Reflections
Now Playing: Mixed CD
Finishing what you start is such an easy concept to understand, but in reality, extremely difficult to execute. I have started and stopped short on almost every project I have ever undertaken. Once something becomes a bit too difficult, I walk away with an excuse churning in my head. I set out with every intention of seeing a project to completion, but either life throws me a curve ball or I sabotage myself into failure.
I have aspirations of becoming a writer, but what am I doing to actively peruse a career? Nothing, absolutely nothing that will actually get me somewhere. I am always talking about how I can break into the writing world, but "talking" isn't getting me published. I think what is holding me back is the prospect of getting rejected. What if I am not as talented as I have led myself to believe I am? Can my ego really take the hit?
Turning ones dreams into reality must be the most difficult task any person can face. One must be willing to take a leap of faith and not mind falling flat on the "pavement". I know that I do not want to make a fool of myself, but I also don't want to continue wishing I could do something. I enjoy writing...no...I love to write! I love watching my characters come alive on the page and hearing the compliments from my peers.
So, I must learn to push past the fear and take a hold of what I truly want in life or I will forever be sitting on the sidelines. My writing career is important enough to see through to the end; succeed or fail, I will never know until I try.

I know that the above paragraphs have nothing to do with the sims, but it is something that was mulling aroud in my head and I needed to get it out. As for the sims, I am planning on undertaking a new challenge, the prosperity challenge (I will add information links tomorrow) and I think it will be a lot of fun. I am still working diligently on my legacy family (the third generation was just born), so look for more updates about the Lords. Well, I think I have rambled enough for today. Have a great evening!

Legacy Challenge
Mood:  don't ask
Many people know that I have spent countless hours writing about my legacy family and I finally have a new entry.

Chapter Ten
“Father, where have you been,” I screamed into the star-filled sky.

“Tulip, what are you yelling about,” whispered my father’s voice.

“I’ve needed you and your guidance, but you haven’t been here,” I yelled, “and I demand to know where you have been!”

“Sweetheart, I am trying to move on with my afterlife and allow you to live your life.”

“I don’t want you to abandon me, though. I still want you to look out for me and help me to make the right decisions.”

“You can do that for yourself, Tulip.”

“No,” I whimpered, “I can’t. I’ve made a serious error in judgment and I don’t think there is a way to repair the damage.”

“What happened,” my father’s voice questioned.

“It is a long story.”

You can find the rest of the story at TSR or Sims 2 Center.

New Homes
Mood:  a-ok
I finally got time to officially tear apart my entire site, so I decided the homes I had available for download there, I would now upload to TSR. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to check them out.

This is my favorite home!
It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an extra, unattached attic room.

My version of a quiet, comfy log cabin.It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a pond in the back yard.

Well, that is all for right now...happy downloading!

Welcome
Mood:  silly
Well, I had built a sims 2 site and found that I just wasn't having any fun keeping it updated, so I deleted it. Now I have decided to keep a carefree blog all about my adventures with the sims.

I am still busy creating residential properties for my sim friends and a few other custom creations. (All my things can be found on TSR under the name cpowell8203...go have a look!) Otherwise, I spend most of my time writing stories about the lives of my sim families. (It still amazes me what a soap opera I can create.)

On this blog, people will a first look at what I am uploading to TSR and first "read" of my newest sim stories. I hope everyone has a great time viewing my blog!
