When I started writing 40 weeks ago, it was intended to be a ready-made collection of writing samples in lieu of a proper portfolio. I&#8217;m looking for a job somewhere [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=victorianrose.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5272515&amp;post=293&amp;subd=victorianrose&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

To offset my disappointment, I&#8217;ve been playing with The Sims&#8482; 2 a lot more, exploring gameplay options I&#8217;ve been ignoring. It&#8217;s helping me see the game with new eyes, making [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=victorianrose.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5272515&amp;post=287&amp;subd=victorianrose&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, The Sims 3 came out last month. While I don&#8217;t have it just yet, what I&#8217;ve been reading about it has really been firing my imagination. There are many ways in which it&#8217;s supposed to blow The Sims 2 right out of the water, much how The Sims 2 blew the first Sims out [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=victorianrose.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5272515&amp;post=283&amp;subd=victorianrose&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One important rule of good story writing is to provide just enough description and detail. When there&#8217;s not enough, the picture painted for the reader is vague, blurry, ambiguous, and splotchy. When there&#8217;s too much, the reader gets bogged down and can lose sight of the story. The Speed of Dark, by Elizabeth Moon, often [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=victorianrose.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5272515&amp;post=278&amp;subd=victorianrose&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
