[s]Shameless double post because I'm a monster.[/s] Well, fucking sniped. I've got a question of the day if the GM's would indulge me. These games have a habit of burning bright and fading out, and I can't help but wonder why. [u][b]What do you think your biggest pitfall in writing is? What's the thing that kills your motivation the most often?[/b][/u] On the creative side, I think my issue is being too hard on myself. The belief in every-expanding betterment. I've come to realize in my advancing age that maybe the drive to always make something that's better than the last isn't helpful. That it's okay to make something creatively that is by all means worse than a previous project without it invalidating the growth you've had as a creator. Is this an excuse for me to feel better at some maybe mediocre posts coming to an IC near you? Who can really say. [quote=@Lord Wraith] Who are you considering to be the old guard? [/quote] Oh god. It's not me, is it?
