- I am not struggling when I roleplay. Or I guess I should say the most interesting things happen when I'm struggling. I struggle when something happens that doesn't allow thing to progress exactly the way I envisioned. Though finding workarounds for such things is part of the fun for me. With writing longer stories (not RPing) I struggle with content. I have a good story, and I struggle with finding ways to make it longer. It always feels like I'm adding fluff that serves to weaken whatever I'm writing. This is probably why I don't write novels.

- I've been writing for a long time, and there really isn't anything that makes me feel anxious. I did stop writing for a few years, and I was wondering if I still "had it," but most if it came back pretty quickly. Some things just never leave you.

- I do not have "memory issues" but I do keep a folder filled with information I might forget. I've found myself doing that less and less, unless it's something extremely convoluted like the murder plots in my RP.

- I took a break from writing after all of my old RP buddies basically quit without saying anything. I had convinced myself for a long time that I had fallen out of love with writing. But I eventually realized I needed an outlet for my creativity that videogames and movies couldn't fill. Role playing made me rediscover my love for the hobby. 

- Best advice I can give is not to be such a perfectionist. You'll learn more writing a hundred posts than trying to write one post perfectly. You'll learn more writing a thousand stories than trying to write one perfectly. Do try your best to put out good work, but we can get caught up on the stupidest things sometimes. Once I was stuck on a single line of dialog for an hour because I couldn't make it sound quite as dramatic as I wanted to. That isn't good for anyone.
