strangetomatoDid you know that today is Delurking Day out there in the blogosphere?
That's right. So, let this be an invitation to anyone who'd like to introduce themselves and say hi. You know I'd love to hear from you. No pressure, of course, but you may as well delurk on Delurking Day, right? Come one, come all. Get a conversation started. I'm all ears.
This was a great day for me. I made some real progress on the next update, and there was RL good news all over the place. I was asked to interview for a job that had over 50 applicants and was pleasantly surprised to be offered another job that will stretch my experience significantly. I was also asked to be a bridesmaid in my "brother"s wedding this summer (actually a cousin, but we grew up together like siblings). I'd fully expect to win the lottery too, but I don't actually ever buy tickets.
Now, I should go out there and delurk too, shouldn't I?

Date: 2009-01-13 12:39 pm (UTC)Thank you for reading the story so far, and for all the kind words. I was pretty unfamiliar with the backstories of Strangetown when I first read sim stories about it, and it really piqued my interest, so then I went into the game to dig up the backstories. It was a lot of fun. Trying to make a coherent story from it can be difficult at times, but I'm enjoying the attempt.
It's great to hear that you've been working on your own stories. I really enjoy the sim story format, because it stretches you to think about both text and images, like in graphic fiction. I agree with you about the fatigue too. I've lost a lot of my momentum, compared to when I started, but I hope to keep it going until I get out what I want to get (at the very least, there's one good gag I need to get out of my system, and it happens later, so that's my goal).
Thank you. :) That's so nice of you to say. I'll have to try to live up to those words.
