Dreamer's Sanctuary

Sorry it’s been a minute since my last update.  After managing to avoid it for more than two years, I finally came down with Covid last week.  What a fun way to start my summer vacation! Thankfully, I only had mild cold symptoms for a couple of days and then felt fine. Very grateful for vaccines!

I should have gotten a lot written while I was in isolation, but instead, I decided to download The Sims (4) and start playing that for the first time in at least a decade.  Turns out, that game is just as addicting in my thirties as it was in my teens.  I started the same way I often did in my teens, too, by creating the BSB and building a mansion for them to live in together, LOL.  As a grown woman, I have moved past my teenybopper fantasy of marrying one of them and did not make myself as a Sim this time.  Instead, I’ve been putting my various fanfic original characters into the game.  Of course, one of the first characters I created was Claire from Broken, with the end goal of having her happily married to Nick.  They are just getting to know each other now.  She got the stomach flu the other day and gave it to him, so they were both nauseous and throwing up all the time – just like in Broken! LOL  I may have to post some screenshots sometime because I also built the Gravel Funeral Home from A Heart That Isn’t Mine in all its twisted glory, and it’s kind of amazing.

Anyway, I didn’t write much while I was obsessively playing The Sims for ten hours a day, but I did manage to keep my daily writing streak alive and have gotten back on track with writing more than a sentence a day the last two days.  My streak is up to 140 days now!  The last one ended at 148 days, so I’m close to breaking my record.  I thought I would be done with this story before I made it to 150 days, but since I have slowed down so much, that’s not going to happen.  But I do have an update for you today!  Chapter 43 of My Brother’s Keeper is up.  I intend to find a better balance between my creative hobbies and get back to more regular updates this summer.  Thanks for reading!

Sorry it’s been so long, but My Brother’s Keeper has been updated with Chapter 42!  It may not seem like it yet, but this story is starting to wind down.  I’m working on Chapter 45 right now and still on track to finish in fifty.  I’m also still planning for a sequel.  I even made a banner for it this weekend – that’s how you know I’m serious about it! LOL

I hope you enjoy the new chapter and are looking forward to the sequel.  Any feedback is appreciated!

Sorry for the delay, but the last part of Episode 14: “In the Wink of an Eye” is up!  This is the last episode we’ve finished writing.  The next one is outlined but far from being finished, so it might be a while before the next 00Carter update.  We’re not sure if anyone else is actually looking forward to it, but if you are, we’d love to hear from you!  Feedback is so motivating.  Thanks for reading!

I got a lot written on My Brother’s Keeper this past weekend, so you can expect an update on that soon!

Part 5 of  00Carter Episode 14: “In the Wink of an Eye” has been posted.  We’ll be back next week with the last part of this episode!

I’m a day late, but yesterday was the anniversary of Dreamer’s Sanctuary’s creation!  Twenty-two years!  I pride myself on having one of the longest-running BSB fanfic websites that is still being updated, and I appreciate everyone who visits it, whether you’ve been around since 2000 or just discovered it recently.  Thanks for coming here and reading my stories!  Your feedback helps keep writing fanfic fun for me.

My Brother’s Keeper has been updated with Chapter 41, and it’s also Kevin’s anniversary in the story!  April tends to be a busy month for me, so my writing has slowed down lately, but I’ve managed to maintain the daily writing streak I’ve had going since February.  Tomorrow will be Day 100!  I made it up to 148 days on my streak last year, but I would like to think this story will be finished before I get that far.  At the rate I’ve been writing the last few weeks, though, maybe not!

Thanks again for reading!
