Is It Really Me?

It’s good to see you still posting, Kymber! I keep silently looking and I eden wrote a little B&C like three months ago but I wasn’t sure if I want it up. It feels weird to keep up this little project on the NDIA blog and not decide where and if I want it to go further. But now I have a ton of late night conversations with AI to enrich it even if I don’t post at all lol
I do have Canva too and I never knew about this option till I started looking into AI and found it there. That’s why I said your should google for it because I’m not sure how to access it from there. The interface is confusing to me.
Happy week to you too!

You’re right, though I never found Canva much intuitive. I’ve used it for presentations at uni before.
I’ve seen Old Stone fragments. Never properly read it from beginning to end. I remember LWR. This one’s discontinued, I gather?
I’m fine, starting my 5th year of my psychology in October, also my last. My brother is on the job hunt, he has had a master degree in mechanical science for two weeks. I still have my Thomas and also a neighbor’s cat. I have her, Bestia (Beast), on my chest as I’m writing this. She’s very cuddly. We had two cats that started hanging around that are our neighbors’, but the other one (Piękna/ Beauty) got lost end of July and never came back.
I’ve heard about Cesare and I am so very sorry. He always was so tightly connected to this blog from the very beginning. I’m sure he’s happy editing literary works on the other side of the rainbow bridge. I hope otherwise you, Katy and the Littles are all well.

I’m sorry that you’re having laptop issues. I know some people prefer to build their own gaming PC’s instead of using laptops as the laptops can easily get overwhelmed with the game. I can’t even install TS3 on Mac now as my games on the EA app are not available, they only for Windows. Macs now only run 64-bit programs so I wouldn’t even be able to play. I hope you are able to bring back Old Stone!
Thank you. I too hope it will all go well.
I think Piękna won’t come back sadly. She was my dad’s favorite cat. He called her Nono after the vaccum cleaner from Teletubbies cause she was such a foodie lol.
Aw yeah, I loved seeing Cesare on your blog. I think he’s in peace now.
I listen to her occasionally but not as much. I was pretty disappointed in her latest music. It’s not the same anymore.

Aw, I hope you can get TS3 running. This blog has its roots in simlit and I am so glad to see you still write it. I will always have a soft spot for this genre. I began writing simlit, I think, in 2012 or so; I was just a kid but it was such a passion project always. It’s amazing that your laptop could run TS3 in such a short time. The game is known for its absolutely ridiculous loading times! I still have my old laptop from when I wrote my story. I think it could run TS3 but would probably be very slow. Anyway, it’s unused now after my brother got another one and stopped using my old one. I truly hope you get it sorted, the game is a pain in the butt, but we love it so much.
Yes, my dad has always been a dog person and it was surprising and sweet to see him have such a soft spot for a cat. It’s a shame she is lost. He said that the best cat had to go. No one in our family liked her as much as he did. Obviously, my mom, brother and I will always love Thomas the most as he is truly ours and we have had since he was a kitten in 2019. Sadly, he’s struggling with dental issues (lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis), but we put him on antibiotics twice, this year and last year, and it helped a lot. In the future he will probably need to have his teeth removed, as that’s usually the treatment.
I’m glad you still have other cats. I love cats so much and think they really brighten our lives.
It’s a common opinion shared by many fans that she seems to have lost her spark and doesn’t write lyrics that well anymore.
I haven’t made up my mind about stories. It’s not a hard no, but I think I would struggle with writing more than just short pieces without Sims. The game inspired me in many ways and helped picture things better. I have, however, many times thought about the B&C story and how it would translate. I think I could potentially write it as a proper story (especially because the characters are quite alive in my head after so many thought I gave them since the NDIA finale), but it would need work on my part. I’m rusty in my storytelling since I barely write anymore. Like I said, I did write another B&C in June, I think, and I held off posting it. It feels weird to me to still post it on my old site, especially since it was supposed to be only a couple short pieces. If you go into posts on my site, the epilogue is now the last one on the first page. If I were to post another B&C, it would completely cover up all of my simlit. So I am unsure about posting it anymore without giving it a proper site and proper story. It is not even a storyline and there are so many parts. If I were to turn it into an actual story, I would have to decide what to do about these and how to even incorporate them. I don’t really know what to do with it. The other question, would anyone even stick around to read any of my writing? Barely anyone is left of our old community, and I don’t even know how eager everyone would be to read non-simlit. Last post I did I think only Doris and socallucyfan commented, and the latter only because she was active for a couple months then. I feel like close to no one’s really tuning in anymore since it’s been so long and everyone moved on from my blog or simlit in general. Not as easy as it was when I started my blog, the TS3 site was still alive and my writing was grounded in the game. And not going to lie, writing without pictures would put a lot more focus on my writing in general, and I don’t know if I can handle it. I am not sure if it can hold up on its own. I feel like now I am older, it seems all the more stressful to put myself out there and handle the responsibility that comes with running a site, being consistent and developing plot.

So you see, it’s a difficult decision now with a lot of variables.
Happy timezones to you!
