I suppose I can’t blame her for not wanting the child, I probably wouldn’t either if I was in a loveless marriage. A child would only make the bonds of their marriage stronger, and maybe this is what she was afraid of. She’d be completely tied down to him lock, stock and two smoking barrels.

I so badly want to read more and more, but I have to surfice with one or two chapters a day, it sucks not being able to just continue clicking next and next and next. But at least I know I always have more to read, and I don’t have to wait for posts just yet.

I’m being terribly bad with my story actually, but I just haven’t been able to find the time. Yet I can still make time to read others, lol. Goes to show I’m simply addicted, can’t get enough of Mhalwae *need my fix, hands are shaking*.

Anyways, it’ll be interesting if she doesn’t lose the baby, wonder what her thoughts are going to be on that. Or even her thoughts if she does lose the baby. Its such a sad situation really.

I plan to develop both these characters in the future… Valeriya in particular I have big plans for her so you will have to wait and see (but not too long I hope). I hope maybe she can redeem herself a little for the vindictive, vengeful and spiteful. I loved your lists Aithne . Hehe I think most of my characters would have misunderstood in their descriptions.

Radomir: violent, misunderstood, controlling, dominating, attention-seeking, looking for some tenderness, concern for his children. . .

Valeriya: vindictive, misunderstood, vengeful, spiteful, innocent, vulnerable, caught by circumstances, inferior, fighting back in small ways . . .

Valeriya was mostly positive up until this chapter, where she garnered vindictive, vengeful, and spiteful. And Radomir just earned misunderstood, and everything after attention-seeking. I’d still hate him, but those small but still important characteristics make it so hard!

So, now I’m in present-day.

I am so addicted to reading and blogging. I spend a large portion of the day thinking about it . And comments… I’m definitely addicted to the comment drug too Lothere. I was actually just off to bed when I saw new comments so now I want to stay up and read.

oh dear I had a feeling she will try to do something to try and get rid of the child.

I like the fact that you’re trying to make some good and bad parts of each character though when you see someone like Radomir it makes you wonder where evil comes from doesn’t it?.

you know this kingdom of Mhalwae story is like a medevial soap opera where you can’t wait until the next episode comes on.

See ya

I didn’t start out to write it this way because in my head Radomir was the total bad guy, no redeeming features etc.

But I just can’t do it. As I was saying in a comment to Aithne quite a ways back (she is on her way to the present day =) I think that most people in RL at least have some good in them and it is usually circumstance that has made them the way they are. So when it comes to my sims I find it extremely difficult to write black and white characters, everyone has to have at least some bad features, and some redeeming ones. Not sure how this is going to play out but we shall see. I have to admit though, there are quite a few characters in Mhalwae whose bad points I haven’t discovered yet, Noah, Hepsie, Steen, and Gena to name some (or perhaps all… hey, they are all peasants… I wonder what that says about my view of nobility).
