I love writing in Dutch, but I'm quite insecure about writing in English. Now that I have tried it for about a year with my BACC and later my name game, too, I'm trying to challenge myself by joining SimNaNo. I feel like 10,000 words should be doable, but it takes some dedication. I'm probably going to regret this later :-)

As I lost my save for this one, I'd like to change my story:

This story is very different than anything I've done, as it is 100% posed and pre-written, so to start and finish it in July would be a great feat for me! :D I hope to treat it as a fun writing exercise.
Alright, the way my month seems to be headed, I'm gonna change things lol:

Well, alright folks, time for me to toss in my own lot, huh?

:check: The Ghibli Legacy and Atalan Anthologies
:check: Bap!, I don't have one for my Anthologies as it's not a Sim Story anymore.
:check: 50,000 words, 400 pictures, 4 updates and 4 chapters --- so in total, 50,000 words, 400 pictures, and 8 "updates."
:check: So I've broken away my main source of creative writing from the Sims, but as I started it here I would like to use this month to help me keep writing and expanding my world. However, in the spirit of this being a Sims challenge, I'm also wanting to make progress on my Ghibli Sims 4 Legacy, which is where my pictures and update counts come from. My word count will come primarily from writing, expanding my world, and hopefully getting out a few structured chapters here and there.
:check: Livvie is good! :)

:pizza: A little bit about why you picked the goal you did (not required, but highly encouraged so we can support each other!): I've been in a rut writing-wise for a while now and that would put me back to what I considered "normal" once for a more plot-oriented story. Like one where I have to make poses but not for EVERY shot.

Only changes are...

Okay, my first real post since this has been started up! So cool!

:check: Bubblegum's Sweet Lips Challenge
:check: viewtopic.php?f=247&t=6493
:check: 100 photos total
:check: I've never been successful at posting challenges, and I think this goal is small enough to hit no matter what happens this month. While also having me plan out play time and organizing time to be able to finish this challenge! Main goal is to play with "follow-through," am excited to join ya'll!

Alright everyone! Blams and I have made banners for everyone so far! They look really amazing and we're going to be doing progress updates on your banners ideally every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. (That's what we have set right now but you know we're human and have lives so if it doesn't come exactly then, know that we do our best! :whome: ) Blamsart is taking on half of the banners for me, so between the two of us we can update a bit more frequently!

Fear not if you haven't signed up and you want to for 2020, the sign-ups are STILL open! And will remain open all of July! Feel free to update your own goals if you feel they don't fit anymore as well by posting in this thread. Note that if you request any goal or banner changes that they may not reflect until the next update day (the next Wednesday/Friday/Sunday). With that said, let's get this SimNaNo going!

EDIT: I realized I didn't put a post goal. :D So I added it.

:check: Story Name: Comic Summer
:check: Link: viewtopic.php?f=247&t=6404
:check: Personal Goal: 25,000 words / 500 pictures / 15 Updates
:check: A little bit about why you picked the goal: I want to get as far as I can through my Comic Summer OWBC challenge and if I continue to post every other day through July these goals should be doable, but will make me write a little more and take a few more pictures than I have been on average.
:check: Banner Name: Ciyrose is fine

Last year I did 2,000 words and 200 pictures, which for me is about 4 updates. So this year I figured I would bump it up a little and try to do 5 updates. Same story and everything!

:check: Your Personal Goal for SimNaNo (this is required for official sign ups!):
10,000 words, 100 images. I've been away for a bit and getting into something new with tangible, achievable goals sounds really exciting.

:check: A little bit about why you picked the goal you did (not required, but highly encouraged so we can support each other!):
Writing for SimNaNo is the first thing that's got me excited in a while. I finished the Landgraabacy, my TS4 legacy, earlier this year and have always wanted to complete one in TS3. Hopefully my goal and SinNaNo will put me on the path to doing that!

Original:

:check: Story Name: Megahood Wants
:check: Link to the story's Megahood Wants: (Boolprop) (Blog)
:check: Your Personal Goal for SimNaNo: I'm aiming for 25,000 words, but I'll just be happy with getting a 10,000 at the rate I get to play.
:check: A little bit about why you picked the goal you did (not required, but highly encouraged so we can support each other!): I haven't had a chance to really play consistently in months. I am hoping to get at least a post a day for the whole of July.

New: Adding in
A Small ISBI
A Small DiFT
Personal goal is changing to 50,000 or 3,000 pics.

:check: Story Name: The Lee Baby Boom
:check: Link to the story's Boolprop link: viewtopic.php?f=247&t=4107
:check: Your Personal Goal for SimNaNo: 300 pictures
:check: A little bit about why you picked the goal you did: I wasn't feeling inspired enough to sign up this year, until I got my Sims 2 game working again! Now I've got a bunch of chapters in the backlog for this family, and really need to get going to catch them up to my game. For me the blogging is all about the pictures, so that's why I decided to stick with picture count. I have about 40 pictures per chapter, and I think that I could get 200 pics pretty easily, so 300 will be more of a challenge for me.

Mildly necessary Defunded or Forgotten? changes:

- Wordcount upped to 15,000 words this month since I'm hitting well above 1,500 words a chapter.
- Image count from 200 to 250.
