Update looming...

[katrisims]

So yeah. I've been working on the new chapter again, finally. And it's almost finished. I just finished making the cover, and the text is basically there. That's always the hardest part: the text. But now that's done with, almost, and I only need to proofread. That may require some pretty heavy editing this time, though. I'm having a little trouble writing Adrian right this time around. He keeps sounding like Nicole. Well anyway. If we're lucky at all, the spare update should be out this weekend.

The prospect of finally having a new update up made me feel optimistic, and I pre-sorted the next chapter yesterday. From the looks of it, I'd say that after the spare update, I'm about a double update away from the point where I'm in the game. Oh man. How does it always come to this? Well, that work is also already started, so slowly I'll start crawling towards the next regular update, too.

Currently I'm also debating whether I should play the remainder of the rotation before shooting the plottiness at Beth and Sean's. I mean, if I should grow the kiddies up to teenagers before the plot takes place and leave a few days in the rotation for the plottiness for Beth and Sean. I currently think maybe I should, but I'm not sure. I'll have to think that over. For most of the kids it doesn't really matter, as they're not part of the plot, but I haven't decided which would be better for those who are. Well, that's something to think about while I edit the chapter.

Wow. You have played so far ahead of your story. I can't make myself do that because I'm afraid of having to go back and take more pictures.

I'm glad to hear we're due for an update soon. :)

Yeah, well, I shouldn't do that either. But somehow it always goes like "I should be writing the next chapter. But what if I just played a tiny bit first? Just a sim day or two, what harm can it do?" :) So I always end up being way behind in the story. Like right now, all the main house kids are teens in my game. And in the story, Charlie, the youngest, is a toddler... *embarassed*

I can only hope I won't need any more pictures that I can't easily get. Luckily the next big plottiness is still about those two chapters away. I might start the plot in the end of the second one. But until that, it's pretty much basic legacy living.

Yes, soon. :) Today, barring any unexpected incidents. I've been proofreading and I'm nearing the end little by little. Maybe a few hours yet before I get it up.
