I've been feeling kinda weird about rping lately, like I'm just writing down other people's memories, instead of writing a story... does this strike anyone as odd? It kinda freaks me out, but it makes writing so much easier... I'm not MPD, I swear! I just... idk, it doesn't feel weird to me, it just seems weird when I stop and think about what I just wrote and go, "WTF?!? What's he thinking? Wait, yeah, that's my post... umm..."

lol No, Tsuki you're fine. It's a tool a lot of writers use to make their stories more believable. They will create a character and then find out everything about them. For example: What's their favorite color? Favorite music? Favorite shirt? What would they say to "Enter Comment Here"? How do they talk? What kind of relationship do these people have? etc etc...
I think you would make a wonderful writer. ^^

Oh, good (and thanks). I was worried for a second, there (well, more than a sec, 'cause nobody responded to my post until now, lol). Actually, my biggest challenge in writing is not being able to express what I see in words, that's why I draw. I am improving, and hope someday to write a novel/manga/screenplay/whatever for my EON characters (sadly, I have neither the knowhow nor ambition to maintain my board... at this point it's just a place to occasionally put my ideas into words). I still haven't figured out why I call it EON, either; it doesn't really stand for anything, but that's another ball-o-wax. Anyways, thanks for responding, I was afraid people were like, "Uh... soviet what-now? No thanks." Maybe I should change the title... hehe ^_^;

Yeah, not too fond of it, myself, but what can I say? I am fairly indoctrinated in the colloquialisms of the modern-day American, though I still have a ways to go (thank God!) ^_~

Woot! ^_^ *issproud of vocabulary* A colloquialism is just an everyday saying or one that everybody-and-their-dog knows, like "look before you leap". ^_^

*Jumps and catches the Scooby snack in her mouth and chomps it down happily.*
I know! I hate it when I'm talking and I'll really get into a conversation and there's like half of the people there are human. The other half will just keep talking, because THEY understand, but the others will just look at each other like "What?" *sigh*
