LJ Idol Presents:

Tales From Outcast Land, late commenter edition:

I am trying to make a go of a new epic Sims story, because I need meaning and writing and now I gotta replace Idol as a source of that.

I do have to say that one upside to this is that I get to set my own deadlines (which I do still try to make them reasonable so I finish stuff and get it out into the world) and so I get to write the way I naturally do.

Which is taking eight hours to perfect one paragraph if I want, and doing lots of research, and calling the spousal person over to feel his fingerpads or what his mouth feels like on the back of my hand or what his face looks like in light from the flashlight when all the lights are off, and spending lots of time looking through synonym lists and thinking about vowel sounds and sentence rhythm.

*gives her outrageous perfectionism a giant welcome home hug*

This is fun. I'd missed truly hardcore writing. :)

Also thanks for the recs! My moral sense of needing to read everything is no longer driving me as hard since I'm not actively participating, so now recs are useful! :)
