Update – The Farmer Legacy

Hello Simmers and story fans! It’s just me checking in with a quick update and an informative post.

First, I have two new posts coming. The first will be Chapter Three in Generation Two, and you will NOT want to miss it! Chris is ‘massaging’ some of my storyline to clarify and polish it; I hope to have that back soon! I am shooting for a Christmastime release, but it will definitely be here before the new year settles around us. The second post will be the annual Year In Review post, and though I haven’t begun compiling data on that yet, I’m pretty optimistic I will have some impressive numbers to share with you!! Stayed tuned for both posts.

The second item of note is an approximate three week break for me. This is to prepare our home for some significant structural repairs, which will be completed around the second week of January. I have much to do, and not much time to finish packing away valuables and breakables. After a close call in August with a tiny electrical fire outside our bedroom window, and a bigger, more serious fire on the property in November, the property management here is taking more seriously the issues present in these older apartments.

Those photos were of the structure fire diagonally across from our building. Our home was never in danger, but you can bet this event was stressful for all 100 families that call this place home.

Management is being proactive with repairs going forward, which is why we are being temporarily displaced. We have issues with stress cracking and leaking windows, wet rot and mold. These issues will be repaired while we are gone. I understand they will replace our old, worn flooring in the non-carpeted areas, too. This is a good thing!!

Writing will continue actively once we are in the hotel, and then another week off to resettle everything how it was before. In reality, this shouldn’t change how often I’m publishing chapters, but I wanted y’all to be aware of why Chapter Four might be a little longer than I’d like.

Thank you ALL so much for your audience to this blog, for loving and supporting my work, and for your comments, emails, and social media follows. The Sims community rocks, and I’m so humbled.

From my families to yours… I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. May 2022 be the year all your dreams come to fruition!!

Hello Sim and romance friends!

It’s me just checking in with a quick update on the status of the Generation One/Two rewrites. I know Fran and Charlie’s story has taken all year. Many odd circumstances have dragged out the creative process, but I’m pleased to announce I’m writing full time and that things are going forward. Chapter Fifteen, Part Five is way late, and I apologize to those waiting for its release. I know I keep saying, “It’s coming soon,” but once you see the size of this bad boy, it will be clear why it has taken so long. It is a whopping thirty-three pages long! I can thank my editor for that, and I mean it sincerely. His guidance, encouragement, and mind-blowing edits to this chapter have made it worth the wait. I can’t wait to share it with you.

My previously ambitious, “Finish by Christmas,” schedule for concluding Gen One will extend into the new year by a few weeks and postpone Gen Two a couple of weeks. I am looking VERY forward to revisiting Destiny’s stellar singing career, her sweet, old-fashioned, but modernized love story with her soulmate, Arthur, and their three beautiful daughters—Bree, Bella, and Bianca. Be prepared for some plot twists, for some new characters to emerge, and extensive character development within the Atwood family.

Beyond Gen Two’s rewrites, I will continue to revisit old storylines and clean up grammar errors, clarify plots and expand what needs done with Generations Three and Four into the coming year. No worries, though! Danae and Andy will return to the spotlight soon with their four “Murphy Munchkins.” They continue to be my very favorite family in the saga so far, and I’m excited to see where Elyse and her boyfriend, Howie, take the storyline for Generation Six. Twins Teddy and Tessa are already six years old for the next chapter as we jump forward a few years. They made their photo debut on the front page of the blog in the Generation Five family portrait. Who thinks Teddy is a chip off the ol’ block? *raises hand*

I’m always open to questions and suggestions. Just drop me a line here, and I’ll get back to you soon! From my “families” to yours, I wish you the happiest of holiday seasons, whatever it is you celebrate, and a joyous, prosperous and healthy new year!
