This week continues my streaming like a crazy person as I try to complete Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood in one month as well as keep up with my “normal” schedule and getting my Builder Games Build done (which I will be doing regardless of whether I get through the next round or not, since I won’t know until later in the week if I did.) The scores for the second build won’t be known until Thursday. However, I do have the scores for the first challenge, and I made it through with flying colors, tying for second place!

Reminder:

I HAVE to finish Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood this month. Because of this, I will NOT be doing much in the way of posting stories on my blog. I do have a few that I want to get done if I have spare time, but.. if I don’t have the time, it just won’t happen. So, in other words, don’t expect it. I WILL be back to posting the First week of September. The first full week of September will also be a vacation from streaming for me, and the week after that will be when ESO nights with Brujj comes back, as well as my regular stream schedule, challenge writing, and work on my Save files.

This week continues my streaming like a crazy person as I try to complete Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood in one month as well as keep up with my “normal” schedule and getting my Builder Games Build done (which I will be doing regardless of whether I get through the first round or not, since I won’t know until later in the week if I did.) The scores for the first build won’t be known until Thursday, I believe, and I’ve almost gotten the second build done, so I hope to start the third build this coming week.

Reminder:

This week starts my basically streaming like a crazy person as I try to both complete Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood in one month as well as keep up with my “normal” schedule and getting my Builder Games Build done (which I will be doing regardless of whether I get through the first round or not, since I won’t know until later in the week if I did.)

Reminder:

This week, as you can see, is the beginning of the Builder’s Games schedule, which will involve a lot of building. I want to try to build on-stream for as much as possible of my Builder’s Game builds, so you all can participate in this journey. Depending on when I get eliminated from the Games – we may see the August schedule change drastically.

Again, August (in case you missed last months’ notice):

There are three major things happening in August. One and Two involve streaming… a LOT. Listed below:

One: I have found out that if I don’t finish the next game in my Assassin’s Creed playthrough by September 1st, I will never be able to play the DLC and 100% the game like I want to. So, I’ll be doing evening streams of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood all during August in an attempt to finish the game in just one month. In other words, if you’re not into games that have some violence, just avoid any evening stream that is scheduled to be Assassin’s Creed – these will ONLY be scheduled in the evenings or Sunday afternoons.
Two: I have been invited to join the Builder’s Games on instagram for season two. (#TS4BuilderGamesS2) Provided I get accepted, it starts the first week of August and runs for four weeks… so Thursdays and Fridays will be Sims building for the builder’s games, and the usual evening ESO streams may or may not be turned into Sims building streams, too. Monday and Tuesday afternoon will still be the game of the week, and Saturday will continue to be Supernatural Saturday!!
Final note on August Streaming: due to the extra streaming in August, the first full week of September I will be taking completely off of streaming. (this is the spare week I mentioned above) I’m sure it’ll be a much-needed break!

Finally, because of all the craziness happening that I just listed, I will be taking the entire month of August off of posting blog stories on here (and also doing ESO streams with hubby on Tuesdays and Saturdays). Never fear, however, they WILL be coming back in September. I have set up a rotating schedule that has me posting on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays starting in the first full week of September.

SimNaNo is still going well – as of this post I’ve got almost 14,000 words officially published (on my blog) out of my goal of 25k. (I did drop my goals to reduce my stress).

This week has some interesting changes: if you notice, I’ll be doing two games this week for Thrall Game Awards (to give me a spare week which I will explain later) – because, let’s just say.. I’ll need it. (You’ll see why below) Also, Taking two days off this week due to the concert I’m going to on Wednesday, I have no idea when I’ll be getting home, so taking the day off after it, too.

Now, August:

I will be continuing to post through the end of SimNaNo in July, then August will just be a break. I might take some time during the month off to work on the newest story, Sliding Sideways, so there may be some random posts from this, but we’ll just have to see if I actually have any free time to do this in.

SimNaNo is going amazingly well – as of this post I’ve got almost 10,000 words officially published (on my blog) out of my goal of 30k. I’m sure you’ve noticed the influx of fun catch up posts on a lot of my stories… which has me very very close to being 100% caught up on all of my post backlog (I believe there’s only one post left in that list). I will say, though, that I had planned on my new Sliding Sideways story making up a good portion of the posted stories, but I have recently come to some realizations about that story, and it may unfortunately be a little longer in coming than this month.

This week should go off without any interruptions, because the tooth is fixed… but we’ll see how that works out! 🙂

SimNaNo is off and running successfully – as of this post I’ve got 2846 words officially published (on my blog) out of my goal of 30k. Included in this total is my brand new story’s “Sliding Sideways” Prologue, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

Hopefully this week’s schedule will work without any interruptions due to tooth pain, but since I STILL haven’t gotten the stupid thing out of my mouth yet, it’s possible it could interfere – so just be aware, and watch Twitter for last minute updates.

First off, this past week was a resounding success. The stream-a-thon was hugely successful, and I made a ton of new friends and had a wonderful time! Will definitely be participating in further stream-a-thons! This week will be back to my usual schedule. I hope next week to bring back the end of Season 1 Asylum on Wednesday (by finishing up the in-progress channel point builds this Wednesday). There also may very well be an Honorable Mention stream sometime on Sunday. Also, note that July 1st I will launch the next shell challenge (#thrallshell13) called “Underwater Paradise”. (Don’t forget to read the “more” section below, I do have news about this blog as well!)
