The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

A quick weekly simming before bed. "Quick" is pretty easy this time, as basically there hasn't been any simming this past week. It's not really surprising, with the recent burst of simming and writing. It was fun and I was happy with the results, but I suppose I need a break after that. Plus, I've been busy too, and was on the road this weekend, so there's that too.

I hope to get a little bit done next week, but I do see potential distraction in the horizon too. We'll see how it goes.

Right on time, I made my secondary goal for SimNano! This update has been a long time coming, partially because it's Full-on Plot. If it seems somehow familiar, that's because the text is a slightly edited version of this old drabble. So yeah, I suppose it's canon now.

The picture is a link, and there are both Slideshare and Scribd versions available. As always, comments are welcome anywhere if you feel so inclined. I hope you enjoy! :)

I should be heading to bed, but a quick weekly simming before I forget (again).

So, the last two weeks of my vacation flew by, and I did a lot of non-sims stuff, but I've been pretty hardworking on the sims front too. I finished playing the last household of the Lakewood rotation, and I'm more than halfway through with writing it too. I think I got to Friday night time-wise in the update, so a couple of game days left to report.

As for the Bookacy side, I've started shooting the pictures I need. I'd forgotten how slow that is, with messing around with poses and omsps and canceling unwanted actions and all that. Plus it's been so long that I'm kind of rusty too. But, I've gotten I think 7 pictures so far, so there's been progress. The update was originally going to be only around 30 pictures, but as it usually is with me, it's probably going to be longer in reality. Still probably shorter than a regular Bookacy update.

So this week I need to adjust to being back to work (it's kind of nice really otherwise, but the waking up is the hard part), and there may be some evening activity, but I do intend to do sims stuff too. I've got two weeks left in SimNano, and I think it's possible to do both goals in that time if I put in some effort. Fingers crossed for a good week!

Last week was midsummer week, so the end of the week was taken. I just got home from my parents' tonight. But, in the beginning of last week I did have some progress!

I started making some characters for the upcoming interlude, extracting a couple supporting characters while I was at it. I'm not a skilled sim maker, but I think those couple of characters I've made so far turned out quite decent.

A bunch to make still, mostly background characters. I think that's where I will continue this week. I might also start playing the next Lakewood household if I feel like it. We'll see.

Well, it's been two weeks without progress then. First I was busy as expected, and on the road visiting friends in my old hometown. Then, when I was thinking of getting a bit of progress this past weekend, I promptly caught the flu. It seems to be passing, I was at work and everything today, but yeah, I mostly did nothing in the weekend.

This is my last week of work before my summer holiday. So maybe, if I'm not super distracted by something else, the vacation could be a good time to get some progress in. Fingers crossed!

Well, a little bit of progress last week again. I managed to take a full backup, and after, I started queuing up the pictures I've taken of my newly built lots. There's currently a couple weeks worth stuff in the queue, but that's just the beginning.

So yeah, I suppose next I should continue that, plus get to making those characters. We'll see about that this week, don't know yet about energy levels and so.

Whoopsie, I forgot about weekly simming. But, I do have a bit of progress to report. I had a couple of build sessions during my long weekend, and with that, I finished (I think) the lot makeover that I had ongoing. If I haven't overlooked something, that means next I could get to making a few characters for my interlude, and then, start filming. Wow, it's been so long, we'll see if I can still do it!

So yeah, even if progress is slow, it still happens occasionally. We'll see if I might have some more time and energy this weekend or so, to try my hand at filming again. Oh yeah, and I should actually package those houses, and probably take some pictures too, to share. Well, we'll see when that happens, but eventually.

Checking in again. I was right about Easter week, I was pretty busy so progress didn't happen. I had my pre-arranging work with me on the road, but in the end I didn't do anything about it. I've also needed some distraction lately (worrying about something irl that's not my business to share), and I suppose Zelda has been working best for that.

I dunno about this week, I see some distraction ahead and stuff I should do. We'll see if I might come around to simming on the side.

I know this is getting repetitive, but no progress this week. I've been busy and distracted, so I haven't done any simming. But, I did the paperwork, so next I'll be contacting my therapist to get started. I still need to make sure everything's good with the paperwork though. I'm also on the final stretch with Zelda again, so maybe once I've gotten this therapy thing into my routine and finished Zelda, I could look into simming matters again.

Whoops, late again, but checking in. Still on my ex tempore break, currently sims are taking the back seat as I handle real life stuff and relax my head with Zelda. I've got a therapist now, so now there's some starting paperwork to do and then we can get started. Things are looking positive there, so that's nice.

So yeah, nothing much to report in simming at the moment, but we'll see how stuff goes. I'll check back in about a week.
