[quote=@Rhymer] Ask yourself the [u]hard questions[/u]...why do you want to roleplay? Why do you want to write? [u]Do you want to write?[/u] Don't wait for inspiration. Writing is damn hard work and it requires paramount focus. Go for it. [/quote] I strongly agree with this. As for me, if things aren't working well or out of my accordance, music is my last resort. Whenever I listen to a really good track, my imagination becomes alive and will start framing a lot of fictitious settings and people. It doesn't actually correspond with the words I can muster from but through this alone, it helps me a ton with the whole writing process. EDIT: I get the feeling that at first you become demotivated and end up dropping out RPs. I won't deny I've tried that before but that's because I wanted to start out in a desirable approach, like I wanted to skip everything from point A and go directly to point B where all of the action are residing. Perhaps some won't admit they wanted something like that so they just leave without noticing but I later realized over the years I've spent RPing that things like these aren't the core foundation of story writing. Good stories start at a basic point and the thrill happens while it's being brought into progress. The concept alone motivated me that during the story's progress, you can see how much development has grown. Yes it's boring at some points, however once you get from point A to point B and notice the changes, I'm certain you'll be satisfied and continue until you've reached the tip of the story you've desired.
