This is a short presentation and archive overview with links to previous books.If you are considering whether my stories are for you and are put off by the long chapter list, I would say. Hop on the bandwagon somewhere and try a few chapters.

It simply requires the right chemistry between you.

 Dear readers, I am finally back with a new chapter. After a longer break, I used to have a tradition of sending a summer greeting, but all of a sudden I hit inspiration, so why not jump right into the story? In the last chapter, several characters faced some life-changing changes. Not least Tusnelda and Martin struggled to deal with the grief over the lost child. This chapter may contain issues that may seem painful or disturbing, but I can assure you that neither animals nor Sims are harmed. I’m glad to be back. Chapter 91. Better daysNB: As with everyone else here, I am new to sharing links to my story on this forum. I intend to pick up exactly where I left off from EA's old Forum. I will work on the full overview along the way. |

Yay! Tusnelda and company are back! I saw your note at the end of the chapter on the blog. I'm glad you are starting to have less pain and be able to do things again. It sounds like it's been rough, but at least improving. I hope you continue feeling better.
So much going on in this chapter. It's good to get updates on some of the core characters here. Izumi and Rasmus seem to be doing well. Same for Elijah and Fatima (I love her hairstyle while they are on the date, by the way. It really flatters her face.) Elijah takes Martin's art criticism better than I expected. But I had to laugh at how all of Fatima's old roommates are showing up and making themselves at home.
I'm relieved to see Tusnelda and Martin starting to recover and move on, even though it's still not easy. And Tusnelda's fears are so heartbreaking at this point.

GlacierSnow Thank you for your comment. Things are going pretty well right now for the characters and also in terms of improving my pain. I know it was quite a big chapter. It is a problem that I would like to follow up on all the characters. Over time, it has become a considerable personal gallery. 😅 I'm collecting pictures for the next chapter and I'm afraid it won't be much shorter...although I'm doing my best to discard pictures right now. I'm glad I don't get distracted quite as much by the EA forum today as in the previous days. I know everything in this forum is so new and awesome right now, but please feel free to continue posting comments on the web page. I love to go back and see comments sometimes. It gives me a lot of inspiration.

NB: I also posted this question in the more general thread about challenges in writing: The joys and pains of writingI'm struggling with Tusnelda's Story right now. The many characters mean that the chapters will contain a lot of pictures. As readers, do you prefer that I try to split the chapters into several sections or should I just continue as I am doing? I sometimes have a hard time finding an appropriate place to split them up because I'm trying to connect the sections with a common thread. On the other hand, I fear that the massive amount of images will deter people from reading. |

MonaSolstraale I wrote some other thoughts over on the Joys and Pains thread, but I really think you should do what feels right for your story. Lots of images doesn't deter me from reading, the only consideration I think might be an issue for some people is if too many images makes the page load slowly. What you've been doing so far has been fine for me.

I've never had a problem with the way you mix the text and the images.

 I am ready again with an update of several characters in Tusnelda’s universe. One way or another, this chapter is going to be about the many faces of love. It often does. I don’t think I have much else to say, so let’s get started. Chapter 92: Two steps forward, one step back |

She's calling herself "Blue" again...oh dear!
And Don really needs to go back to Sulani.

 In the last chapter, Tusnelda and Martin managed to find some form of joint healing. Elijah made a wedding cake that didn’t quite live up to his ambitions, but still. Don is still struggling to find his identity and he and Rasmus made an important agreement. Alice became Blue, and she became a bit tipsy and met several strange people in a bar. In this chapter, time seems to stand still, but for some characters the countdown have begun. 93. The final countdown |

I just got caught up with both Chapter 92 and 93. Both really great chapters. I tried to leave a comment on Chapter 92 (tried twice), but it kept telling me that it failed. Not sure what's going on with that, so I'll just comment here.
Chapter 92 - I love how you've juxtaposed all the different relationships in this chapter. Everyone is going through such different things with different emotions.
It's concerning to see Alice starting to slide back into drinking, and (possibly? since it was off-screen) cheating on Allan again. That she's introducing herself to a guy as "Blue" seems like a very bad sign...
Masato still cracks me up. I love his "I'm a magician" explanation for his vampire puff of smoke.
It's good to see Fabio making a good friend.
Chapter 93 - Wow. This is a tense suspenseful chapter as we get closer and closer to both the pending birth and the pending wedding. I am eagerly waiting both to see Rasmus and Izumi's new arrivals and just how fabulous (I expect) Fatima is going to look as a bride. I like the scenes with Jade taking her out to relax and get ready.
Sorry I got a little behind on reading. It is really good to see you posting again. |

GlacierSnow I've looked a bit behind my WP administration to see if I can see an error or your message ended up in spam, but everything looks normal. Weird. Technicalities aside, thanks for your comment. I'm glad that chapter 93 built some kind of tension because as you know I had a lot of challenges with it compared to the previous chapter. Alice has started to build up a growing frustration that you probably have to worry about. She is romantic sim and therefore has quite a strong need for romantic attention. Allan can cope better with his tensions with meditation and physical exercise.
Masato has kind of built his own place in my story as he appears everywhere and he is also Tusnelda's colleague.
The same can be said about the black dog Sasha. I see her everywhere. As Rasmus is expecting twins, his household unfortunately has no room for a dog, even though it would make Fabio so happy. It's good he's got a good friend. We will see more of him in the future.
Personally, I'm glad I'm getting through my block. I played in Rasmus's family today, to prepare for the arrival of the twins in the story. I'm glad infants have come to the game, even if they're still babies.

I’ve been reading book 4, and I’ve caught up to chapter 93 today! Reading Tusnelda and Trix feels like a warm hug. Watching the interactions of the characters as they support each other is heartwarming. I especially liked the way Tusnelda and Martin dealt with grief, where they were a united front and always there for each other.
I’m looking forward to Elijah and Fatima’s wedding, and also hoping Izumi has a safe delivery next chapter!
