Site is Under Construction!

Hi again, everyone! I’m sure that, after all this time, you guys thought I’d quit or fallen off the face of the planet or something; well, that isn’t the case. I had a serious case of being bored with the game, and it took a lot of effort just to get myself to write each chapter. It ceased being fun and became a chore. Now, after a much needed break, I’m back to usher in whole new generation of the Taylors. For those of you who are still sticking with me after all this time, expect a brand new chapter within the next two weeks. I’ll be getting on it as soon as I can finish cleaning out and updating the rest of the blog. See you guys soon!

Update: I’m a tad behind schedule, but I’m working on the new chapter and am aiming for it to be out shortly before Valentine’s Day.

SILC – Summer 2011

Yes, that’s right! The Taylors are the winners of the Golden Quill for Best of Genre – Legacy in the Summer 2011 cycle of SILC (the Sims International Literacy Conference)! Thank you, everyone, for making this possible, because it’s you guys, my readers, who have kept me writing and have inspired me to maintain my legacy blog for this long. I appreciate all of you for your continued interest and support and hope to keep the Taylor legacy going for quite some time. If any of you would like to see the awards ceremony that the SILC judges put together, you can check it out here.

Gen. 21 – Ameline: Chapter 7

Why did all of this have to happen? Why did I have to tear to shreds everything that I had ever held dear to me in my life–everything I’d ever cared about. My life was tumbling to ruins around me and I was powerless to stop it; I’d made my bed and now I was just going to have to lie in it. What I would do if I could just turn back the clock one week’s time and change my own actions.

Gen. 21 – Ameline: Chapter 6

As one might expect, preparing for Mom and Jake’s wedding was just the medicine the doctor ordered for our household; it even managed to drag Felicia out of her stupor. Mom had decided that she just wanted to hold a fairly small ceremony for close friends and family there in our backyard; since both her and Jake were established adults already, she didn’t want to make a big fuss out of the occasion. We were holding it on a Saturday morning, and Feli and I got up early with Mom to help her get ready.

Gen. 21 – Ameline: Chapter 5, Part 2

More excited than I had been at months, I was ready to go and pacing at the front door the next day at four-forty-five PM, and it was a good thing I was early, too, because at four-fifty-two, the doorbell rang. I sprang off the couch and yanked the door open almost before Daniel’s finger had even left the doorbell.
