Serious question in need of serious consideration and reply. ... Seriously.
So, LJ's lovely highlight communities reminded me that November is coming up along with the infamous NaNoWriMo. I have seen this event come and go for 5 years now, and marveled at the writers who devote themselves to it.
I have things I wish to write.
I have been putting things off for 10 years.
I have roleplay which conflicts heavily to my ability to write anything coherent that is not involved with roleplay.
I also have school which will be conflicting with the writing potential of both novel and roleplay as finals approach in November/December.
I know roleplay conflicts heavily with my writing. I have known this since I first started it a lifetime ago. I really love writing, and I really want to try writing, but I don't know if I can function without RP. Wow that really makes me sound pathetic. I may not have to pass on RP entirely, but I do know that it becomes a constant distraction.
I think I could pull it off with a week or two of true hiatus from RP, to get my mind away from it for a while and then a semi-hiatus for the rest of the time. I would probably have to start the full hiatus before November in order to get mentally prepared to actually write.
Is it bad that the idea of being completely inactive in RP communities scares me horribly right now?
So... I guess I just want opinions thoughts and feed back from y'all. Do I cut ties for a while and see if I can actually write something that isn't RP or academia?
Quick answers, here:
Poll NaNo
Feel free to expand in comments. I... would really like to discuss this possibility. If anyone would like to join me in this endeavor, let me know. I'll likely shift over to digitalinkstain if I do try this.

Talk to meeeeeeeeee. ;o;
