I see. I just assumed it could be it, since they just stop with no explanation why when they suddenly stop, and won't resume for a few hours. But I'm no writer myself, so it's just speculation from me. :)

Writer's Block is a very painful and real thing. I have been writing most of my adult life. Actually started writing in grade school. I did go through an 8-year drought where staring at that blank page got me nothing. No ideas formed, couldn't move the story I'd been working on forward. Nada. It's painful.

I can only imagine the frustration when nothing comes to mind, and I doubt having a deadline for the whole thing helps either.

Dear little sims,

No. It really isn't safe to go outside and cloud gaze, stomp in a puddle, or talk to your garden plants while there is a thunder storm going on. That's why all the doors are locked today. It's because I love you.

"Oh, but Moooom. I don't get to have any fun …

ROFL!!! :joy:

Dear little sims...
Stop using the computer, I locked it for the children and guests, and I don't know how you still access it.

They have their evil little ways …

Dear Little Vampire Sims

So you can turn into a bat and fly. *mock applause* Good for you. However, that isn't necessary when the Sim you're interacting with is standing right behind you. Doing a 180 on your heel will do.

No, it doesn't. Am fortunately not in that position. Sometimes the best thing one can do is get away from that page, do life, and let things flow. Being a avid reader often helps, and having a sharp eye out for what is going on around you. I've even gotten ideas from simming.

As for the topic: Sims, kindly do what you're told. For once. Especially when it's something to correct your red needs meter bars.

Dear little alien scientist sim,

What is it about the "Industrial Reinforcement Beams" that you find so fascinating? You keep running off to view them every chance you get. Should I be worried?

Dear Little Sims,

Thank you for putting up with my controlling ways. I know I ask a lot of you sometimes but I really do have your best interests at heart.

I promise once you are retired I'll let you do what ever you want, within reason.

...

(No, I won't.)

Dear Little Sims,

There are 20+ of you in the lot. Stop competing with each other to take care of a single toddler, that's what the parent is for.

Dear little Jealous Sim,

Please act jealous when you ask your sim about your best friend and he tells you he’s in love with her.
