Simlit Resources Needed!

Hi lizzielilyy I think it sounds like a really good idea. I know EvilBnuuy made a really detailed block post about writing Simlit.
From the old forum I could refer to two threads I asked to be moved as I often returned to them. (1. A Quick Guide to Simlit - Sims Story FAQ and 2. WordPress. How to start for very beginners).
They probably don't make sense anymore without illustrations, but I mention them anyway, as I assume they are still searchable and you might get some ideas from there. However, they will no longer be suitable as a link.

I will also refer to our own forum thread "The joys and pains of writing" created by GlacierSnow . I take it to be a continuation of "The Art of Sims Storytelling" from the old EA Forum. It's usually a thread with a lot of comments. Maybe this thread should get its own category so it doesn't disappear between all the stories.

NB: On my own website I have a collection of a variation of Simlit that has inspired me over time. Perhaps some of them can be used as examples in an inspiration catalogue. I try to keep the page fairly updated. Delete dead links and add some new ones in between. I'm afraid they only refer to Sims4 pages. I call this page Treasury.

Thank you for the resources! Now, for the character interview, do you fill this out for every sim? Or only some parts?

I am looking forward to the lit planning document. This will be fun!

I have found these two posts to be particularly helpful to me. They aren't "how to" resources, but they are my most re-read posts for emotional support in writing when I am feeling like I am a terrible writer, or I'm dealing with writers' block, or I just need to remind myself why I'm doing this.

Manny is Just Three Toddlers in A Bathrobe by manny
This post is about imposter syndrome and how that feels specifically in the context of writing simlit. Everything that Manny says in this essay is so true and so relatable for me. And reading the heartfelt comments from other simlit writers at the end (many of whom are writers I know and deeply admire) it's obvious that a lot of others experience the same thing.

Why do you write? by Ruthanne Reid
This post is aimed at all writers, but it's absolutely still relevant for simlit writers too. It asks writers to think about the question "why do you write?" beyond the easy responses like "because I can't not write" or "because that's who I am", and really look deep for our own motivations. Because on the bad days, when we feel so anxiety-ridden or exhausted or blocked that we can't write, those kind of glib answers don't pull enough weight to get us through. She suggests a few motivations for writing as an example, but readily admits there can be many more. I find it helpful to re-read and think about when I am really struggling.

This is why I came here, you are all amazing! Thank you so much, keep them coming

Wow, wonderful resources! Thank you.
