State of the Nora
Whoops.
A simple apology. That's all I have right now. For being absent and for letting Nora stuff pile up. I don't have a lot to really say, I tend to be a private person and rarely bitch and rant. I'll keep it short and sweet!
I've been having some personal issues, I won't go into details, but let me say that those have made Second Life one of my lesser worries. On that note, don't worry - it's nothing serious, it's just extremely distracting. I've taken some time to try and figure things out on my own. I think I'm slowly coming back to normal operation as myself. Top off my personal issues with a nice big slice of "My Computer's Dying", and you can guess why my mood is less than wonderful. A new rig is on its way thanks to my extremely kind hubby.
Also, I've come to the conclusion that I really rather scale back my second Life. This all means that I really won't have time to dedicate the time it does take, to maintain a SIM. I'll be honest with you, most of anything that I make in Lindens goes toward paying for that SIM. A lot of "retailers" don't like to share their financial information regarding "how they do" in Second Life. I'm just not that much of a businesswoman.
I've determined, among other things, that I really rather go back to being a wild content creator with no pressure. Plus, I really don't need the stress of "Crap, can I make my SIM payment next month?" right now, nor do I need to make SL my job. Besides, it might be nice to go back to doing some traditional art for a while. Texture work is an amazing experience, but sometimes it makes me feel really detached from Art. I tried the SIM thing, and I admit that I pretty much don't have the motivation required to succeed at it. There's someone out there who can do far more with it, than I, I'm sure.
I have no idea when this "closure" will occur. But I do know that it is my current plan. In the meantime I'll be saving up some Lindens and scouting out a nice cozy Commercial rental plot to use for Nora's relocation. Also, Nora will of course, exist in it's present form.. and I'll be trying to handle all the IMs I've had these last, weird couple of months.
So, in short:
Thanks for understanding. See you soon.

So, in short:
- Nora BodySkins & Fashions will be closing in the near future.
- The SIM Sonata will be sold.(to who? dunno, that's another thing I have to worry about)
- I'll be relocating Nora in world some time later.
- Samantha will be released when I return.
- I'll be taking care of IMs - please be patient, things are weird for me right now.
- Nora skin tones will be consolidated somehow from 9 to possibly 5 when I return.
Thanks for understanding. See you soon.
