The Art of Sims Storytelling
Hi guys! @CathyTea and I were talking, and we thought we'd try making a thread that would be focused solely on writing, especially Sims story writing. The writers' lounge thread is great for being ...
Forum Discussion
@CathyTea I talked to her some more about it and she said that my writing was phenomenal and to not change it for her.
It's just...it's hard. I talked to the spousal person at dinner. Also he had chili and chili just really grosses me out, but he said it was good. So I was like "Is that an example of how something can still be good even if someone doesn't like it?" and he said yes.
Also, you know - I don't read comic books, because my brain just can't process them. It's not like I don't think that they can be art or that they don't have worth. It's just that my brain sees the pictures with the words in balloons and it's like "What? I do not understand." But I do get that they can be really good and that they can be significant art and that they do mean a lot to other people.
Plus she said that she couldn't connect with Seth and that he reminded her of a bad ex, and I totally got that. Because Seth is twisted and dark and yes, he's a plum towards his wife Sarah. So...you know, maybe Surreal Darkness is like that for her too, and it goes to a place that she finds uncomfortable for her own reasons that have nothing to do with me or the quality of the work.
The spousal person said that her reading level wasn't advanced enough, but I defended her. Because she is very intelligent, and he doesn't know her and he was just making assumptions based on his ideas of the average reader. But I guess he did have a point when he said that Surreal Darkness wasn't mainstream and that it wouldn't appeal to everyone - which he needs to get caught up on it. And he also needs to read my short story for the challenge.
Does anyone else have family members who read your work? It's so awesome when he reads my stuff and he notices all the little details that are "me", because he knows me better than anyone, and I will always treasure the look on his face when he read the Fire, Death, and Alone trilogy of Valley chapters all in one go and then turned to me. ;)
And I don't know how to be anything but vulnerable.
