[quote=@The Mage][b]Rant 1: my weaknesses in roleplaying and my apparent lack of ability or motivation to fix them.[/b]
This one is pretty much self explanatory except for what I am not so good at in this hobby of mine. I've been at the level I have in terms of roleplaying for about a year and a half or so, where I'm able to post a somewhat decent reply that satisfies whom I roleplay with. The posts are usually not too long and not too short, just enough to fit into what I would describe as a half-step above Casual roleplays. And this is what dissatisfies me. I've attempted to increase my understanding of many words in the english language not commonly used in day-to-day affairs,as well as the general length of my posts to no avail. I'm constantly stuck in this little void and I can't seem to muster the motivation and the brainpower to produce a post that flows easily and explains what I want it to easily. Another problem related to this is that I am appallingly horrible at sentence structure in my own native language, to the point where I doubt myself constantly when I write papers. I want out but I just can't seem to find my bearings in this vast sea.

Dude... wanna know a secret of mine?
[hider=The deep, dark secret]
i failed English at school
[/hider]
No, seriously... I was shit at English. Final year 12 exam mark was what they call a mystery mark, meaning I got less than 50%. Even these days while reading I need to place my finger on the line or scroll the page to a certain point to make it easier. It's why I write with colour too as it helps me to read my own work. So fuck those who tell me it's not the "traditional" way of doing things. I'm not dyslexic or anything, but I do have difficulties in out spoken reading and occasional writing.

Why am I saying this? Because English is one thing that really has no wrong answers. There are "better" ways to convey a sentence and more optimal ways to describe something, but as long as you're clear in your wording, even small errors can be overlooked. Besides, practice makes perfect.

Also, Tau! :D
