Honestly, I think virtually everything that is good about my writing comes from my experiences roleplaying.C. N.

I learned a lot about myself as a writer and about how freaky some fans could be about certain details even in RPG worlds! *LOL*Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-9647093009386068202011-07-28T11:50:54.317-04:002011-07-28T11:50:54.317-04:00I didn't roleplay, but I played a MMORPG calle...I didn't roleplay, but I played a MMORPG called FFXI for about 8 years on and off.

We never really did, though - the setup was the more exiting part of the exercise. <br /><br />I'm still a bit like that with my writing. The plotting, the worldbuilding, that fascinates me, even the writing of individual scenes - it's the putting-it-all-together that gets to me! <br /><br />T.xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046724975658216337noreply@blogger.com
