Ok so I apologize up front but this is gonna be a bit of a rambling rant. So! I started having this problem a while ago with my ghost writer, suddenly she just started canceling the writing action, wether it was a new book or a resumed book. She would generally make a little progress before canceling the action though so I could force her through it by continually telling her to resume as soon as she canceled the action but that requires a lot of babysitting and isn't a viable long term solution. I got so frustrated with it I stopped playing that game and moved on. Recently I started a new writer this one is a caster rather than a ghost. Everything was going great, got her writing maxed out no problem tons of books published flew through several aspirations, started freelancing as a writer everything is great. No idea if it's relevant or not but today I started her on the nerd brain aspiration which apparently requires getting writers block even though it says to read three books? That's a separate issue, but anyway I looked it up and it said just give them writer's block that's the real goal. Ok so I sit her down to start writing non-stop, start queuing multiple books at a time so i can fast forward without pausing too much and that's going great for about three books. Start the fourth one and queue up the fifth and suddenly the fifth book cancels the fourth book and now both books are broken and it's exactly the same issue I had with the ghost writer. I can force her through it, but it's slow and aggravating. I found this thread and read through it, tried scrapping the book she was working on, took out all my mods, with familiar, without familiar, making sure nothing is queued before she starts a book, nothing. All genres are affected, writing a love email works fine, didn't try the book of life but being a book that can be paused and resumed I assume it would have the same issue. Tried her confident, happy, need decay disabled and enabled. Nothing seems to work. I'm on a Mac with several expansions and I'm not sure how to check the version number but I think it's whatever was most recent before yesterday (oct. 3rd).
