OK! Yay! I. Am. Excited.
I spent all afternoon working on my Spirit Animal post. Because I feel honored/humbled/excited/fangirly about who's nominated me, I decided that I'd write a short paragraph for each person that nominated me. It's been so rewarding, and it helps me appreciate and value and acknowledge the gifts we share with each other through our writing, and how diverse our writing is.
So, I'm coming here now still feeling that high, and then to turn to this group and feel such honor, respect, and appreciation for each of you and each of your writing... well. It is Inspiration Blue! (For you TS3ers, this is a reference to the TS4 moodlet color for inspiration--beautiful robin's egg blue! And shiny!)
My story for this group is Thirty Sims for Three Rivers. I've written 12 chapters so far. Because many of them interconnect--and they're all in the same save, so if they don't connect yet, they may in the future--it's probably best to begin from the beginning. That way, you'll know who knows whom and you might start to recognize Townies and so on.
I don't have specific feedback I'm seeking. I just want to have a group that I know is reading this so I can share enthusiasms, questions, and observations. I like to talk about Sims and stories, and I like to have people to talk with! So, I'm hoping I can talk with you!
Umm.... please feel free to take your time with reading this. I'm (at present) not writing at a rapid pace, and so maybe I'm putting out one chapter for this series a week or one every other week. My writing schedule follows the channels of my creative energy, so that could shift at any time, but for right now, it's pretty leisurely with this story.
Oh! I know what I wanted to mention! This story is actually quite traditional, I feel! There's really nothing very outre about it... so, I guess I'm the one who is a bit out of the mainstream. My writing right now is feeling pretty well mainstream to me.
