I am back after a really busy Friday-Sunday! Ready to answer belated questions and all that jazz :lol:
1. We had a lot of great updates this week. What were some or your favorite parts of everyone's updates this week?
The amazingly hard choice between Tink and Smee! Respect for @VIRTUALEE for making choosing between two fictional characters so hard!
@Marialein's way to make a pov tell so much about a character. Armeni always seemed like some kind of mystery to me and we definitely had some more insight in his thoughts this way.
The fact that we are getting closer to the real start of @Spottydog714's bachelor challenge <3
The introduction of Ursula and her children in @swcheppes Disney legacy challenge, they are such interesting characters and promise trouble for the future!
@Maladi777 Chris breaking a nose, enough said :lol:
2. We can be our own worse critic what do you do when you get into your own head?
I delete the draft of the chapter and stop writing for that day. If I have inspiration I can write up to 5-10 chapters, if I don't I'm not going to bother myself writing a draft I'll never like and probably delete. I write for me after all, and if that means my readers have to wait a extra day I am sure they'll understand :)
3. I know a lot of us have a few stories going on, if you had to add one more story to your roster what type of story would your write? Would you stick with what you know or try something different?
I have a list of challenges I want to try, I'd probably pick one of those :lol:
4. We all get really attached to our characters how does that effect how you write them? For example did you spare someone's life because of your feelings for the sim or vice versa?
I won't cheat to spare a character, my sims can plead but a no from the grim is still a no. Avery was my worst loss, since I originally saved her in time for the birth of her grandchildren but do a glitch she didn't make it. I guess things like these challenge my in writing it my very best.
Ship however, will always stay a fight between me and my readers #Valan or #Troiantine? #Talenan? Their names don't match :cry:
@Maladi777 That's super sweet of you! <3
Shipping your own characters can be so heartbreaking if it doesn't work for your readers!
Awesome!
My process is:
-Writing the future chapters out in big lines. Exmp: Proposal Farrah&Maxime
-Going in game to screenshot them, I usually come up with dialog during that.
-If anything happens in game, tweak the story line.
-Seek out my fave photos and write (Mostly a bunch of chapters)
-Store them up in a file until it's publish-day!
-Rinse and repeat :lol:

Before I forget, I wanted to offer all members of our circle my services in banner making. If you guys need a new banner to promote your story, I'll be more than happy to help. Well, if you know someone outside our circle who needs one, they can PM me too. :smile:
@Maladi777 That's super sweet of you! <3

Yes, I make ships WAYYY to easy. I am trying to rectify that in the Bachelorette, though. And dunno, I am yet to find out if I will be able to make myself kill a character.

We are so brilliant writers who I'm sure have different processes when it comes to writing. In thought it might be fun, it being coffee hour, to share our creative process :)
