Sim*ple Inspiration

Back in school, I went over to my friend's house and she introduced me to a game called, "The Sims". Went on to get all the expansion packs and was excited to upgrade to the Sims 2 about ten years or so later. It's a roleplaying and a highly addictive game. But little did I know that it would start to be the inspiration to my writing.

My other friends and I were talking about Nanowrimo that will be happening in November. We write a novel of 50,000 words; technically, it doesn't have to make sense. I would tell my friends, no I'm not doing it, but I've already told them that whenever I say the word "no", someone always tends to talk to me out of it--which isn't that hard to do anyway.

Heck, I almost forgot about doing Nanowrimo this year. But then when my friends mentioned it, I knew that I had to think of something. Thankfully, I was also playing the Sims 2 at the time and got the idea to use my sims as inspiration. I was paying close enough attention that I've started an outline in time for November. Now if only I can keep it up until December--that will be the real challenge.
