Perhaps, I can chalk up this whole year as my greatest roleplaying failure. Since it's been the first one in a long while that's made me not want to keep trying. (A mindset that I acknowledge doesn't really help anything.)

Though I've probably written a full novella's length of content, with just all the introductions or beginning posts that have been almost entirely wasted. Due to usually unexplained reasons that I still understand wholeheartedly. But everyone else's motivation slump, has most certainly impacted my own. (With the single positive caveat, that I don't think any of them ended on bad terms.) But there's only so much a single man can hear. "Wow, your post is excellently written." from a partner that never ends up replying/posting more to it. Which feels like how half of my year was spent. 

Yet the other half is arguably worse. Since almost all of my long-term partners have also needed to take a break in recent months. So, whether it has anything to do with me or not. I don't think that it matters. Since the worst 'failure' that can happen in roleplays, are things that kill the fun in them. (And boy, has this year managed to do its damndest.)

So I suppose my biggest personal issue that I can find and work on in the future, is that my time management has gotten abysmal. But the fact that I'm posting on a spam forum page at midnight, is probably not a good step to fixing that problem. (But there's always another day?)

This may not be at least wise on my part when it comes to "quoting" but there is some things here that I can at least add on. I think this year for me is one of my greatest RP failures and it has me on not wanting to try anymore (past experiences) and even three to four years back I can put on this list as a failure also.

I never really got like positive feeback like "your post was written great!" or "Your starter is very good" [sample writing fits in the realm of it too].

Interest for me and what I like I feel is very small to like next levels of impossible [Though this year has been fucking bad]. Though I feel like my biggest personal issue is like getting into my own head and feelings with stuff and it gets very hard for me to come out or see things clearly. I don't know what to expect next year [upon me thinkin the same will happen] now it will just be like exams and holidays approaching...[shrugs]
