drop meme for real
Jul. 31st, 2009 09:40 pmOkay, now that I'm a little less sore and realize my problem is with apping, not playing... let's try this again.
Basically - I have no intention of dropping either, but if I had to I wouldn't be miserable.
( Drop meme. For real this time. )
ME
So my main problems are:
1) Trying to spend more time than I should in one sitting on threads
2) Sucking at apping
For the first, I am just going to have to stop trying to spend two hours in one sitting with RP. I'm not comfortable that way and just can't keep the voice going for that long. Really, I just spend half the time trying to tag back and trying to ignore the fact that the attention span has passed and I need to come back. So I'll just have to pick up threads at intervals instead of prolonged playing for hours. The latter doesn't work.
As for sucking at apping: I've finally come to realize that's okay. If I get an idea for an app sometime, I'll write it down, and maybe when an app round comes up I'll have a draft ready in time. Because every time I decide "okay, I'm gonna app X character for THIS round dammit" something always happens or I stress myself out. If I keep working around deadlines I'll continue to suck at it. Maybe I'll find a character that takes over my brainspace so much that pounding out an app is nothing. Or maybe I'll just find myself with a draft around apping time.
Not as sore now, by the way. Just need to pick up and get organized for possible family antics tomorrow.
