't be any skills or actions or levels associated with whatever job/career you choose. The biggest thing is you won't be labeled Unemployed anymore.

    @friendsfan367 I said non-school spirit day "Pyjama Day" counts as 'school spirit. But this sim will be wearing a night gown 24/7 all 365 (or whatever sims day) a year..because of the fact she's sort of dressed like Wendy...since she's at the age she's does Wendy-related stuff

    Rememer my Anneorine religion? Well Wendy is what a teenage daughter of the current priestess starts doing priestess-related stuff by attending to Wendy-related (ie "mothering) stuff..so to do so the teen's clothing is only a night gown

    My story's only had 13 chapters so i don't think a spinoff would work.

    @LyricSimsz15 I couldn’t answer this earlier.

    I’ve recently came back to simlit and feel bad about 2...3 stories that I’ve sort of abandoned. I’ve let my inspiration take me elsewhere for now but I still want to come back to them. I felt it wasn’t worth it to try to force my head into a space it didn’t want to go. I was just going to be distracted by my other ideas, and they deserve attention too!

    Edit: excuse my many errors. Sneaking in here on my phone at work because it’s Friday and I just don’t want to work. Oops!

    so anyone is a Disney Villian fan-there's a channel on youtube which is called "Pattycake Productions" and normally they take songs from muscians and put them into either a fairytale or fairytale inspired story. (ie Maleficent is set to Michael Jackson's songs) well, they made an original series (with an original songs) called the Villains' Lair...the first episode been up since October 12th.

    I'm experienced with it! I call it "germination..." The ideas aren't yet ready to be written, but the seed is still viable!

    When this happens, let it sit. It is, actually, OK if you never finish it or return to it! It can remain cyrogenically viable for ages, ready for you to return when the time is right!

    I like to follow my energy and inspiration, so if that leads me elsewhere, that's where I'll go... and often, the inspiration trail eventually winds back to the project waiting...

    Right now... pretty much everything is in germination... I'm getting ready to write a new chapter about Geoffrey Landgraab's political campaign in "Ten-Cent," and I'm nearly ready to write another V-Live for Akira and one of the other S-Boys, but not quite there yet...

    My main germination energy right now is going towards the ESO fanfic I'm drafting--I'm so happy about this one! It will probably have only one pic per chapter, and it's really dreamy, meditative, and based on kindness and compassion, which is kind of funny since the game involves so much killing. But I think the idea of a Psijic Mystic who's seen battle and had to fight demons is very intriguing...

    I'm feeling my writing well start to fill, but it's not at overflowing yet, and that's where I like it to be when I write! :)
