Do you rush posts?

[Vahir]

I've noticed that I often write my posts in a bizarre way: I start them out well written and with great effort, but as I go on I got more and more weary and sick of it, and tend to rush as I near the end, leading to a dip in quality. Part of it is probably that I tend to write them at the last minute and get impatient to post them.

Do you guys have the same thing? How do you deal with it?

Occasionally when I look at the time and realise it's late at night. However I am willing to sit on it til the next day if I don't believe I can end it quickly. It just depends on what's happening, how much is written and if others are waiting for me.

So for the most part, no, but I have done it before.

Used to. Now RP I am in is so slow I can take time to do things right. Outlining, second drafts, and outside editing. The whole deal.

That would imply I'm fast at writing. lol. I'm a sloth when it comes to writing out my ideas...

I usually always run my stuff through spell check, which is fairly simple and -should- be done by everyone that writes frankly. But I do miss things sometimes, from lack of obsession. And sometimes I don't feel like writing too much, so I make things a bit brief. But I think 'rushing' isn't the right word.

@Vilageidiotx

Are you writing a RP post or a novella?

I have on occasion when I start to think my post is becoming too long, of especially if I'm writing late at night or I'm so over tired that I cannot sleep.

We generally don't rush posts, as we always end up regretting doing so. Or at least we do so in short stories when we run out of time.

[Lady Absinthia]

Normally I don't, I tend to prep posts out ahead of time. Now if I am collabing with someone I know who is on a limited posting schedule I will hammer my parts out quickly so they can get as much done while they have the chance and don't have to wait on me if I can help it.

My OCD doesn't allow me to rush anything...

I need to outline my posts, then I'll flesh it out and structure it into readable paragraphs (I hate walls of text), then I read & re-read again, make necessary corrections, and then copy/paste (from Word) into posting field while hovering my finger over the "Post Reply" button until I'm happy...

...Yeah.

The only thing I rush is B

[vancexentan]

I have rushed out posts due to either being tired, in need of getting to class, or some other reason. Sometimes I have needed to post an important story post but didn't feel like making it so I rushed it out.

If I'm on a timetable, then yes I rush things. I've also noticed this happen to me when my interest in a RP gradually begins decreasing and I just stick around hoping I can salvage it.

[Royzooka]

I don't rush things but my quality of writing waivers all over the place. I have never been to the point of complete crap, just that I don't detail things as much as I should or talk about what they are thinking or feeling much of the time. When I do give more details then everyone wins, if not at least it is not below average. I also tend to avoid big words and so simple words are used to get to the point, rarely big words are used.

If my partner starts to get lazy with a string of one-liners to one-word posts, my writing ability remains good for a while before just giving in and giving them average stuff.

I sit around with my thumb up my ass sometimes, others I might go to write and get distracted and a post takes three times longer than it needs.
