A while ago a friend of mine, who I guess is kind of my proofreader and general soundboard, read through the update and found herself a little confused initially when beginning each section. So I was wondering how many of you find yourself in the same boat, and if it should be changed to something clearer.

For example, George R. R. Martin breaks up chapters in Game of Thrones (for those who haven't read the series) by character perspective, with their name as the header. Would this interest you guys?

Is anyone else getting bombarded with spam comments lately? Holy hell, this is ridiculous.

Just wanted to let you know I'm taking a hiatus of sorts. I'm second guessing some of the update and it's probably why I've had little interest in working on scenes in a while. I've also committed to something that is going to take up a bunch of time and I really need to have it done for a certain date. Like usual I may have bit off more than I can chew.

Rest assured that I am not quitting.

Is anyone on my friends list good at making attractive but unique male sims? Particularly older, like 50ish? I need to create a bartender but he's not coming out well at all. He's one of those extremely nice types, the kind who treats everyone he meets as though they are family, and when you look at him you just know he's a really sweet, gentle man. I see him with glasses, graying blonde or light brown hair, and crows feet. When I tried to make him he just looked... wrong. More rough than old, you know? It's really irritating me that this is slowing me down. Hell, I'm not even entirely happy with Sloane's new african american friend. He seems rather plain, like something is missing. Poor Keith.

Now if I can just settle on Arlo's damn studio space...

( And while I have you... )

FINALLY, I am finished writing. Now to slave over building, decorating and shooting pics. It'll be a while, though. This beast spans three parts and 45 pages.
