Not my own words, but: "Enjoy memes and have a good time online, but develop a solid sense of self-worth that is rooted in a reality that doesn't disappear when the battery charge is empty."

Politics sucks. What if there were no parties or cliques with the express intent of tearing down the efforts of one another after seizing office? It's a cycle of progress and regression, at war with itself.
Original ideas? Where?

I type like a normal person, without a thesaurus.
All the writing (as in putting words on the page) happens in my room, at my desk. However, the inspiration, world-building, decisions made about the narrative can come at any time. I might be reading a book, playing a game, having lunch or just being out and about, and something may hit me - either a product of what I'm doing, or the environment, or for no apparent reason at all.

I don't have a physical "writing sanctuary" as such, but I guess I could say I carry it with me - in my head.
I haven't read any of this besides the OP, so my post is in response to only that.

This 'pre-made/pre-determined role' thing is bullshit. I've seen it most often in casual or free RPs where the creator requires folks to play accomplices to their oh-so-special GM character. I don't see the appeal of throwing away my own creativity or player agency to be forcefed a role to prop up someone else.

Any character in one of these pre-made roles is better served by an NPC. Even then, these ought to be narrative stories and not roleplays, because chances are the creator has a very specific plan for these characters to follow. Just write your damn story on your own instead of trying to make people play your characters.
