New Year's resolutions/reflections? Interesting... Let's see...

In the past year, I guess I've started working with character backstories a lot more, and now I have some recurring characters whose stories really interest me and who make me really excited to roleplay with. I think I've gotten a bit better with description, and I don't post one-liners quite as often as I used to. I still can't do anything over maybe three paragraphs, it seems, but maybe that's okay, too. Shorter posts seem to work pretty well for my style, as long as I get all the necessary details in anyway. I've also tried GMing a bit, and it's definitely tough. I have a lot of respect for the people who keep their roleplays going for months at a time. 

This year, I want to get better with description, and learn how to use my words a bit more carefully to still be able to describe a lot without boring people or confusing them. I'd also like to learn how incorporate character arcs a little more smoothly and work with the character and story arcs that other people put out there. I like when a couple of characters really seem to mesh and get things done together and still experience their own personal growth. Other than that, I think that I'd like to keep a few stories going until next year at least, too.
