What do I do with this?
I don't really know what to do with this blog-thingy.
I remember in High School I had a deadjournal. I used to post all sorts of angsty stuff to that. I'm not so much into angst anymore, though.
My summary, for what this journal is supposed to be about, says that I am going to be posting short fiction work. I don't think that is actually going to happen. I have been seriously toying with the idea of writing a novel lately. Now that I've given RP up, my mind is naturally going crazy with great story ideas. Thanks a lot, muse. I need a creative outlet; knitting just isn't quite doing it. I don't know that I could actually pull off writing a novel, though. My husband told me that if J.K. Rowling can do it and make tons of money off it, why can't I? That's a good question. Maybe I'm just lacking in confidence in myself, or maybe I just have a realistic view of my talents and realize they just don't extend far enough to write a novel. Back to the point, though. If I'm seriously considering writing a novel, then should I really be posting pieces of what could possibly be part of that novel online for free public consumption? I really don't know. I love posting online, though. It's probably one of the things I am going to miss most about RP; the collaborative story-writing aspect of it has, for the last few years, been much more enjoyable for me than the actual room-play.
I have thought about writing posts and praising all the characters/players that have influenced me in my Role Play. That will take a lot of time because there is just so much talent in the RhyDin community and so many people who have influenced me either directly or from afar. However, if I do that then I feel like I'm slowly torturing myself. I'd be purposely dwelling on RP even more than I do right now by still constantly checking the boards. Not a good way to leave my hobby, is it? But I still have to. ARGH! Frustration abounds.
Why did I time my quitting RP so poorly? I have all this time off from work now and nothing to do.. except figure out what to blog about!
