Not bad...not bad at all. With lockdowns one day is much like the next. The trick is to be productive as you can.
this is my lockdown activity watch tv watch watch tv watch tv repeat. ocassionally i remember to come here but on weekends since i don't need to worry about work i watch all the shows i missed before covid. its my way of dealing with covid.
Hi people! I've been absent again, but that has been because of medical reasons. I've basically had an over a month-long migraine (I do have tendency to get migraines sometimes, but not to THIS degree), but it's finally getting better and I managed to figure out what was wrong with the help of a doctor. It was nothing serious, and I hope I'll be back to my normal soon. I'm also hoping to get back to writing soon, but it might take some time until I can look at a computer screen for long enough to actually get to photoshooting. I was really hoping to write more of Forget-Me-Not, and I have several Chrysanthemum Tango -chapters drafted and waiting for pics and editing... oh, well, hopefully soon.
How are you all?

I'm really sorry you've been going through all that. I'm glad you'll hopefully get back to your normal self soon.
I'm coming back from a year-long break from SimLit, it's good to get back into it again and have a few readers, as well as finding new stories to read as well.
@RipuAncestor: it's always the migraines or normal headaches and thinking you can sleep them off (or is that just me?) Looking forward to whatever's in the future either way!
poor ayden. with my tax refund i wanted a new baby. nonot areal one. from paradise galleries . but mom doesn't like that i'm intreated in dolls at my age. so she said i could get a few switch games. heres the funny part 2 switch games cost more than 1 doll. i got the new fifa game and the upcoming story of the seasons game. going to play and write tonight. cause bunkbeds will be here tuesday.

It took me a month until I contacted the doctor because I thought just that... Maybe one day we'll learn.

@RipuAncestor, get well soon. yea, migraines and headaches don't go to well with screens. take a lot of rest. As for me, nothing much here... Trying to write the next generation's story but I'm so lazy to take and edit screenshots. I hope my laziness goes away soon ;p

Hey---I'm looking for a few extras to fill out a comic, so I could use simself or character suggestions. It's a low-key opportunity for your sims to show up in the background doing something, sort of like this.
The scene is San Myshuno (i.e., totally not NYC) in the late '90s. There are no vampires or spellcasters in this universe. I'm looking for sims in the following roles:
Couple arguing
Lady giving The Look to butch lady
If this works, I'll be back periodically to scout sims! And I also have to fill out scenes in a coffee shop and subway. Right now, the only specific people I have on the train are a subway preacher, a businessman who is constantly angry at everything, a long-haired kid with JCNO jeans and a huge backpack, and the protagonist.

I have a question: Do you prefer one page with a long chapter, or individual pages with the one chapter spread between them?
I'm writing a chapter, and it's gotten a lot longer than my usual ones. I'm wondering whether I should have it in a part 1 and a part 2 on different pages, or in one long page.
I'm thinking that one long page makes it easier to find and read in one go, but if you lose where you are, it might be hard to find where you got to.
Two pages for the chapter would make it easier to continue where you left off, as long as you remember which page you got to. However, I sometimes find finding the second page of a chapter hard (is this just me?) if it's not directly linked or something.
Hopefully I'll get some suggestions that will help .
I have a question: Do you prefer one page with a long chapter, or individual pages with the one chapter spread between them?
Normally I prefer one chapter per entry or page. As my story is rotational a day in the life of a particular character becomes one chapter. I have, on a couple of occasions had to divide chapters into a part 1 and 2 because it was getting very long and needed to be broken up to make things more manageable. That was the case when I wrote the chapter straight on to the forums here but since migrating Sim 66 to its own site I can go away and edit more so the long chapter format isn't an issue anymore.
OK...new chapter time. A few episodes ago we saw Julia getting dressed up to go to a special event in town and...possibly...meet a special person and in this instalment we find out What Julia Did Next.

I'm reading 2 stories that make use of the page function, and I have to say that with both of them I initially completely missed when a post had a second page. So you may want to consider that some of your readers may not notice page 2 if they're inobservant like me
Personally if you think the update is too long, I would just split it into two separate blog entries published separately as part one and part 2 - you could still post them on the same day regardless.
Long chapters are not necessarily an issue though, if the length is warranted! I think it depends more on how much new information you're presenting to the reader - if it's a lot of previously unknown information that's not necessarily related, it may be a bit of a sensory overload. If it's more of a natural flow where it makes sense to keep all the events in a single chapter with no natural breaking point, I'd just keep them together But that's just my two cents!
Do you prefer one page with a long chapter, or individual pages with the one chapter spread between them? @JamesSims528 I normally have a long chapter. The only exception is when I get to my Rashmon chapter so I have other pages on Blogspot for it. (and the riddle chapter)

My custom one I created with platforms has them climbing a ladder, so am going to guess official ones will too.
