Taking a Break

[strangetomato]

I know that I said I was going to post an update this week, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm going to be taking a break from this for a while. I'm not sure if this will just be a week or so, or more than that, but I really need to take a big step back from it all.

I apologize to everyone who is following the story. I appreciate all of your kind words and helpful feedback on what I've done so far, even if I haven't been replying properly to everything lately. I just feel really exhausted, and that's probably not something I should be feeling from writing a sim story. (I have other reasons, but I don’t really want to talk about personal issues in this journal.) I'll probably be dropping back to try to catch up on responding to those comments, here and there, but I'm not going to post anything new for a while.

So, that said, I wish you all the best. I will be back, eventually. I'm too caught up in this silly story to abandon it completely.

I'm currently up to a chapter where not much happens, but it has to be written because it leads up to all of the important stuff. And it's so boring writing it! It's been almost a month since chapter 1 part 2, and I've started other things because they sounded like fun. I understand the focusing on too much characters. It's starting to happen with my own story as well, but I will try to make it work because I have so much planned for everyone that I just want to get out there.

I would read anything by you, so whatever direction you want this to go in is fine with me. Even if your main story is just focusing on JRO, if you want you could just write short stories about the other sims that sort of intertwine with eachother occasionally. Maybe that would make it less stressful for you. I know, a lot of readers want to know more about the other residents of strangetown. But it's YOUR story and you do what you want with it. I personally am more interested in the college kids. :)

It's been pretty crappy weather here for a while. All cloudy and rainy and disgusting. I still am waiting for the actual summer weather to come myself. I think I'm also so bored because by this time I usually have a craft fair to go to already to sell my stuff, and I'm usually busy making more jewelry to replace said stuff. Not much has been sold, so I don't have anything to replace, and not many craft fairs are happening as of yet. So what do I do? Sit on the computer all day. I really need to go out, you're right.

I'd love to find outfits like that for them! ;)
