I highly recommend reading The Fool and The Frog to learn about Salien’s parents and their species.

I was very much inspired by the two days in my Twitch stream where we discussed many variations of the HOT theme. Also… you have to know about these amazing pets meticulously hand painted by Pugowned.

Sunday, August 1st – first stream

I am not exactly sure when I knew I would actually streaming, but I went from no intention at all to full out planning. I’m glad I did it. So thank you everyone for your initial support as I get the feel for it all. Wish me luck on this journey

My first trial adventure was to share the plumbobber app that I so love as a way of starting off character creation. When I participated in the Plumbobber Sims challenges before it was the character that jump-started the story. Today the community helped me create this cutie patootie. She is in the gallery and you can find more about her HERE

Feel free to use this for a quick writing exercise. Above is the image I created after writing this for my writing club.

And finally, a card to send everyone away with positive thoughts.

I hope to see you again and to see more of you at future streams full of writing, creative prompts, inspiration, laughs, thoughtful mindfulness and self-love.

The initial motivation for this was as a National Park for SimMichele’s monthly challenge, but since I was late for that I decided to continue working on it and now it has become my submission for the Murkspiration #murkydaze – Summertime In Murkland
*More info about Murkland and Hamich can be found at the end.*

Find Hamich and Landfill Hill in my gallery ID Minraed.
Hamich has been around for a while too **LOOKBOOK here**, **SHORT STORY here**

I recently watched the show Behind Her Eyes, which also inspired bits of this.
