WIP~Karrick, other ramblings

Okay, this as good a place as any to post this. Especially considering that I rarely write in here anymore so hopefully no one else remembers it!(Even if they do this will make no sense so don't bother trying to decipher! LOL!) My sis said that I need to write my thoughts down when doing chapters for RG( I think she said this so I could put out more chapters! LOL!!) but I never really have any set idea for writing when I do any of my stories. I have the beginnings and the endings but that's about all. Anywho...for the upcoming chapter(probablyin two or three weeks since I have to build) it'll be about Karrick's past. Considering that's where his spirit is now residing. About three hundred years in the past to be exact. Now...what are some of the things that I want to be in upcoming chapters?

• I want to introduce Karrick as he was before he landed on Earth. Just who is Karrick K'tari and how was he?
• Input some of the R'ouglian history as well. I have to tie this in because the history will be brought into the future when he finally realizes who is his hearts mate.
• How do I introduce Karrick's baggage? I don't want to thow so much into one chapter nor do I want to make this three or four chapters. Maybe 2?
  
• And do I want to reveal who his hearts mate is now or wait when I do the jump for the next generation?
• Set building! Can I just say that I am not the best at that sort of thing but I can see R'ougla in my mind. I always could. Now if I could just get a little of that to show in the game I'll be happy. My downloads folder hates me but ah well!
  
• Speaking of the jump...I already spoke to my sister about this(she's sorta, kinda my editor(she just doesn't know it)) and I kinda know what I want to do but I need to ask my readers which way they think would be simpler for them(also new readers as well. I don't want them to feel overwhelmed if they happen to stumble across RG and see eighty plus chapters. Ugh!)
• And I know there will be a few deaths at the end of the first generation of this story. Now, do I want to do a clean break or have some characters lingering? I hate the whole dragging out a plot thing for years! That's why I hate soaps. And if I wanted total drama I'd turn on the news! HOWEVER, there's never really clean breaks and my sis said I have a tendency to be realistic with the stories so I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Hrmm...yeah, that might work.
  

Added some pose box pictures to the picture blog. I got tired of having all those pose boxes in my game and never using them! Now instead of having to search all over the place for pictures and such they'll all be in one place. And since I play in window's mode I can just pop over and check it out! YAY!!

Link is here

Sooooo....I started another blog which can be found here. It's just pictures and things that don't fit anywhere in my stories and/or pictures of the 'Play Family' as I call them. They're the ones I play test houses that Simcere needs tested to make everything is alright. That reminds me:

1)Doors in upstairs bathroom need to be moved. When a Sim sits on the toilet they're half in and out the door.

That's pretty much the only thing I've found with this house! It's freaking amazing. A wonderful beach house! It's HUGE so it makes it perfect for large families!

Anyways, I digress! I'm getting tired of using pose boxes! Seriously! I spend more time setting up poses than anything nowadays which sucks but I NEED the pose boxes! LOL! It's a love/hate thing going on here. I can't be the only one who feels that way can I? Man, I should probably get some sleep but I don't have to go to work until later tonight soooo...


That's my girl Cherie's Jayden. He can be found here in her story and he's going to appear in about two chapters in mine. I'm so glad she let me borrow him. Which reminds me she never told me who she wanted me to package for her!! *slaps forehead*

Also, I'm not sure about that lighting mod yet...sometimes I love it, other times I'm like *shrug*

Alright, I think I'm going to head to bed! Oh wait...one more photo just cause I can!

Rest in Peace Velveteen. I still miss you.

*edited to add: THAT(points upward) is why I couldn't use this blog for photos. It does that word squish the text to the side thing! Blah! No one reads this anyway LOL!

Edited part II: I'm thinking about doing the photo shoot for the simgenix community on the LJ but I'm such a punk when it comes to showing my stuff. It took me FOREVER to get up the nerve to post my story and I lurk like everywhere. *sigh* What to do, what to do, what to do? And this is why I keep a journal! So I can talk to myself without looking crazy! Bwahaha!!

Why do I never post in this? Huh! Anyways, I'm chillin here at work and I was thinking...it always amazes me what goes on behind the scenes here that never ends up in the paper. Like for instance when that soldier barricaded himself in his house with all kinds of guns and had to be talked out. Everything went fine but at the same time...there was a sniper on the roof of the next house just in case he came out acting crazy. Did that end up in the paper? No because it happened without incident and newspapers are all about sensationalism right?

What about the time the guy shot himself right in front of his friend and had to be airlifted to the hospital. Did that make the paper? Nope, because the guy sucked at sucide and he's going to pull through. He'll probably be a vegetable but he'll be alive so no story there.

Which brings me to my point. When did newspapers become tabolids? Don't get me wrong. I love a good gossip fest as much as the next person!(Hello, I have People.com bookmarked!) But newspapers are supposed to be about things that are going on in your city/town/hood...not what's happening three thousand miles away with the latest award show. *sigh*

Maybe I'm just getting tired of everything being soooo...geared toward celebrities and what not! I'm tired about hearing about that stupid lady who had eight kids. I'm tired of hearing about Chris Brown and Rhianna, I'm tired of hearing about what Mrs. Obama is wearing(and that woman can dress)...I just want some NEWS!!!

*end rant...

So how y'all doing?!:P
