Okay, I have some advice if you want help with pacing? If you don't write out that your character did things or interacted with NPCs or places, then nothing will happen. Writing conversation depends on another player to respond. So if you only write conversation without taking other actions, then your progress has stalled to a full stop. One player so far has not posted or responded to messages, so I am assuming they backed out. I will re-open interest check thread and look for another who will want to play!
