Sleep is pretty awesome.
I don’t feel like working on the two things I need to be working on right now. Oh, I do believe I’d just rather get run over by a truck. The effects of Daylight Saving Time ending are already fading, and this is only the second work morning. Bloody hell, I hate mornings. If only I lived in a world where I could always sleep through them.
I’m currently on a roll with I Woke Up LA progress. I’m up to 47 pictures now, 13 of which I did last night. That’s huge for a weeknight. Especially considering most of the shots are pretty hack-intensive. I realized last night that nearly 50% of the pictures I’ve done so far have been on Sim beds. Ridiculous much? Oh yes. I’m not sure why exactly I wrote so many conversations on beds this time, but I wouldn’t have been able to do any of the pictures without that wonderful “posing on objects” hack at Mod. How did I live without that thing before now?
Writing is nearly complete, with the exception of Charlotte and Geoffrey flashbacks and another flashback I have planned for some other characters. I’m so ready to get this chapter out there. So much of it has been sitting in my Google Docs for far too long! Currently, it’s almost 19,000 words. Massive! I hope I didn’t drag some parts on for too long. I’ve also decided to break from my current chapter structure a little bit with chapters 7 and 8. So, neither will follow the exact formula of the past: present day, New York, Charlotte’s flashback, New York, present day, LA. Woohoo for change! I’m actually ending chapter 8 with the present day scene and that will be the only present day scene in chapter 7 or 8. Can you guess why? XD
(By the way, in case you haven’t been keeping up, chapters 7 and 8 will be released at the same time, so when I say I have 130+ slides, that’s for both chapters!)
I’ve only just started reading ‘I Woke Up In LA’ (I think it’s genius, by the way) and I love it that you blog your progress, in the past I have followed other sims stories and all the good writers/photographers seem to forget about their fans, it’s refreshing to find one that doesn’t. I think once you finish the LA series I think you should consider getting published; your story-line definitely has potential.
Thanks so much, Liv! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the story and that you appreciate these updates!
Thanks for the comment!
Hey Jaclyn “I woke up in LA” is FANTASTIC!!!! I absolutely love how you STICK to the story instead of getting bored and giving up like so many other sim authors. I really think you should show “Cornflake Girl” and “I Woke Up in LA” to a television station because theses stories could be a hit! Thanks for being great.
And your updates make us all wnat to stick around for more

ps. I think that you should make Mat or Jills little sister get pregnant cause I want to see Jill and Matt 2gether 4EVA!!!
Hi fellow Jaclyn! Thanks for the comments! I’m definitely not bored of my story—and I’m very glad my readers aren’t either.
Though I do understand how other authors sometimes give up on their stories because it can be such hard work to see an idea through to the end.
Hey this is cool. I Luv I WOKE UP IN L.A. I also agree w/ “fellow Jaclyn” Matt should get preggers ’cause it would tye Jill and her together. Y ea but aI know your going to take it slow with them… DONT!!!!(If you want) KEEP UP THE GREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTT WORK!!!!!!
Ps, im working on my own sims story and im wondering how to change the ugly default wedding dress to a pretty custom. Would be much abloiged if ud help

Thanks, Farli, I hope…or ummm Jackie? You gals have the same IP. Which also happens to be the same IP as someone named Bobert who said I suck and should never write again about “freaky characters in a computer game.” >__>
I’m actually not sure about the wedding dress. For some reason, I actually thought they married in whatever you choose for their formal wear. But maybe that’s something started in one of the EPs.
OH so u have noticed my evil sister
ha
well u cant change my opinion!!!
