Apology and Announcement

Hey guys,

I know there have been no new posts for quite some time now. One reason is that I had huge problems with my game for quite some time after buying a new notebook. Now it's working again, more or less, but I am still scared that it will break down again, and therefore haven't played that much since this incident.

In addition, I'm having a writer's block. Writing new chapters for any of my legacies is something I'm not too fond of at the moment. Maybe this has something to do with the internship I'm doing during August, which includes a lot of teaching. Being around 15-year-olds five hours a day is astonishingly exhausting... and preparing our material and lessons is not exactly relaxing, either. 
Well, like I said, this is one reason for my lack of enthusiasm. The others are more complex and kept me in a state of not wanting to do anything for a couple of weeks. Getting better now. Maybe I should just force myself to write a new chapter, especially since I have so many pictures waiting. So please have some more patience with me, I will be back soon. Promise!

You might also have noticed that your feed has gotten a little shorter. I decided not to continue my Wishacy "Sweet as Honey" and the "Opposites Attract" Legacy and already deleted those blogs. To be honest, those were just spontaneous ideas I had, and since I like the feeling of starting something new, I rushed into this. There is no point in continuing them, because I didn't even enjoy playing. Writing the last chapters for the Wishacy was a real struggle, and as soon as I started the "Opposites" Legacy, I knew I wouldn't be happy with it. The idea might have been funny, but I didn't want to do it. Sorry that I dragged you guys into it and introduced you to something that is not going to be continued now. Now I have my DITFT and my ISBI, that's all I can take and all I want to do. Both are intriguing and new, and I am trying to get back in the game.

Keep your eyes open, it will be worth it - soon! :) Thanks for staying with me!

    1. I guess you're right...most of the post rates have been going down a lot lately. Hopefully they'll go up again soon ;)

  2. I think it's a great idea to cut down and not try to force yourself to continue legacies and blogs that aren't stimulating. I think your DITFT is something really special, and I do hope you continue to write it. I was hoping you wouldn't stop altogether because I would really miss you.

    Can you let us know who the narrators were in Sweet as Honey? That part had me really interested. The Opposites Attract legacy idea looked entertaining, but the more I think about it the more I don't think I would enjoy playing it. The characters would be in constant conflict with each other.

    I've played stupidly far ahead in Waypoint. In fact, I've been playing little else, and my husband had to ask me to stop playing so much. But I haven't felt like writing anything. It seems like it's the summer. Sigh.

    1. Well, you already figured out that they were town-bound and couldn't really change locations, unless it was close to Julie's home. Both were spirits floating around the town, Julie's ancestors. Julie didn't know they were there, and they had no idea what Julie was thinking. It was like silently looking into her world. :)

      Playing ahead is always intriguing, because I desperately want to know what is happening next! And once I started playing again, I can't really stop. By now, I have enough pictures for at least five MORE DITFT-chapters, in addition to the eight I already have planned...sigh. So I really know what you're talking about. Writing is kind of boring compared to playing at the moment..
