Awesome! What are some things that you feel can motivate you into making a thread here and getting one off the ground? -
Make a thread explaining your Adventure roleplaying idea! Including the name of the RP, concept, themes, images or music that come to capture the essence of the RP.

You can name the thread after your own character. An idea. A scenery. A piece of art. Anything you want that can help you to brain storm and come up with neat ideas!

I may be setting a bad example here. But this has all been copied/pasted from this exact link. Remember to do as I say, not as I do. (all jokes aside, I am short on time, so I wanted to offer some ideas here. Make some new threads with word associations and what helps you to overcome writer's block) 1. Write About Something You Know You’ve probably heard this writing advice before, and that’s for good reason. It’s far easier to write about something familiar to you than something you barely know anything about. If you feel like you’re running into a wall trying to come up with new ideas, try tying it back to your own personal experience. This can apply even if you’re writing something technical or business oriented. Just think about a time when you were affected by or had to use the skills, knowledge, or insights you’re writing about. For example, if you’re writing an article about project management, think back to a time when you struggled to manage a project. What went wrong? How did you feel? Write down a personal anecdote, even if you know it’s not going to appear in the final piece. Just the act of getting your thoughts down on paper (or screen) will probably help you come up with new things to say. And if you’re still struggling to find a personal connection, doing extra research to empathize with the audience your writing is targeting helps too. 2. Don’t Forget About Prewriting When we sit down to write without any road map or plan, it’s easy for our thoughts to feel scattered. This can quickly make it seem overwhelming and even impossible to get anything down on paper at all. You may find yourself asking questions like: Where do I start? If I start at A, then how will I incorporate B? What if I forget to mention C, D, and E? Should I begin at Z and go backward? And what about G, which doesn’t fit in anywhere?! Before you go crazy trying to fit everything together, do some prewriting exercises to help organize your thoughts. This could be something as simple as brainstorming a list of ideas related to your topic or writing an outline of what you want to cover. When you do this without adding the extra pressure of writing your entire piece, it becomes much easier to understand what direction you want it to go in. From there, you can fill in the blanks in a calm, collected manner. 3. Change Your Scenery Having a reliable workspace that gives you the peace you need to write is extremely important. However, some days, it’s just not enough. If you’re sitting at the same desk and find yourself blanking on ideas, try mixing it up: Go to another room in your house or maybe even just another part of the same room. Since creativity is often jogged by the sensory input we’re exposed to, even a small change in scenery can help get your creative juices flowing. Feel like you need to take drastic measures? Try changing environments entirely. Go to a coffee shop, or sit on a bench outside. You just might overhear a piece of a conversation or see an interaction that sparks your next idea. 4. Do Something Else If you feel like you’ve tried everything and you’re still not coming up with any ideas, you might need to take a step away from your project. Sometimes, focusing too hard on coming up with something new can hinder your ability to think up anything at all, and the best solution is to forget about it for a second and let your brain reset. Try this: Set a timer for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or even an hour or two, and do something unrelated to what you’re working on. Switch gears to another project that’s focused on something different, like a hobby project. Maybe even just take a break to do something fun that has nothing to do with being “productive,” like watching a movie, going for a walk, or playing a game. The goal is to allow your mind some time to relax and recharge so you can come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your project with new vigor. Sometimes you may even come back and have a lightbulb moment inspired by something that happened during your break. Don’t Miss: Writers: How to “Steal” an Idea and Put a Personal Spin on It 5. Don’t Overcomplicate Getting Started As with many things in life, getting started is the hardest part of figuring out how to get through writer’s block. There’s something intimidating about a blank page or screen, and we often get filled with psychological blocks that prevent us from conquering it. These could include things like: Worrying your idea won’t come out as great as it is in your head Fearing that once you start, the project will be longer, more complicated, and more time-consuming than you’d anticipated Overthinking whether your idea is original or good enough Second-guessing whether you’ve done enough to prepare with research, prewriting, or brainstorming While all these are valid concerns, they shouldn’t stop you from getting started. When you’re just beginning a piece, perfection should be the last thing on your mind. Just focus on getting something out so you have material to work with. You can always go back and revise it later. Try practicing freewriting (i.e., letting your thoughts flow onto the page without worrying about grammar, punctuation, or logic) for a few minutes. You can also begin with a simple idea to gain momentum and then make it more complex later. 6. Create a Routine (Even If You’ve Never Followed One Before) One of the most important things you can do to get through writer’s block is to write regularly. This will help you mentally view writing as something that has to get done no matter what rather than something that can happen only when you’re adequately inspired. Once you train your brain to adopt this mentality, writing becomes a lot easier, especially on those days you don’t feel like doing it. You also don’t have to jump to extremes with this. Your routine doesn’t have to involve sacrificing massive chunks of your day to writing or turning into a prolific writer overnight. Instead, focus on making small, achievable goals that you can accomplish with regularity. This could mean setting a goal to write at least something every day, committing to writing for an hour (or a half-hour or even 20 minutes) each day, or giving yourself hard deadlines for specific pieces. Do what works for you—and stick with it.

This is a good question! Possibly because It got moved there after AI was detected. Either way, Cast is away for the time being so I shall be locking this thread until further notice from him. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please be patient while he seems to complete the rest of your work.

offering critique Silky's Beauty Spa (OC creation and re-designing)
Ice Princess Silky <3 replied to Ice Princess Silky <3's topic in Original Character Help
( Hi there! I do not get notifications since my notifications BLOW up, already and I do apologize for that. ) Silky seems absent from the store despite the fact that the door was open for him to peek his head through. Despite that, there was a chair in front of a mirror that looked rather inviting to sit on. -
O. I suppose not. Carry on. >.>

Mmmmmayyybee.. Nonsense. Were you the one who offered the feedback from earlier? If so, it is well appreciated.
