I am trying to write up a post that has to be perfect. I am trying to think of the right words to use that will make it sound good, yet not repeat what I've already said...However! I cannot think of the dang word I am looking for!!! :angry: :angry:

Do you guys ever get that? It's like a complete brain fart that I cannot get past! It's holding up my entire plans, because I need to finish this post, but I have other posts to write up as well! It's so frustrating.

A lot. :p

I usually set it aside and work on other things first. If I still can't think of the right words by the next day, I post anyway. Gotta keep the pipeline going, and all that.

Or what I call, "Brain stalls". Like Xany said. I go to something totally different and do that one. Then usually it will pop into my head, and I rush back to that section and post.

I am glad to see I am not the only one that does this! I always use a dictionary/thesaurus website when I am making up my posts, but when I get the serious "brain stall", I cannot even think of a synonym or the definition for that word...Such was the case when I posted this thread. :p

I went ahead and made this the official Venting thread when posting an RP post. :p

So like ... I swear some people's approach to RPing is like: sit down, start writing, stop when they hit x amount of pages in Word and then copypaste over to the Post Reply box and never look at it again.

Do they not see the missing step there? Sheesh..

Proofreading?

I admit, sometimes I neglect to proofread. Say I am in a hurry, or I am feeling lazy but I need to get a post in, I usually don't proofread.

If that is not what you were talking about...my bad.

Proofreading, editing ... whatever you want to call it. It doesn't really matter for short posts, but long posts that are just basically rambling = not cool. (If you're feeling lazy or really need to get a post in, you probably haven't written five pages either.)
