Writing With: Ghoul Scouts

Ghoul Scouts is a long-time Mibbian who specializes in dramatic and romantic stories. She’s here to tell us a bit more about two of her stories: You’re Beautiful and The Heart of the Night.

You’re Beauiful

You’re Beautiful is romance story meant to give the readers those warm, fuzzy feelings. Erin was originally inspired to write it from “a post on Pinterest that introduced the initial plot line. I thought it would be fun to write it out and put my own twist on it”.

The short story contains two characters – Sarah and Darren, and their coincidental meeting during Sarah’s daily coffee run. When asked about her favourite character, Erin says, “My favorite character is Darren. He is so sweet and a smooth romantic.” His personality shines throughout the story all the way to the end, which Erin says was her favourite part to write, “I just got the warm and fuzzies doing it, and I'm a sucker for happy endings.”

Though this story is a completed one-shot, Erin hints that her readers may have something to look forward to in the future, stating, “If I get enough ideas/inspiration I might turn it into a dramatic chaptered story.” So, if you loved this story you could be getting more in the future, so keep an eye out!

The Heart of the Night

The Heart of the Night is a drama story that is just starting, with Erin’s promise of “a lot of drama, a lot of surprises, and a lot of heartache” to come. When asked how she came up with the plot, Erin credits Sims 4, saying, “I was playing the Sims 4 Vampires pack for the first time. A romance brewed between a sim who was a mother of two and married, and a vampire sim that was new in the game. I figure it would make a great story!”

Though the story is just getting started, we’ve had the chance to meet three characters: Mandy and Dylan, who are married with two kids, and Sophia, a mysterious diner waitress that serves the couple one date night and catches Mandy’s attention. The author states that, “Right now, my favorite character is Sophia. I have her set up as such a mysterious character, and it's a lot of fun to describe her as a character.”

When asked about her favourite part of writing the story, Erin says, “My favorite part of The Heart of the Night is brewing up the drama in this story.” So, if you’re looking for a drama with some supernatural elements, this story might be for you.

In describing herself, Erin says she’s a social Mibbian – “I love interacting with other members on this site, and being really active in the blog section and the forums.” She has been around for almost 8 years, and says that her favourite part of the site are the people. “Everyone on here is super talented, beautiful, and lovely people to talk to.”
