It may not be quality, but if I honestly don't have the desire to write but I want to write which is kind of where I think you're at based on your description, i just sit down and do it. I don't edit, I just write and click submit and by the time I've done that on one, I've got enough motivation to go to the next one and get it hammered out.

Take the creativity out of it and make it a mechanical process.
I wonder what you would say to someone who said that exact same thing about their sex life? :))

You people are weird.

I do the rp side as an exercise in creative writing. I get excited about it at times but it's never "fun". The grid is where fun happens.

Nah, you're the weird one. lol

You're the complete opposite of me.

The grid is 'meh'. I only do it to be able to RP things with my charries. The RP is where the fun is at.
