Website, Slowly but Surely

I've gotten back all of my main pages, and I've put up some Sims Photo Albums, a guestbook, and three of my short stories. You do need to know some basic HTML to fiddle with the pages, but that's not a problem for me. This is actually kinda fun.
-VD: So we're up and running?-
Basically. I'm not sure how to link the photo albums to the text in my "It's My Sims" page -- they are appearing in the sidebar, so you can see them. And I'm also running into a few troubles coding links into my story files -- I made a subdirectory for them, and I'm not sure how to make links back to the parent. I found an HTML site, so I'll keep fiddling.
-D: I take it the plan is to get all the short stories up first, then start working on the chapter ones?-
Yup. I'm wondering how to do the stories -- just the way I did it the first time around, or maybe more like foxywriter and reality_bites23 do it -- have explanation pages and links to the chapters. I admit, I myself found it annoying to have to go through all the chapters to find the one I wanted. *pats Doc's hand* How are you feeling?
-D: Better. Although I'm experiencing a bit of memory loss.-
Awww, I hope it's nothing serious.
-D: *shakes head* No, I know who all of you are, and where I am, and today's Monday--
Wednesday
-D: Wednesday -- okay, I'm a having a bit of trouble with dates. I know November 5th is coming up, but I can't remember which day. I want to say Saturday.-
Friday. Close though, and you would remember it being on a Saturday.
-D: *smile* Well, I called Jean and she said it would clear up in a day or so.-
Goodie.

*frustrated* Damn it! All I need is one lousy story!
-M: Huh?-
For "Reality Check 2: Double Trouble." I'm writing it now -- I felt in the mood. However, I need a story from a California newspaper for the date May 22nd, 1997. I'm searching the L.A. Times archive, but I'm not coming up with anything. *sigh* Never pick a random date, people. Always pick something you know something happened on.
-J: This is the double sequel, isn't it?-
*nodnod* Ah well, I do have "Three Streets" to fall back on as well. And I guess I could distract myself with listing my stories again. *blush*

Grabbed Some "Writer's Digest"

I was hoping to see Kackie's with the fan fiction article, but I only found December ones. *shrug* Oh well -- I can read the tips and see about writing some original fiction as well as my BTTF stuff.
-VD2: Couldn't you put one chapter up tonight or tomorrow and save the rest for Friday?-
*thinks it over* Well, maybe. Probably not tonight, but tomorrow.
-VD2: Thanks. I just hate waiting for you between updates.-
*huggle* Well, I hope to finish "World of Light" by the end of the year -- a tad ambitious, but if I keep to typing stuff every day. . . .
-D: How'd things go with "Reality Check 2?"-
I found another May date that worked better and that I could find some stuff close to. Now that I'm past that roadblock, the story's flowing again. *grin* I love when that happens.

Sims was fairly tame. I played some Sizolad and moved in the Danamons. I wanted to play a family with a toddler, but they're just not -- clicking with me. *frown* I don't feel excited for them.
-D: Doesn't sound like a good sign for them.-
Unfortunately, no. I did notice something -- everyone loves to hold the toddler. I kept having to cancel out actions that they didn't need to do. I suppose it's a good thing that Sims are more attentive to their kids, but constantly holding the kid seems counterproductive. Plus, they're a family of four, and they're really poor at the moment. Luckily I was able to grab both parents jobs.
After Sizolad, it was off again to Hill Valley. I set the lots for Biff's house, George's house, and the Lone Pine Mall. I also made the elder McFlys -- Maggie, Seamus, and William. I kinda pulled a trick with Seamus -- I made him as Marty first, then aged him to elder and gave him the proper clothes and hair. I also made William look like an adult Marty.
-M: Hey, cool. Who's next, Grandma and Grandpa?-
Both sets, and the Baines boys. I plan to do them on November 5th -- since I'll be watching Part I, I can refresh my memory on how everyone looks.
-J: How many families do you plan to do?-
Well, you gotta remember, some of them are around for one reason -- to grow old, die, and populate Oak Park Cemetary with ghosts. I gotta do Buford and Gertrude Tannen, the Wilsons, and Needles. So at least five more.
-J: *whistles*-
Hey, Hill Valley's a populous place.
Off to do more with my website.
