Just as a heads up the part I put in the front is going to be quite a bit longer than before. You can kinda skim through quickly, or you can just scroll down to the story, I'd prefer if you took some grasp of it though. :P

It looks like I'm finally up here in my room after a pointless loud fight ...

(and to be honest, some beating) ... with

I don't do much in the way of race for my Sims. I mean, they've got diversity, genetically and culturally, but I choose to think that the former is more just in the spirit of the game, and that particular genes didn't come from one place or another, but everything is everywhere (except elf ears, 'cause they're special ;) ); and the latter is based more on environment than ancestry

I guess I really liked the way some people were so diverse about it and good at making a variety of sims that still looked good. :P

If you really want diverse Sims, go ahead! That's just my personal philosophy on the game; no need for you to abide by it.

Just because he's a minor character doesn't mean you can't make him interesting! I mean, think of Bernadette. She's been in, and will only be in, one chapter of OL, and yet she was interesting enough for you to put her as an option for that meme. You don't have to make him appear again if it makes you bend over backwards to get him back in, but giving him a little more detail, even if it's just the guy who lives across the street, would make him, and the part of the story with him, more interesting.

I'm not the best at seeing all sides of something in a story. It's hard to know when people are going to misunderstand something when you know it so well. That's why it's important to use specific language so there's so ambiguity, or effective descriptions of the characters so we know what kind of "hit" you meant. Pictures would also help in this kind of situation.

But I can see what your saying as well -- I guess I'll find a happy medium, like Electorate -- present, but not a huge part of the story, like Kelpie.

Bernadette was a very good character -- and I guess adding a little more flavor can't hurt this early on in my writing process, and it's only giving me more options. I better find time to edit this before I get the pictures in....

I guess my problem, which interferes with alot of my life is I get lazy. Too lazy too wake up in the morning to eat breakfast, too lazy to study, too lazy too finish the story with full effort before getting bored, too lazy to edit 100%.... It's kinda pathetic and I really need to change that if I want to succeed.
