Di's Victorian Vexes

Chapter 24.5:  11/14 sections written totalling 108 slides.

Chapter 25: 2/4 sections written totalling 17 slides.

So I didn't finish it, but that's ok.  I have more written than I would have if I hadn't participated which is good.

It's also made me realise the past week or so that I'm starting to feel completely overwhelmed with my story, my lack of talent and this community.  I've gone into full organise everything mode the last couple of days and I also don't want to talk to anyone, both on line and in real life.  This is my cue to step back, take a break from everything and get my head on straight.

So I'm going to disappear for a bit.  Probably not for long, but I need to sort myself out so that I can avoid becoming ill again.  I'll get round to answering the comments on my last post when I'm feeling better.  So take care and I'll see you all soon.  I'll be back before you know it.

Hi guys, just popping in with a few notices for you.

First up, Boolprop in its current form is closing. Rhea explains all here, and it looks like she is going to make a new forum, on a free forums site. If you have anything there you want to keep, go and back it up. Since it's closing, I'm not going to do comment responses over there now. Instead, I've saved all your comments, and I'm going to do something with them on the new forum, when it's up and running. So you will all get responses from me, just not there, and probably not for a little while.

Second of all, this is something I've hinted at, but not officially said. Well, now I'm making it official. My legacy is on hiatus while I deal with rebuilding the neighbourhood and making things awesome there. I don't know how long this will take, so I can't say when I'll get back to playing or writing, but I'm not giving up on the family at all. The main problem, and why I'm rebuilding and putting the story on hold now, is that the best place for me to transfer everyone to the new hood, is when Bertie graduates and moves home, before any of generation 6 are born. Well, that's also when the plot explodes for generation 5, and to be quite honest with you all, if I leave the end of chapter 24 where I'm planning to, and then take four, five, or even six plus months to rebuild and update again, you will all hunt me down with pitchforks and flaming torches. So, what I'd like to do, is get the last part of chapter 24, and the first part of chapter 25 out within a short time of each other. In order to do that, I need the new hood ready to go as soon as I've finished playing my next rotation.

Notice the third, my rebuild is currently on hiatus too. December is turning out to be a busy month for me, and my computer time in the evenings is going to be used for other projects for the forseeable future. Given how lacking my inspiration with decorating has been this week, this break from it might turn out to be a good thing. Well, one can hope.
