I went from one liners, or rigid text based RP.../me walks into a room.  No real room to actually WRITE.  Friends of mine would RP on myspace and that was my first exposure to Para novella RP.<br/><br/>I try to write at least...2-3 paragraphs.  Depending on my muse, I'll write more.  The only time I like quick one offs as I call them, is during a scene that is more action based.  My skill isn't there yet.  For example, I haven't done a lot of combative writing in a novella sense.  My character might hit yours, but I'm not going to expound further because I'm afraid that I'll god mode.  It's something I have to work on.  Same with sexual scenes at times.  Both things I'm working on lol.<br/><br/>Actually writing on E, surrounded by all these awesome writers...it's good for me.  It's pushing me to do better, be better.  My writing has improved.  I've always been a writer, but less so for prose.  It's been a challenge for as long as I can remember for me to put what is inside my head on paper.<br/><br/>So yeah, it's not so much that I don't want to write with someone better than me...it's more the fact that they usually...don't stick around.  I also write as it hits me, but if I take too long...longer than a week, I'll message them, and let them know.  At least, I try to.
