There was a time when I was younger...
When I never felt burned out. I could always post no matter the time or day, I could manage RPs well(if lacking in quality) and somehow I knew what was successful.
I think the turning point was SotK. The sequel to TotG... and I couldn't do it. I didn't post on the original thread much if at all, I think, and I gave it to Xyrial to manage, the series spinning out of my hands.
That was a couple years ago. Since then, my ability to manage and keep up with RPs has declined. My quality has improved for sure, as have my knowledge and hopefully my common sense, but I always feel the urge to make something and abandon it immediately.
Yet I have trouble making stories because my experience is making the story with others. And my past RPs have directed me to the belief that letting the players manage it for the most part with no or little DM involved is wrong and results only in chaos. |
