Artist's Way un-check-in

[ahavah]

I haven't been on top of the Artist's Way this week, since I've been really sick. Hardly done morning pages at all, haven't had a real writer's date (I did design my 'Working Title' world), and haven't done any of the tasks. I'm feeling mildly better today. I'll try to catch up after work and eventually do a check-in, but I'm behind schedule

I guess, but at least there was a lot of discussion there and people trying to save it. I do think the main problem was such a huge jump, so that peoples' characters had to change so drastically or make new ones. Hell, it's been almost two years in this one, and we'd only just started exploring the second storyline. It took that long to wrap up with the first one. There were all these people saying they're interested offlist and on the OOC list, but they just don't want to post. It's so frustrating. I think I just didn't have active enough mods to help. It just won't live if I'm the only one trying to post and respond to people. :( I keep thinking, if I hadn't taken a hiatus for NaNo, it would have lived. Oh well.

I have not seen the new Sherlock Holmes yet. Seems to have created a rather immediate fandom though, so maybe I should find it.

I'm really sorry the Kushiel RPG didn't work out. I think it was already winding down by the time I joined, but I didn't post as frequently as I could have, either. :( It was harder to integrate a new character than I'd thought--I couldn't really think of any good plot stuff, and then with work/travel/kitty drama, I guess I just let it slide.

It doesn't reflect on you as a moderator. I think the issue may have been that there was only one of you seriously trying to get the game going, but in the end it's a group effort. I hope it doesn't discourage your private writing, because in the group I thought you were definitely one of the better writers. :)

Aw, well thank you! I'm glad you think so. I'd actually thought that, before NaNo, I'd done pretty well with getting the group more active again. I really thought things had improved, and having a couple of new members really excited me. I do wish you guys had posted, and I kept trying to get people involved. I'd tag folks and leave open tags, trying to make sure everyone had an opportunity. I begged folks to discuss character story arcs with me offlist and try to work in some good plots for everyone. No one else seemed to care though. It was my favorite group, too. I've really been upset about it. I think it's hormones, but yeah, pretty broken hearted. Had to stop myself from crying over it, which I know is silly for an RPG. I don't mean to rage. :(

It's strange but I did RL RPG (not larp) and then transitioned to an online version with a server and chat and audio from the GM (my husband) and built in imaging and realized why I could never do written RPG other than in email interactions. IT'S HARD! Writing takes a lot of time and energy and consistency.

If I had any talent in writing Kushiel's would be the RP I would love beyond loving but again so much time to do it right and the pressure of not meeting the groups standards...ugh.

I applaud you for doing it for however long you have. I couldn't.

(suddenly missing my old Kushiels icons from my other account).

That which yields is not weak

I'm not sure what you're describing, so it sounds hard! lol

Well, to be honest, some of the casual players we've had weren't exactly on the level I would have hoped, but I was always glad to let anyone in who was passionate about it and understood the rules. It's pretty easy to meet our standards. There is one member who has spoken up & is really wanting to save the group, so if you think you might be interested, please let me know. I had been ready to move on, but she's so sweet about it that it's got me going "Well..." I don't know. But I hated to see it go, so if you'd like to peek at it and see, let me know.

I don't have that particular quote, but if you want any of my kushiel icons, please feel free. I didn't make all of them, but I should have them all credited, I think.
