I was kind of disappointed in myself with part 11 for a couple various reasons, but I have to admit that I think part 12 turned out really well. When I began writing the story of "Just One", I didn't have a certain ending in mind. I wasn't sure where it was going to go. Machinima has been a great way for me to write a story I otherwise would have laid aside. I've surprised myself with where it's gone. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to have an outlet like machinima as well as others who encourage me to keep going.
Sadly, Just One is almost over. If I can fit all I want to in part 13 then I'm thinking part 14 will be an epilogue of sorts and that will be it. As of right now, I don't plan on making a second season or doing a story of Mynah. But I do have a couple ideas up my sleeve.
So with part 12 I've recieved some comments that have really flattered me and also made me smile. I've also recieved a lot concerning a certain character's hair. What can I say? It was time for him to grow up and I have to admit, as dorky as this may sound, I'm kinda falling for adult Mitch. There aren't many hairstyles I have that stay true to his original hair color, but I also think it was time for a change. Anyways...
I was on vacation this past week and as we were driving home my fam was listening to "4:12" by Switchfoot and a line caught my attention that says, "The darkness had no choice before the dawn." Although the song is playful and fun, that line made me think about the phrase more seriously. I think that if you truly love someone, you don't have a choice. You always stand and fight for love. You never consider the choice to stop. So that's where the title for part 12 came from, no choice before love. I get asked a lot if this story happened to me and although it did not in any way, Rosalie is a lot of me. I think that happens a lot with authors.
That's all from me for now...it's late here in the midwest. I'm going to keep at finishing Just One. Soon I'll be back in my last semester of college and student teaching is pretty much a time sucker so I'll probably be absent for a few months.
I love reading everything I get from others, it really means a lot to me. Thanks every single body.

Kit, you are my inspiration and my role model. Your sims series is most definitley the best there is. Every time a new part comes up I swear my heart stops beating. It always makes my day to see what's happening next! I'm so glad you take your time to make it the best and most realistic you can. I also love how no matter what your characters are wearing, no matter what their hairstyle is, I can recognize their face. That doesn't happen much. Your characters have such depth and life to them, I'll be very sad when the series ends. Adult Mitch made me cry! I cannot believe he's so old already. Ha, I sound like his mother. You do an exceptional job, and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations with us! #1 Fan, Scarlett
I am in love with your story. I am also falling for adult mitch, ha ha. I hate soap opara's but this is my own little personal soap. I am going to be so sad when it ends, but I hope it comes with a happy ending. I can't wait for part 13!
A "Just One" Fan~
This series is amazing, I am in love with it! I live in the Midwest! Did you get hit by the floods? I was pretty close! Moving on, this series is SO great you should become an author, we need you to, even in the sims 2 you make them come alive and make them look like they're real people with personalities and emotions, I wish you the best luck, and again AMAZING! I wish you much luck!
the series is terrific! very original storyline and I especially love Rosalie's character. When is part 13 coming out? I can't wait! I'm uber excited!!!
Hi Kit!
I have to agree with Scarlett in every way. I love your series so much, it IS inspirtational. Whenever I'm feeling down or upset or anything, I go right to your series and I just watch them over and over again. I love them so much. I love Mitch and Rosalie, and Mynah. You are the most talented, amazing movie maker I know. I hope you never stop doing this. Just One is my life, I wish it would never end, ever :( I know you said you didn't plan on doing anything about Mynah, but maybe think aboit it, hehe ? ^^ But seriously, I love and admire you and your work. Keep going! You're incredible, and I can't tell you enough how much I love seeing new work from you. Every single character is just so unique... you could never, EVER mix one of them up. I've cried from happiness and sadness. Each episode touches me, send chills up my spine. Just, thank you. You are amazingly talented.
Always,
Nikki
