Thought I would post a status update since it has been
awhile. I am slowly catching up with the stories I follow via Google Reader. I
promise to leave a footprint on each of these very soon.
Writing is coming along nicely. I set aside one story to
focus on another that took off like wildfire. Hoping to have that first draft
completed before the end of August. Studio Time is still on hiatus but it is
not permanent. We will be back. I just do not want to pin a date on that when I
am so bad with deadlines and schedules. I hope that you can be patient on that
front.
I have also made some progress on the CC front with regard
to TS2. Let me just say that size definitely matters with regard to downloads.
So far, I am at just under 20,000 files and the game loads immediately! Of
course there are no high poly files in there yet (hair, skins, clothing) but I
am going to be more selective about what I install in that area. That means if
I cannot find it to re-download or cannot distinguish it in my CC folder then I
go without and so do the characters. Everyone needs a fashion makeover right? I
have a post-it on my monitor that reminds me not to reflex-click on the
download link for every cool thing I come across.
I have a "writer blog" for non-Sims 2 posts under the
pen name Gayl Taylor (homage to my man Rafe). If you follow me here and are
interested in what is going on with my writing/future publishing progress, that
site would be a good place to go. I am all over the place socially and trying
to manage all that is not easy for a recluse! However, if you would like to
keep up with me on the writing front (and why wouldn't you?), I am at the
following social networks:
She Dreams - My
writing blog
Google + (both my gaylsmail
and gtaylor423 ID)
That is about it for now. Once I get this social network
thing under control, you should hear from me more often!
Glad to hear you've been making such great progress with the novel! Sometimes projects have to be prioritized *should probably take that advice herself*. I'll be excited for Studio Time's return, but I think I'm even more excited about your novel. It's going to be awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to second Van's thoughts. You keep writing!
ReplyDeleteVan, thank you. The novel has really taken hold of me although I miss my sims...
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that you are excited about it, that means a lot!
Beth, you know I will keep going. Thank you so much for everything!
ReplyDeleteDownloads are so hard because they can be so tempting to get, especially when done correctly. I haven't downloaded in a long time and I still go in occasionally and take out what I haven't used or have too many colors of.
ReplyDeleteWhat exciting news. I shall follow you on said sites. I already have one of your profiles on Google+. How great to be in the company of creative souls.
I agree about tempting downloads. I just went to GoS and saw the Christmas in July thread and went through withdrawals. I managed to bump the downloads count up to just under 25,000 and still no hair or clothing. But that is less than 3 gigs so that is good. I am tempted to install a lot and family and see what shakes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following Choco. I agree about the creative company.
