The one year challenge

Haven't played ACNL for literal months now but I'm dying to get back into it. I think this challenge is a good incentive for me to start.
I came up with a good town name and was restarting for over an hour today to get a good map and I found one but I'm already feeling like I have to restart again.
Does anyone have any advice for getting a map and sticking to it without feeling like I have to restart?
 
Today in Navidson:

-Gracie finally appeared, and I passed her first fashion check: basic.
-paid off all my mules' 10k debts
-still no blue roses

One of my characters has a house behind the Town Hall, and I decided to make it Isabelle's home.

Here's my town map now:

Imgur won't let me upload any pictures, so none today. However, I found on that Slyvia is going to be moving into my town. Looking forward to that.
 
Finally cataloged all the stuff lying next to my house.

Today it's time to take an axe to all the trees in town ;)

Welcome to the challenge! I would suggest trying not to be too picky. Make a list of qualities you'd like your town to have but don't get bogged down if one or two things don't meet your criteria. For example, my town had a center plaza and only one pound which I really wanted. However my town fruit was peaches which I wasn't so keen on. But I stuck with it anyways and I'm glad I did because now I really like peaches. Also don't stress too much about the starting villagers, if you don't like them you can always move them out or you may be surprised and grow to like them. I don't know if that's any help to you? But yeah good luck! :)

I've sold my 3ds, so I guess it's over now.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that... Why did you sell it?

Thank you for your advice! One of my dealbreakers was having retail close to the beach for bug selling, but I ended up with a town that has retail in the middle but I love everything else about it. It's not perfect but I feel really happy with it, more happy than my previous one. So I started the challenge on March 1st 2015, here's to a good year! :)

No problem! I'm happy to help! Aw that's great, I'm looking forward to seeing your towns progression throughout the year! :)
 
So I just made 7mil on the turnips I bought this morning! Lovely 6mil profit <3 Hello house expansion! :D

Oh and I just remembered! I can sit on the tree in the plaza now! :)
 
It's Stinky >.> My 9th villager will be Merry, though! She's pretty cute I think. Now I will have 2 peppy cats xD
 
Hmm, since that not plot resetting while developing a town is too much. I should get all my dreamies for my OYC town first, then do it.

And what happened to the OYC masterpost?

It's still there. But the people who can edit it aren't active on this thread anymore. Hya and Tricki both lost their towns :( And I don't know about Eva but I haven't seen here on here in a long time :(

So I see, good thing its still around.
 
Started my second day in Asteria (technically still my 1st since I started it past midnight), I did a lot of fishing and work for my museum and worked on my development permit.

Still a little hesitant as to whether I should've named my town Scherie (my favourite place in Homer's Odyssey) or stick with Asteria after the greek goddess of the stars. It's bugging me a bit.
 
Today in Navidson:

-Success! The Police Station PWP was finally suggested; I went with modern.
-No blue roses still, but I did get a black and pink rose from another area.
