Make the creative juices flow...

Ever felt like writing something completely pointless, but not sure where to begin or if you can keep it going? Well, I have the solution. RPG's! While I used to scorn and laugh at the thought of a Role Playing Game, I have now recanted my former views. I have found that if you can write a good story, you can be very good at RPG's.

However, there are some rules to follow:
1. Never put words in another character's mouth. Only say what your character says. You can reiterate other dialogue from previous posts, but do not talk for them.
2. It is best to use your point of view, that way hints for continuation can pop up and be used by others. Hint for questions, answers, and action.
3. Don't be boring! Treat it like novel, but with many different authors.
4. This is just a suggestion. Do only one. This keeps you focused and gives you time for the real important stuff, like school and work.

So, if you follow these simple rules, your creativity, and possible light for a story, can be found and/or fullfilled. WARNING: RPG's are not for everyone. No one by any means should rush off and join the first one you find. Establish yourself and get invited in, then seamlessly fit yourself into the story, respect will continue, and the fun will begin!
