My characters are people who live in my head. It's the only way I know how to write.
I don't think as them, I just ask them. I think this is fairly common given the terms 'muse' and 'mun' and all that but it made me feel slightly mental when I first started RP.
I am more than slightly mental anyway. For real.
I love RP that is involved, built delicately, and has a long arc of character and relationship development to the point where it's difficult for me to parse any other kind, barring straight up crack.
I have to remind myself to loosen up sometimes, but I mostly I just dig on being STRAIGHT UP INTO THINGS because my god why love something less if you can love it more?
Arcs and angst and intensity. Super intensity. I love it.
I can be, like a lot of RPers, insecure to the point of madness about whether or not I'm doing 'well enough'.
This is divided into whether or not I'm writing well enough (which I most go pfft to) and whether or not I'm living up to the expectations of other RPers in regards to effort, tagging, character and plot.
I feel way over-obligated sometimes and have to step back and go no. Breathe. It is ok to tag this later. Just for the sake of doing it.
I don't take on new characters very often and the vast majority of the ones already in my head are OCs.
Jim is my most recent addition and though I've been tagging with him since the summer I'm still getting a feel for the psychotic little bastard.
I have times of great enthusiasm and times of great bleh. Because I have more than one illness that rears its head and flattens me in totally unpredictable ways, it's usually that that feeds the bleh.
I TRY not to feel guilty about it but that is more of a lifetime project.
I write smut like nobody's business. Smut it up, smutty smuttington.
Jossoerp and I have been working on our own epic story for something close to three years now and it is totally my passion. She is my hetero lifemate and just the best writer you don't even know.
Writing Jim is a totally new experience for me because he is such a psychotic bastard. The rest of my characters are emotionally intricate, or huge messes, or both. Because THAT'S JUST HOW I ROLL. Muaha.
I AM LONG WINDED. FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON MY DEAL.
