Going away for a while...

[strangetomato]

I said I wouldn't abandon this story, like I have with so many other projects over the years, but I'm going on hiatus, at the very least. I don't want to abandon it, and I'll still attend to the things I've committed to (like the Round Robin legacy) and my SST duties, but I probably won't be posting much else in this journal for a while.

Happy simming, everyone!

Wow. I'm just blown away by this. Thank you for the encouraging words, and I'm just pleased as all hell to see that my story has made an impression on you like that. That really makes me want to move forward and continue with it, and not just this story, but other creative pursuits as well. Thank you for that. As someone who is often plagued by hesitation and self doubt, this means a lot to me.

We're actually the same age, you know. Though you're very right about the the average age on the main Sims 2 site, I've found a lot of people in the livejournal sims community that are my age or older. It's amazing how much diversity there is, and I've also met many people who are much younger than me who just amaze me with how creative and articulate they are. I'm sure I wasn't half as keen at that age. It's quite amazing to me to be able to meet so many different people though a common interest.

You should definitely try your hand at sim story creation, and Pleasantview would be a great place to start (and no need to feel like you're stepping on toes... there are lots of people out there tackling the Maxis characters, and it's great fun). I also started on this story after I was charmed by another sim story, so it's great to see that get passed around from person to person.

Hmmm. You've really made me feel like my hiatus is going to be even shorter than it was shaping up to be. (The minute I made it "official" I was already thinking about how to break out of it. It's just my nature, I think.) I did a little picking away at the next chapter today, and maybe I'll make more of a push to get it moving forward. I've been afraid of messing up my own plot, but why should I worry about that? I'm sure I'll learn from my mistakes as I go.

Again, thank you. This really made my whole week. :)
