I did that for a long time.  You gotta get into a RP that moves at your pace and keeps you interested.

I'm actually surprised I've been running my own RP for 8 months.  That's almost a whole year!  And only like 3 days have passed in-game.  Which is strange, but still!  Almost a whole year.

I've been in another RP for 11 months, which is pretty good.  Only like 4-5 days have passed in it in-game.

These RP's move at my pace.  Which is a very slow pace.  I can wait nearly a month before I post, and there's still time after that.
