I've been debating with myself back and forth if I should go for this. I have a big rp project, and my novel is something of a slog right now... I hate not having my co-writer around to help me out with this. I'm thinking of just quiting until he can show up regularly again ( Read more... )

I'd forgotten how hard writing purely by myself was ( Read more... )

... I've noticed that it's much easier to get motivated to work on your book when you have someone actively pestering you to let them read the first bit. The 'Dungeon-making' thing turned out to me more of a 'hanging out' bit, and since Levi kept asking me about my book... well, I ended up talking until my throat felt hoarse. He's nice. Not really ( Read more... )
