Writin'

Well I've been busy this week working on my next update.  I got the first half done over the long weekend.  Probably could have got more done, but I got distracted by an idea for a new project.  Not writing related, but it is sims related.  I downloaded Hexameter's default taxi replacements and whilst the mesh is beautiful the paint job is not so.  First time I saw it in game I wondered why on earth he had uploaded it with such appalling textures, so I spent part of Sunday working out if I could re-texture it and how I could preview the texture on the mesh.  I'm going to give it a go even though I've not re-textured anything but eyes in my life, so it should be fun.

Anyway, back to the chapter.  I'm about three quarters of the way through writing it and I'm going to try to get finished this weekend.  I'm excited and worried about how it will go down.  It is very, very plotty, I mean, everything that I have written so far is pure plot and I've changed my narrative style to suit the story better.  I hope that people like the change and stick with reading it.

I've also severely neglected playing.  I wanted to get an interlude out just after this chapter but I've not played the house I need to get it finished.  In fact of the 11 houses in my rotation I have played ... 1.  Hmm, really need to pull my finger out me thinks.

I'll keep an eye out for some Victorians this weekend!

...Eleven houses in a rotation? Gah, I feel like such a slacker. Rotation? What is this rotation of which you speak?

I still fail miserabley at rotations, so well done you for doing so well as you do!

I wouldn't worry too much about the narrative style changing, I think it happens a lot and if it works better for the chapter then that'll be fine for everyone! I mean, I still haven't settled on one distinct style and switch about even though I'm halfway through. Something just work better sometimes than ofther times when something different is needed. And we love your plot, so yay!

Good luck with the retexturing, your eyes and pretty pretty, so I'm sure it'll turn out lovely :)

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Play all the spares so they age with the main family, but ... it's a lot of work and means I'm playing the main family slower and slower. I have another rotation and a bit before it is time for Eddie to go to uni. I'm going to have to have a rethink.

BTW 40 odd slides to write and 1 cover to make. (I did the 1st cover tonight). Fingers crossed it will be done this weekend.
