Ahhh, conversational pleasantries

As if we needed another place to chat about RPing goodness, I've jumped on the RP blog bandwagon. I don't know how much of what I say will be useful in anyway to anyone, but at the very least, I hope that it is entertaining.

I think one thing I'll use this for is plotting! I need a place to really break down what I want to do with my poorly neglected characters. *hangs head in shame*

Right now I've got a solid plot for Helene going with Chris (Rowan) and I'm ridiculously excited about it. Mostly because it's the best laid out plot that I've had. I guess that goes to show how a little time and effort can make things a lot easier. Not to mention how much of a motivator it is.

Adrienne was my first, coming into creation all the way back to HOL days in 2003. I choose to block out subsequent RPing just because my writing was OMG!HORRID. Thankfully, I did not lose completely touch with HPU after I had to take an extended hiatus do to the dreaded RL. Honestly, RPing (ok, and reading a shitload of books) as definitely aided in making me a better writer. Not by just writing more, which is always helpful, but also by reading the wonderful posts by my fellow AUers. We have some seriously talented writers in our community and I'm damn proud that I am among the ranks.

Adrienne, though my first character, has left me perplexed. I know where she is right now, but I have only snippets of her past (and a poorly developed past it is) and pretty much nothing of her future. I really need to figure out where I want her to go before she drives me mad, or worse, I lose all desire to even bother. That is something I DON'T want to happen.


*sigh* trials and tribulations.
