7 Random Facts about me:

1. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, many of which seem to be passing whimsies but one that always keeps coming back is writing, so I still have the dream of publishing an actual book one day.
2. I love music. Almost anything you could think of except for extreme heavy metal, don't usually have a reason to go for the "angry" music! LOL. I love everything from classical to hip hop, rock, country, pop, you name it.
3. I love dogs. Probably more than some people.
4. I have no idea what I am going to do as a career if anything in the future, once I have a chance to have no more babies at home I'd love to try something to keep me busy that I enjoy. I have tossed around many ideas and the last one was wedding planning, so in a few years we'll see how I still feel about that.
5. I laugh so hard that I have actually used the sentence, "What did I do before I was on Facebook?" on those days when it refuses to work.
6. I love my T-boy, I wish everyone who wanted kids could have them and everyone who doesn't would give them up so the ones who can't could.
7. I want to visit all 50 states eventually, already have started an album just for it, I think I am up to 11 so I have a ways to go but I would love to see something special from each one.

Everyone I follow has pretty much stopped updating but there are so many other wonderful writers out there who put a lot of effort into the simming part of it that leave me in awe.

Morris Update!

Posted another Morris update. The family is continuing to grow, never thought I'd keep it up this long but I am interested to see if I can make it to the end, would love to see the 10th generation and compare them to dear old Gabe!

Update here.

Going to try and do a small Dark Shadows photoshoot soon, going to include some shots from the past and future of the Callahans and the Davises.

Dark Shadows Finale

The last 5 parts to Dark Shadows has been posted! I'm happy yet sad this is over, I'm thrilled to have finished something but I will miss telling these two kids' story. I am going to finish the simfic50 challenge but am taking a break first, so look out for more later! I'm not sure what sim stories hold for me after I finish the challenge, I have a few planned out but I really want to focus on the stories I have to actually publish first. Thank you to each and every person who followed this story, I appreciate all the comments and support along the way!

Status Update

Just popping in to say I have 2/5 Dark Shadows parts uploaded and finished! (They are drafts so no you can't peek!) The last 3 parts are semi-short so I should get them done pretty soon.

This pic is one I took from the courthouse of my small little town, looking down at main street. I love living in a small town, never could understand why some people act like it's a bad thing. I love to travel too but there's always that feeling I get when I see those familiar mountains after going anywhere that reminds you you're almost home.

Taking a whack at selling some of my photos again, I have sold one so far, so I'm excited about exploring it more in the future. Click here to check out what I have listed!

Happy New Year!

Want to wish everyone a safe and happy new year, I will be away until after the first, so no updates until then. Here's a teaser for my legacy family, this is Callie's man, Juan Reamon, leaving her a rose after their date. Got a lot to report on that family but will have to wait until I have a few more shots.

And in bigger news, I only have 5 more parts to finish Dark Shadows! Woo Hoo! But that also means it's almost over. :(

I have decided to write and sim the last few parts back to back, so nobody will have to wait a month in between, it just would not work that way. I think I will post them maybe a couple days apart to let everyone catch up, then I will probably take a short break to play with the Morris family before continuing my simfic50. But I do have all prompts except for 2 written out, so no worries on finishing that, I'm looking forward to doing some shorter stories!

I am also working on a historical romance to try and publish, I know I'm crazy doing so many things at once, I have started selling my photos again on Etsy, so I'm stretching my creativity all over the place, bear with me! :)
