Be still my beating heart, no matter how much I write and post online, I am always nervous at the start of a new adventure!
Segue to! The Awesome and Disastrous Adventures of Jordan Crawford! (I do love an absurdly long title for stories!)
Jordan Crawford is as normal as normal comes; red messy hair, light brown eyes, slightly chubby, loves the color yellow, and while not exactly a nerd, she is definitely a geek. This is her own personal telling of what it is like to go from an awkward teenager to a self-assured adult! Follow her as she works her way through young adulthood, jumping from job to job, struggling to keep up with her ambitious friends, and fighting off every possible romantic advance that may come her way.

I've been looking for something new to read as a couple of stories I've been following have ended. I will check it out.
i plan to read yours when masks are no longer a thing.. right now i just make comments like is she the one sittiing or the one with no head. which isn't meant to be mean its just so you know what pic i mean.
I was a bit prolific this week so here's another chapter of Sim 66. Now I haven't done vampires, ghosts, magic or werewolves in the story so far but science-fiction occasionally crops up in the saga. Here we have a chapter involving some of the side characters of the story...in particular two of the most mysterious and strange ones. Chapter 162: Absorbed.

I would absolutely love 💕 it if you’d like to check out my story for something new to read. 😊 Visitors to my blog have been slow in coming so I’m always overjoyed when a new reader joins me.
Honestly, it has been so long since I have been on the forums. I feel like a complete stranger right about now so it’s really nice to see this thread still going. Looks like I have a lot of stories to check out and blogs to follow. I’m always looking for a new story to read.

Your story looks so interesting, and I love that you include events in history to go along with it. I just read your prologue and it grab my attention. I would have left you a comment but my iPad is being a pain with trying to get Google to sign in. I’ll keep tackling it though and try to leave your comments if I can get it to cooperate. I’m looking forward to reading for the chapters.
Be warned...it's up to 162 chapters so far! It was a little writing experiment that got way out of hand.
Haha! No worries. I’m used to biting off big chunks of story. It may take me a while to swallow it all but I will get there. 😊 funny how those stories can take on a life of their own.
Not only have I written a 162 chapter story, I have along the way become an accidental expert in the 1960s especially fashion and home decor...previously I only had a vague knowledge of it, now I could go on Jeopardy or Mastermind or something like that.
That sounds pretty cool! I haven’t become an expert in anything through telling my stories haha. But then I’m not doing a specific era or challenge or anything like that.
Like a lot of people, I had an idea of the 1960s in my head before I started writing the story and I have a degree in history so that helped but I'm writing a story about people leading their lives, not a history book...the era's got to be real and pertinent to the characters and not just a series of references about historical events. What I didn't know as much when I started was how the world and the characters would look and what pop culture they'd be consuming but that's the most important day to day stuff for the story.
I started a Pinterest page where I collect images of fashion, hair styles and interior decorations of the era and every outfit you see and the building interiors are all based on real photos from the Sixties. It currently has just over 1,500 images in the folder! Every time I put a link to a song in the story, it's one that would have been in the charts for that week or one that had been released beforehand. I don't put in a song that hasn't been released yet in the timeline.
So, like I said, I became an expert on the decade since starting writing Sim 66 but I wasn't one at the start.
see less confused today. lol. everything is back but my bose speaker . so still a little bummed but you smehow manage to cheer me up. it will be hader this time though my stereo was already broke so bose was all i had.
