@Sep Hard to know what would constitute an improvement if I'm just stabbing in the dark.
@Lord Wraith Any need for me to contribute to said deliberations? I feel like it even going on this long bodes poorly lmao

I do not have much experience with this kind of RP, but I think a lot of my trouble likely stem from anxiety and self-doubt like many others do. I find whatever I write to always be a bit disappointing and demotivating wishing I could have done it better. And I always feel no matter what I do the stuff I manage to put out is dull, boring, and not very creative.
Everyone here seems to be very kind and very supportive which I think is actually helping me gain a bit of confidence and has pushed me to actually try and speak to others instead of just lurking like I would usually do (unfortunately).
I feel like I get short bursts of "oh yeah this will be good lets try this" and then when I write it out I am like "what was I thinking this sucks" haha.

This here is pretty key, because nothing is as demotivating as complete radio silence where it feels like you're firing stuff off into a void.
Shameless double post because I'm a monster. 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.
What do you think your biggest pitfall in writing is? What's the thing that kills your motivation the most often?
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.
Thank you all, I appreciate it. Will try and keep these things in mind for the future. I always feel quite shaky and unsure when it comes to doing things for the first time.
Does anyone have any advice for writing fight scenes? I found myself really struggling and needing to rewrite and rethink a few times but still in the end feeling rather unsatisfied. Feel like it is rather hard to make it flow naturally and had difficulty in thinking of what should go where or if there should be dialogue in some places or none and so on and so on...
On a different note, just so people are aware, I'll be away for the majority of next week as of Tuesday. I'll probably still be able to reply to messages, but won't be able to sit down and actually write
@Sep and @Kyoka
How should this next few posts work? I've never really done any RP's with a lot of inter-character communication, so I'm not sure if this is one of those 'do a Collab things' or 'post and wait for everyone else to post things'.
