Okay so I am currently in the process of uploading the first chapter of the new Tomb Raider story, the screen is loading in the background so I thought I'd write to let you know that. Anyway the internet is being REALLY slow today....don't know what it's problem is! Does anyone else find that it takes forever to upload screenshots? I think it's just me because it is being exceptionally slow. Anyhoo be right back need to upload the next 5 screenshots.

So I don't know if it's because I haven't done much story writing of late, but this chapter has taken me AGES to do. It's easily 10 hours of pure work, which isn't counting the time it took to write beforehand.

Woo! Last screenshot to edit and then I can publish!! Oh wait....no second last damn!

Nearing the end of the uploading process! Just have to fix up the front cover image and then I shall PUBLISH!! Mwuhahahaaa! and then I'll go to bed :)

In the final processes of uploading the story....just have to think of what to write on the front page! and my mind is a total blank.....I'll think of something to write after a proof read.

I think this is where perfectionism has its downfall. You know everything looks great but it takes AGES to do. Just finished proof reading and....I've re-worded sooo many things! and still not really happy with some of the screenshot editing.

Yeah I'll take this moment to apologize in advance if you read chapter one and it's not very long. Because it's only 19 screenshots. Which is kind of a slap in the face, I spend all this time on it and it's only 19 screenshots! BUT oh well no....chapter two is probably going to be the same length as well. Ah ha! Chapter 3 is going to be nice and long for you!

Okay just finished writing on the title page and I'm started to get....exhaustion delirious....I don't know I'm really tired....been working all night it is REALLY 8:46AM and I'm glad I have absolutely nothing on today so I can get a couple of hours sleep.

AHAHAAAAHAHAA!! I just hitted the submit button! So the first chapter has been submitted!! Wooo! So it should be published very soon! and you know what I just realised? I haven't submitted ANYTHING in over a year! Last date I submitted was 25-10-10!! Well I'm back now and won't be going anywhere for a long time!

Oh yeah! The new chapter of Tomb Raider I just submitted is going to be my 100th story published!! Well not really but my stories page thinks it is. I technically have 102, but because I stupidly clicked the edit button on my very first two stories it changed them from 'approved' to 'edited' and if I submit them again they'll be out of place....so that's why I haven't. I probably should though my first story was somewhat amusing, and it's nice to look back on.

Oh speaking of looking back on, I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to make an old story I wrote when I was 7 or something into a sims story AND then I actually did. But then I had to reinstall the game and I thought I lost all those stories, turns out if you copy your neighbourhoods folder it not only saves simmies but it also saves stories. So I do have that story all made up but I don't know if it's really worth submitting it or not.

Anyway I don't know what I'm still doing writing in this blog....really tired and I submitted my story ages ago. It's now 8:58AM and the cat is fast asleep on my lap.....he looks so happy and peaceful. Although he doesn't enjoy the sound of typing very much so I have to substitute typing fast for typing quietly......ah jeez the things we do for our pets.

Oh! See I knew there was something else! The Sims 3 arrived in the mail on Monday!! Installed it last night.....or the night before. Haven't played it yet though. I mean I've played it before when it first came out I had a pre-order but I returned it shortly after installing it on my computer. Haha the guy behind the counter was so shocked. But I really don't like the sims 3! I don't know maybe I'll change my mind after I make some pretty sims and good stories with it.

Anyway it's 9:06AM it takes so long typing quietly! Stupid cat! Ah woops woke him up.....now he's giving me sleepy daggers.......and now he's back asleep. Well I'm about to go to sleep too, so I hope you enjoy my new Tomb Raider story.

Adios xox
