@eric_the_sims_man I just started reading your legacy, it's funny how we got a similar impression of Don and the Calientes. However, I don't think Dina is so nice in my story :P
Ugh Stardew Valley is great lol I get into such phases with games where that's all I'll play for a while. Of course the sims has always had a special place in my heart.
Loving the style of your tribe and it's gone so far! I've been wanting to do an Amazon Challenge and I started one in the past but the save got messed up. Are you enjoying it?
Just going to say sorry again for delays in the updates. Ideally I'd have a story update every day or every other day but I've been busy with helping my parents move and with driving lessons on the weekend :/ The next update should be out late tonight though! In the meantime, I checked out the poll so far and with 23 votes…
Thanks, that's what I've been doing so far. Also, regarding the book you mentioned in an earlier post, it sounds really interesting. I had a course on the biological basis of behaviour in school last year and stress was a really important topic. Basically when we get stressed, the brain releases a hormone that gives the…
When writing dialogue do you keep talking from the same person in the same paragraph and only change paragraphs when the speaker changes? Or do you start a new paragraph for every line of dialogue no matter the speaker? Example: Same person talking: "Hi," description, "How are you?" OR "Hi," description. "How are you?"
I really don't want to give anything away but things definitely are not as simple as they seem. I'll only say that in about 3 chapters, things are going to get MESSED UP. @ENolan Perfect mix of shame and celebration lol @eric_the_sims_man @DreamsInPixels that's what I was going for :P
Finally got around to posting the newest chapter after such a busy few days. It lends nicely to our discussion as it gives some more insight into Bella and Mortimer's relationship and the future with Don.
A Rose for Bella - Chapter 7: Getaway WARNING: Woohoo. October's heavy rain dissipated into soft snow as November commenced. A chill and a silence filling the air as the ground began to freeze, warning of the impending Winter. It was early Monday afternoon, Bella was tending to the plants in the sun room when she heard the…
I think that sometimes divorces are for the best because both sides end up being happier afterwards, Bella might be happier with Don than she is with Mortimer. I'm believe she was just as happy with Mortimer before he became so consumed with work and she's not at fault for wanting something more. Like you said, happiness…
@StephKillahB Without saying too much, I agree that Bella is the one at fault here for being lustful when she is already married. It's not just Mortimer's responsibility to make the marriage work, she's not really putting in much effort either. However, I don't think she's cheating to be malicious or because she doesn't…
@Thymeless that's an amazing analogy! lol I like it. And glad you've been enjoying what you've read so far. Nothing crazy has happened yet so you're not missing anything too important.
So glad people are enjoying it and I'm loving reading your theories! I'll be working on the next chapter tomorrow, I've had driving lessons all weekend and I've been working on a build for the next part. Thanks!
Hey all, I just posted a poll regarding my story to maybe try and promote some audience interaction and discussion! You can find it on my story thread or here.
I always love seeing how people treat Newcrest differently with these legacies. I've always wanted to fill Newcrest myself but it seems so daunting. Great writing! Bookmarked!
This is such an amazing idea. It's so cool to see your history with the game. I often think about the first family I made and wish I still had them to see how I'd look at them now.

Hi everyone, I wanted to run a fun poll to see what people are thinking about the story and the characters, to promote discussion, and to celebrate reaching 1000 views. You can find it here. The outcome of the poll will not have any effects on the story.
Yeah I bet! It takes me a few hours just to do everything for one chapter. I've had to split the most recent chapter up over the past couple days because it's been like the busiest weekend ever. It's hard to get in the groove when I'm writing like 5 minutes at a time.
A Rose for Bella - Chapter 6: Halloween Night It had been about a month since Bella rescued Cassandra from Rebecca's house, albeit late, Cassandra appreciated her mother's help but felt betrayed by her insensitivity that night. In her motherly guilt, Bella spent the rest of the night nursing a sick Cassandra: holding her…
