~The Misadventures of Sherlock Gnome~

[darthsim]

Hello everyone, so I wanted to try my hands at a story. So this story will be about Sherlock Gnome a young adult sim who wants to be a successful investigator.


Background Info:

Sherlock Gnomes is from a family of sims who suffer from misfortune, clumsiness and near fatal accidents. Sherlock lives with his elderly mother Maria and his teenage sister Elana. Sherlock has always wondered what caused his family to suffer so much, one day he decided to investigate his family's history and find the origin of their suffering. What Sherlock didn't know was that the more he searched for the truth, the more misfortune he suffered.


Expectations:

This is my first time doing a story so I really am making this up as I go along.

Without further ado here is Sherlock and his Family:

Elana, Sherlock's younger sister has experienced misfortune throughout most of her childhood. Now as a teenager Elana is worried about boys, possible careers and of course The Ivy league school Sims University!!


Finally, there's Maria Sherlock's and Elana's mother. She is a up and coming Artist who was left to raise her kids alone after Sherlock's father Michael died under **mysterious circumstances**.

This seems interesting! As someone who was written a few stories, may I suggest that you do have a direction you're working toward with your story instead of making it all up as it goes along. You can make most of it up as you go, but if you have an end point, or a few different ideas as to what could happen, you'll find that writing it is easier!

[PeregrineTook]

I agree with hearts. Having an ending point is definitely helpful. Of course, freewill being what it is, you usually get some really fun stuff going on spontaneously, so having an end point can still play and feel like making it up as you go.

Ah, I hadn't seen you'd started a story! Looks like this'll be interesting. I agree with the others about having a set goal, but I also think it's absolutely okay to change it during the writing if things change - this is coming from someone who rarely ever has a plan for endings other than a vague idea. Anyway, don't let anything deter you If you're a world class pantser who don't need no plan or end goal, don't use one

[Squirt]

I agree with the others, many con cepts have been ruined due to a lack of direction. But, above all, have fun!

Thanks everyone. And I think I have a good direction, i just hope it doesn't have to much drama.

Chapter 1: The case of Sticky fingers

After yesterday's adventure, Sherlock gnomes decide to head to the Local Law enforcement office to see if they have any cases. He ends up getting a case by his neighbor Jack Bruyce.


"Hi there I'm Jack Bruyce, I have a job for you" <-- Jack Bruyce

Sherlock--> "I'm listening, what do you need me to do"

"I have a neighbor named frank and I think he's been sticking his filthy hands where they don't belong. I need you to search his mailbox for information so that we can 'convince' him to mind his business" <-- Jack

Sherlock--> "I'll see you when It's done"


"Hmm, this is very interesting but it's not enough. I'll check the trash can too."


"This is exactly what I'm looking for. Frank, you've been very busy; oh well time to report back to Jack"


"Here's the evidence, Frank left it out in the Open" <--- Sherlock

"That was fast anyway thanks a lot, we won' be having anymore problems from Frank" <---Jack

"Case closed"

A little later...

"I should celebrate a successful investigation, I know just the way" <--Sherlock


"Woot, I did it. This is one of the happiest days of my life" <--Sherlock


"Mr. Gnomes, we saw your inappropriate conduct; you will be fined $500" <--- Officer Davidson

 Sherlock---> "Officer, I was just having a little fun"

"Fun!!!, you call running around a public park Fun; your lucky this is your first transgression, goodnight Mr. Gnomes" <--Officer Davidson
