The Sims 3 Legacy Challenge

Recently I have been considering completing the Sims 3 legacy challenge. I have already got my first heir and have moved her into her new home, the question is if i can keep up the game for 10 generations without using cheats.

Well i was considering that if i could do this first generation, i will start recording them in a blog, of course including the first generation, so lets see how i go with the Spencer Legacy..

Goodbye Scrapbooks

My friend came up with this really cool idea that I think needs sharing.

It is the end of our compulsary education soon, and although I am part of a very close group of seven friends, we will all be going our seperate ways. One of my friends said we should all get plain books, decorate them and the take lots of photos to fill them up with, and all write a comment for eachother.

We also all said it would be cool if we all made eachother something small that we can stick in the books, so the artists will draw pictures and i will sit for three days trying to work out what i can make everyone.

I will make sure to put up the finished product as i love to share my friends talents :)

Alex Day- Lady Godiva

I am part of something called the Nermie Army, a group of fans of the amazing Alex Day who are dedicated to watching his videos, and aim to get him into the charts.

His last album Forever Yours made it to number 4 in the UK charts, and our new project is his song Lady Godiva.

The song, which was released yesterday, currently sits at number 20, but at its best point yesterday was at number 14. A lot of people in the world are against are plan and feel that an unsigned artist shouldn't make it into the charts and that we cant do it again.

We want to show that Youtube is just as powerful as other parts of the media, and if you agree with our cause, listen to his song here:

If you like the song buy it and help us to show the world the power of the internet ;)

Writing a Book

I think writing a book is one of those things that everyone attempts at some point in their life. Not necessarily in a serious way, a book that they plan to be published and be read by thousands of people, but just something that we do for ourselves, to help us to understand the strange little ideas that we have, and see if maybe it is something we could do.

I have found that writing is not really my strong point. I mean I do enjoy writing blogs, but I wouldn’t say it is something I’m great at, or have a natural talent for. When it comes to writing a book, when I was younger I tried many times, I wrote short stories and the beginnings of so many books, but I have never had the writer’s talent, or the motivation to get further than the third chapter.

It’s not that I can’t write anymore, it’s that I lose confidence in what I am writing, and as I read it back I find it’s no longer interesting me, so how can it interest a reader. When I read the first chapter back I include description and complicated plots and shocking twists, but I struggle to keep a story interesting, which is why I stick to short pieces of writing!

The point to this blog? I have found a book plot that I really like, and that I know could make a great book so I’m going to try and stick at it and see if I can produce something I’m proud of, and I’m not really sure how but I figured it’s a story that other people could find the morel of.
