[@Ellri] I don't even plan short stories. I've never once written something I didn't improvise on the spot. It's something I need to work on because I do wish to write another novel one day. [@ArenaSnow] In my current experience, not even close. Every single casual rp I join, I have absolutely no idea what my character's even doing to do or how they'll develop until like ten posts in. [@Gowi] I am very passionate about this hobby, but recently I've had less 100% free time (time where you're not expecting to get called away, and have nothing else on your mind that you should be doing) and less drive to commit to things. I think it's just the holidays, though. I think (hope) I'll get better after the new year, because I have wanted to try advanced for the longest time. It's been my eventual goal on this site for literally about three years now.
