1) Do you like to write but struggle to get started, finish or with the process itself? What motivates you to do it despite the struggle?

I can churn a post out like its nothing if I'm not busy or burnt out. If we're talking about actual book writing, I caved in quickly with that.

2) Any anxieties about what you write? What techniques help you to feel more confident?

While not really an anxiety but more me being picky, I have this subconscious pull in the back of my head to make my paragraphs equal in lines (according to my computer resolution) and don't leave dialogue at the end without fluff after it. Thankfully I've started to pull away from this, but it was something that's bugged me for ages.

Anyway: 

I often do most of my post writing within a test thread on the Guild, allowing me to save or type later without actually having to post my IC post in the thread. Having a few people roll around either stalking me or wishing to write with me has boosted my confidence. Hell, I have a loyal group for whenever I reboot one of my RPs that didn't last too long.

3) If you have memory issues (or not?), any skills or processes to not lose valuable info?

Honestly, I have had memory issues as of late, but they're rather minor and don't involve RPG. In regards to RPG, I try to keep everything I want to keep/write down in notepad files on my computer, leaving me with a ton of text files.

4) Did you ever take a break from writing for a long time? What motivated you to come back? Suggestions for someone else to get in practice?

I didn't really "leave," more so awkwardly float around until my burn out wore off. If anything like that happens, I would honestly say do something other than writing. Give yourself chance to recuperate, otherwise you'll end up hating what you write if you end up forcing yourself.

5) General suggestions for both newbies and oldies to improve their skills.

Night owl? Write early in the morning. Early bird? Write late in evening. While I hate waking up early and would rather sleep, some of my best ideas have come early in the morning.
