Ok, so I was overwhelmed with inspiration after reading through all of the entries. I also am just getting back into my game so this gave me a chance to feel may way around again. So here goes, just a little something silly.. which really fits the theme so enjoy!
This turned out a little different than my initial inspiration, but I got it done with time to spare! Phew. Hopefully, writing will get easier as the months pass and I get back in the habit.
Mine turned out different, too--wrote one real quick (oops, it was about ESO!). Came up with another (Climate Change and way depressing), and here's the third!
I really wanted to enter, but feel soooo inadequate, plus (okay excuse) I’ve been traveling a ton for work. However, I will definitely read all of these wonderful stories and vote! Such talent! Both old and new!
My story will be coming tomorrow. The weekend didn’t turn out as planned, but I’ll have the whole house to myself.(well, except for the Golden Boys) tomorrow and I’ll get it finished. In the meantime, I’ve been enjoying the stories posted so far.
I've had the story written since the beginning of the month, but when I opened the game to take pictures, I realized I had never told a story with Sims 4 (which is the only Sims game I have on my current laptop). For some reason, I struggled with pictures all month. What's strange is that I used to love setting up pictures with stories in 2 & 3. My life got super busy and I got very ill and didn't have time or energy for stories only playing the game to relax. I never looked at 4 with a storyteller's eye and now that I'm trying to it's familiar and foreign all at once. I'm giving it another go today (feeling good about it). I know some people here are also getting back into this after an hiatus. Was it like pulling teeth or like sitting down in with an old friend?
@Qnshr5 I did so much photo and machinima with TS3 that it was like second nature, so my first little while in TS4 was like pulling teeth. The main thing is to go to the settings to turn on the legacy camera (is it still called that?) or TS3 camera, then it will feel more familiar maybe.
I was using the list on the first page to make sure I read all of the entries, but didn't see Pally's there (I did read it a few days ago via facebook) and just noticed Zach's here in the posts too. I hope I am not missing more. This is not meant to come across rudely, I hope it doesn't.
I was on vacation and the form does not operate well with a cell phone .. but I am getting everything updated now

It is very different from gameplay for sure .. but for me, it is like an itch .. I cannot scratch it enough once I start

I only just saw this challenge at the tail end of last week. It might be crazy but... I was inspired. I've already written the story (hardest part was keeping in the word limit. What can I say I like words...) But I'm pretty proud of it. Just got to get my screenshots done and hopefully I will able to submit it. Good luck to anyone else whose being as crazy as me... lol
Good day Everyone and pleased to meet all of you sim writers! Here is my entry to SimLit for April:
"Essence of life"
(made available on my wordpress in the blog section)
I am exceedingly proud of it, as it is not just literature, but literature that ONLY the sims players will understand. It is truly a piece of Sims writing. I am just so happy with the photo edits, the look, the feel, everything and I really hope to gain some readers through participation here! Hope you will be reading and following.
(My passion project can be found under battyboots.tumblr.com ... it has it's own venue and only 50 readers, so I hope you will consider reading there too!)

@lisabee2 Can you let me know if the Author's Notes at the end make all the points that I need to mention and if they're correct and accurate?
Also, when will the ballot close? I want to be sure to schedule reading time!
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
I will try to submit an entry in the next one.
