I just felt like the RP wasn't really going anywhere, and I never seemed to have anybody really interacting with my character that much honestly. But meh. The longest post I've ever done was 3000 characters long.

I know how you feel at times. In the RPs in Sc2 I'm in, I feel like the background most of the time. Just gotta get in there. And that's pretty good for a post, some people can't think of what to write for 3000 x3

You all make me look like an beginner. I am proud if I can do 400 characters. I have done more but I need a partner to push me. I had the idea of building a group into a mini gang. Not necessary law breaking violent kind. But unfortunately.....

I wasn't saying anything against either of you! You both are good in my eyes. I ment certain people I knee v.v should have put that in there to avoid confusion... no I don't mean any offense against anyone and ain't talking about anyone here.

@LiegeLord It's my fault when people lose interest.

I didn't lose interest! There's just not much happening with my character.

No it's not. If it means jack diddily I enjoy RPing with you, I enjoyed it and you don't know how much it hurt me that I had to leave cause of everything happening. I missed you, I missed Yami and all of them. Even the ones that aren't here anymore. So no... it's not your fault.

@KatherinWinter I've been writing for about three years, at least taking it serious, I wrote stupid pointless story's before then. I know how you feel, there are people way better than I am. Just think about things such as rising plots, surroundings, things seen, things felt, diolog and such as. Show don't tell is also an important thing I'm trying to do. Think about some thoughts you could put in and some history. Just because you wrote out a history in a form, doesn't mean that it describes there whole life, and even if it did, you can still say some of the things during a topic. It is unknown to everyone else there, unless they read the form. Also think about things such as actions and movement, even the slightest movement of the hand can be important. Go in death, when you get into writing, it is very hard to stop, at least for me. I think its the same for other writers, well I guess it is. I'm not completely sure...

Hey look at that, 950 characters right there. Wow! It really isn't that much. Two decent paragraphs will get you there. Also to practice, try to describe things such as waking up in in def detail. Try a paragraph for it. You can only go to far, but it definitely helps, but don't be over descriptive.

Descriptions are my biggest problem. I never know where to put them. I also dont want to give away too much too soon. I also don't like to assume things. A lot of the longer posts I've seen make alot of assumptions. I have been writing since 5th grade. Which was a LONG time ago.

@Always That's the problem. My descriptions never feel like there in the right place. I describe a room before the characters enter and then they decide not to enter. I wait to describe a room after the characters enter then someone else describes the room.

Describe from the characters few, and if you want to describe it you could put a paragraph just to do it. Don't be scared that you are writing too much!

I agree with her, don't be scared to write. And if you need help you have friends here more then willing to help out. I mostly came back to see people I enjoyed talking to over RPing really, but if I can help in anyway I would love to. And I bet others here will be happy to help too.

@Always It isn't that I am afraid to write too much. I am afraid to give too much away too soon. I worry that my descriptions make no sense where I put them. I hold myself back because I don't have confidence. And with ever RP that fails I feel less confident.

I can criticize other people but not myself. You have plenty of examples of my writing.
