My many woes and drama's with creating a story i enjoy telling...

I've been having trouble recently.. I started writing a legacy, and even though there was only about one person reading it to motivate me, i feel like i just can't find the effort - or energy - to write anymore. I want a dramtic story, but i feel like i can't play it out right, or that im not doing it as i'd like to be. Im finding it sooo hard to start a dram that i'll enjoy, because whilst i feel like im never going to start the legacy up again, i don't want to delete my pics, cos there's about a chapters worth i need to upload.... And yet i think like im going to have to delete every pic in my launcher, and get a fresh start if i want to begin a story. I don't know anymore, and im feeling very OTT and meldramatic... I feel kind of - and this probably won't make sense - hazy... I dunno... i'm having difficulty in finding my creative spirit, because i feel like it's gone out, like a candle, but i don't know what inspiration i need - or want - to relight it! I feel so confused... it's probably that 'the painters are in' but i don't know - i just feel sooooo... beurghy. Buit seriously - what the foosballs am i doing telling you all about my woes and issues... i hope it's not like, a burden for you, or boring or annnoying for me to write this here - but i want to share my feelings, and i wanna keep my sim-stories a secret from my family. They wouldn't get it - or they'd think my stories are too "mature for my age". my mum thinks im some kind of 3-year-old baby, and my sister's think im a kid... If they knew how much more mature i was... well, they'd be shocked no doubt... AND i want my mum to treat me like a kid so she keeps giving my sweets... Dumb i know, but she won' give my money anymore, because she thinks i'll spend it all. Blah. Ehehe.... Sorry about offloading my troubles on you! thanks for listening... i really hope you get better soon, and don't keep having too many tests and stuff. Get well soon!!

Everybody loses inspiration every now and again. It sucks, a lot, but you just have to power through it. Or I do, anyway, or my attention gets distracted by something shiny. That's right, I have attention span issues, now everyone knows my horrible secret.

Anyway, my husband actually reads my legacy and enjoys hearing my tales of Lune drama. The rest of my family knows that I play Sims, but I've never showed them my legacy. It's private, and I have a lot of bad blood in my family, so I prefer to keep my corner of the web secret and cut off from them.

Anyway, if you ever need to bounce ideas off of someone, I'm always here to help. :)

Re: My many woes and drama's with creating a story i enjoy telling...

Thank you! i'm hoping for inspiration to strike... because, whenever it does, it nothing i can actually do in the sims - and at the moment i haven't trained the patience needed to write a REAL book... because that's what i want to do! i mean, i want to do something set in the olden days as a history -like in holes- but i can't creat what i imagine, and nobody else has created it! It's so frustrating... Or i want to set it in the futre -and it can't be done yet! i want to be able to do what comes to mind, but i can't... And it sucks. Meh - im thinking i'll just try a legacy, or a baby-challenge for now. Just something to do for fun, that can quench my thirst to release my creative side. Hehe- i just want to be able to... Well, i don't know. But i'll be back to bare my soul when im ready!

Yep I agree with Blue,I do loose inspiration some times. My family doesn't know about my legacy. Well they do my sister knows she's 20 but I don't dare let her read it.She mocks me every now and again about it when I'm writing a new story. She'd stare over my shoulder and read the line give a little snigger and then say "Oh the Brady Legacy" In a posh voice.I just ignore her and carry on. I don't really care. My brother does the same but I just ignore. I do have mates in school that know though and there fine with it. They read my legacy and give me feedback. And its nice to have a little inspiration to push you forward every now and again. But everything is good. :D
