Make writing a novel more worthwhile?

I wouldn't *buy* it, just borrow it from the library. Or maybe just read it there.

I bet "Mrs Harry Potter" is doing quiet well.
I saw a news item about the author of the Potter stories. I didn't pay much attention, but I did hear the word 'millions', that I am sure of. Personally, I have never read any of those books, nor have I watched any of the movies, but I couldn't say exactly why. I'm just not attracted to either, for no apparent reason.

Marvin Kosh:
The whole novel writing thing is kinda half-baked anyway. Not only do you not have a working title for it while it's being written - that is unless you have the novel progress bar running, you have no idea whether you're working on a novel or not - you don't get to go and do signings if it draws a following, which for Popularity Sims is kindof the whole reason to write in the first place. You can't, for example, write a series of books, because your novels don't have a name or a theme or anything so there's no chance of your publisher calling you up to do a sequel ;-)
Of course, by the time Maxis get around to revamping these parts of the game, it'll be time to book a skiing holiday in hell :-P
I think I would like to see some kind of mood effect for Sims who are writing, even if it's not always positive. Writer's block is a frustrating thing, you know.
Oddysey:
If they put those bits in the game, considering the track record, it will be the skiing holiday in hell.
As for Harry Potter, the early ones are merely decent. Starts to pick up in the later books. Sixth book is good. I don't read much fantasy, mostly because I find it tends to get rather repetitive, but I find the Harry Potter world quite interesting.

I'm the same. I have never read them either. I have seen the films and will maybe get around to reading them for something to do (when I retire one fine day). I may have seen the same thing as you on the author. It was recent and probably some show about the release of her latest book. People were lined up for ages in the book stores here the day it came out. Funny thing is, I remember our local computer store having the same problem with the release of The Sims 2.
