So.. I'm just trying to get this blog started.  Having never really blogged before, this should be a complete adventure.  I think I will also copy/link all blog posts I put on the Sims3 site, most especially since currently they're sorta hidden.  They don't even notify they've been posted to the wall, which seems silly, in my opinion.... there's so many things EA should have done on their new social system that they didn't - hopefully with time, they'll fix that.

Being that I haven't really "stretched" my creative muscles for a rather long time (beyond the normal, everyday randomness of my cluttered mind) .. this should be an interesting venture.  I used to actually write, and draw, and such.. but as I aged, I got out of the habit.  More out of a lack of time than anything else.  I still do other creative sorts of things, like crafting, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, other random crafty sorts of projects (which don't always get finished - I tend to have a LOT of great ideas but end up re-thinking or getting bored of them.)  But - it's long past time to start writing back up.  I've put a lot of thought into actually attempting to publish a book or two, but before I even do more than think about it, I have a whole lot of practice time and skill-building I'll need to do - so this is a first step in that direction.  I've needed a creative outlet for a while, and I finally decided (after reading other people's Sim challenge stories) that it's long past time I attempted it myself.  I spent a rather long time procrastinating actually setting up a blog, then more time researching different blog engines (I tend to be picky, being a former web designer and web master myself), then more time procrastinating.. you get the idea.  hehe.  😉

Soooo... enough rambling.  Here goes nothing!  Welcome to my blog!
