Ha ha, Option 1 is the same for me. It's not very common but every now and again I'll have a "brain blast" and just have something to write. It was actually how I started the post for our RP, Arti. I was just thinking of a stormy night and I wanted it to be darker. So I ran with that and I think it turned out just fine.

Option 2 is usually how I write. Like Duke, I try to add depth to the story and move it along. Never been a fan of wasting time or effort for no progress. Why run up a hill when you're clearly only going to go backwards? Seems counter productive to me. Now, if I can't think of anything that will really progress the story, I'll work on detailing out my characters or the setting. It's why every now and again I'll go into detail about the campus, the trees, the neighborhood, or the clothing, hair, eyes, etc. It just adds some important info into the story; it can also show how your character observes the world. Do they notice the arched dome? Or do they notice the mismatched socks? Stuff like that brings out character quirks and personality. It also makes the writing fun because you never know what'll pop up!

But my posts, orders, and lengths all vary, too. Some are long. Some are short. Some have great detail while others are pretty elementary. It depends on my mood and how much time I have. If I'm super passionate, I'll write more. If I'm in a rut or bored, the posts shorten in length. But that's just me. ^^



And I'm pretty sure I need to do that too. XD

Speaking of weird phrases, my Friend Code slogan on the 3DS is "Everyone poos." I have no idea how to change it. CURSE YOU, ANDREW! It is his 3DS but I've kinda stolen that too. XD

THIEF! That's it, we're going to have to lock you up. No parole. Your sentence is five hard years of roleplaying, no breaks. It begins now.

@[email protected] I can't just post anything awesome right now. I can't magically snap my fingers and have an epic post. Anything I write now will be short and crappy as hell. Neither of which I'm a fan of doing. I'm still peeved that I did a two-liner. That's so not my style, which is why I've been bulking up my posts again. No more small wimpy posts for me. 'tis not my style. ^^; I'm definitely going to need to sit on this post for a bit longer, sowwy! But if you want your epic posts, you'll need to give me sometime.

Also, I'm never around on weekends since that's the only time I see the boyfriend so don't expect to see anything from me this weekend.

Noooooooooo

But I don't care if it's a one or two liner. I'll write lots to fill in the gap T_T

Ha ha, well you might not care but it does reflect poorly upon me. I don't want to start earning a reputation for being a one-liner (not that there's anything wrong with it; it's just not my forte). Besides, it would certainly squash any chances of being in the advanced-lit stories, which are the kind I prefer. Gotta love dem meaty posts (1000+ words, ahhh yeahhhh). I agree that we all have our down days, but I don't want to post little things because I can. I like putting in the extra effort. It just feels weird if I don't. I like going for quality posts!

And if you're so bored, you can always add more onto your post, missy! XP I've gone backwards and ended mine a few times to give 'm more weight.

You know what's awesome? When you're feeling sad and lonely and someone starts annoying the heck out of you in a misguided attempt to cheer you up.

I love doing that XD lol

I am well known for trying too hard to help or make someone feel better. I've learned that sometimes, people just want to wallow for a while. And that's ok,.

It's okay, I swore Duke was telling me that her dog wanted to play a FPS instead of watching Fairy Tale so I was like, "Ummm... weird." I then realized she said Bravo (her bf) instead of Braden (the pooch).

Can we talk about how awesome this guy is. I love Gabriel Macht. He's just so chill. Look at him taking a selfie at the hair cutter.

Also, he's with my fav man, RDJ. He's too cool.


Yup, those are my parting words.

I know you were especially distressed when Xav announced she was going offline for the weekend, Artifex. Are you guys involved in a role play together?

Oh ok. That sounds like a good thing. Most of my friends on here I know IRL but I'm trying to get my presence here on Mene to be a regular one.
