Okay, Back On Schedule, Kinda

Not really on schedule as this should be a SoM week, but at least I'm back on schedule for posting Sunday's.

Although it's a week late and really short, Chapter Eighteen is up at Out of Touch, Out of Time.

Thank you everyone for reading.

Take care,

OoT, OoT is Going to be Late

Hi Everybody,

I'm sorry to say OoT, OoT is going to be late. The reason being my own sense of having to feel organized.

Recently, I wanted to put together the next part of my Steampunk simfic50 story. I knew exactly what picture I wanted, but after spending the better part of an hour going through the pose boxes (yes I even went online to find the box and the picture) I was ready to pull my hair out. I found the picture online, but there wasn't a picture of the box itself, and the name online for the box was not the same name as listed in the catalog. See where I'm going, and just my luck, it was the last box I tried.

This is the pose, I knew it was perfect, I didn't want to settle for anything else, damnit.

So, I've started my own picture catalog. Meet Eharael and Arura Moonwind:


They're my models for this project. I'm photographing every pose with every box. Taking them to Photoshop and putting the name of the box and the name of the pose on each. Then, I'm sorting them into individual folders called: Sit, Stand, Lie, Kneel, Weapons and Couples. As I take the pictures, I'm learning exactly what's available (for me it's like writing something down, once written, I remember it better) and I'm getting ideas along the way.

It's long and tedious, but actually I like it, too, and as I plan on doing this for sometime to come using the Sims 2 despite the fact I'll be getting Sims 3 to use only as a play neighborhood, I think it's a very valuable step for me right now.

So, I'm sorry to delay on OoT, OoT just as it's picking up, but I really think all my stories are going to benefit from this brief pause in updating them.

Once more, I want to thank everyone for taking time to read, comment and follow my stories. You're appreciated beyond words.

Take care,
Lachesis

Why Did I Choose Forests?!

Welcome March! Hurray spring starts this month!

Okay, I've decided as of today that photographing among a ton of trees is insane. Just once, I'd love to grab something besides a tree! Especially since I like to use the willows because they have a big trunk, cover a lot of area. Yeow! Oh well, I am the one who came up with the Forests of Acantha. :D

New character today in SoM The Undesirable Stop.

A picture I loved, but just could not make work. :(

And something that just didn't work quite the way I intended. :p

Thank you everyone for reading!
Take care,

Quick Note

Hey, just popping in quickly to pass this on. I had some extra time today, and my brain took this strange turn because I was trying to figure out some new places for the SoM gang to go in Guardian's Key. Anyway, here is the map I came up with. It's not final by any means, as time and the story progresses things will be added, and maybe even changed to suit.

To see the map better, there's a clickable version at the bottom of the homepage of SoM. :D
