I have this problem where I'll be writing something, a story, or working on a project and during, if I find a story or a book that just blows my mind, I abandon my project. Simply, upon comparing what I'm doing to what someone who's a professional has done, I feel like underwhelmed about my current abilities. Like, I grow demoralized that I can't think of something as awesome as the author has written, so I feel like my creativity lacks luster. I wish I could make it stop, it's not very productive of me!

In comparison to you I myself feel very lackluster, and even amateurish in general. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be writing, I wouldn't be creative, and I would be here, nor would ASR. |

Thanks, Rob, that means a lot to me. I know that I have "creative" skills, but I guess sometimes when I can't find the story I wanna write, or the project I want to embark upon I get blocked up and sort of frustrated. ASR has been helping me sooth that frustration, so I am grateful for it, besides it's going to be so awesome with all of us working together to make a great game. |

Yeah, I have a lot of that same issue. What gets me going is when I carefully analyze how the author writes. Like Raymond E Feist is my favorite author, and yes I get so blown away when reading his work while writing. It's like "I can't even compete with this." Well I've studied it and come to realize, it's not how they write, it's what they write. A bad writer can still captivate an audience with their story. A decent writer can do more. Someone like you have a lot of talent and just need to realize, you own stories won't captivate you but will others. You aren't writing for yourself (except maybe for the feeling of fulfillment), you are writing to share your thoughts with the world. You are writing to captivate your own audience. It's impossible to compare authors because everyone has their own style of writing and to compare them isn't a real way to critic. I'm still struggling to tell myself this so I know it's easier said then done, but maybe you'll have better luck with it. And if so, let me know your secret lol. |

I think I need to roleplay to feel better. |

Roleplaying always makes me feel better. I get much of the same problem but I solve mine by simply saying 'they have their characters and plot-lines, and I have mine.' It's always a strong connection to whoever or whatever I'm writing about that gets me through it and makes me want to continue writing. |

yeah rping greatly helps with getting to know your characters which is why one I was Tasuda on ADBZ. Kyoto here, and Tano on LDBZ. And I was Maruji during the Yahoo rping bit. |

yeah, i guess I could. I'm not held down at any particular planet. Chose Gimle because like no one is there and I have an idea for a story. But not a big deal, I can go to earth. |

I vote yes. That way any problems with gameplay mechanics or anything else can be discovered and ironed out by us before any more players join up. |
