RP Question

[loobee]

I have a small problem that isn't good for a RP-er and it's the main reason I've not been RP-ing much...I'm scared of doing LOGS!!! I want to reply more in Nihil but I can't get over my stupid fear of doing a log with someone. It's complicated to explain why and even I don't know why I get really nervous about it (the Gevanni one was killing my nerves) I think it's because I've never been a great writer and am a little afraid of not really knowing what I'm doing in moving a log along. I read others logs to get an idea but they seem so wonderfully done and naturally flowing I always think I can't do that. 

I think I'm getting the hang of 1st person comments so I wanted to ask if anyone has any hints they can give me to get over my stupid, stupid fear. Man I hate being a noob ^_^

Like the others said, it´s a common problem, so don´t feel stupid about it. ^^ I´m STILL afraid of logs. (Except perhaps with Akane or Ciara since I´ve logged with them so often and we know each other so well in that respect.) It probably won´t go away entirely, and I think a little nervousness is normal.

The only thing I can tell is that, keep in mind, if you do a log, NOTHING BAD can happen. What´s the worst thing that could happen? Yes, maybe it frizzles, but that happens to the best players. But chances are it won´t, and then it´ll be great. I´ve learned that most Rp partners are patient and not at all bitchy about it.

The other thing is that you´ll only get better from experience, so throw yourself into that cold water in occasion, okay? ^^

Thank you Alex ♥ It sounds weird but it does help a bit knowing people who are so good still get nervous about it. I guess I should just shove those nerves to the side and go for it. I want Matt to be doing things (same for the G-man too) and my shyness stops them from doing what they want. But no one has said anything yet apart from they want to play more with me so I can't be doing as bad as I think I am so I'll pluck up the courage to do more logs.

Bu...but I can't swim ^^ Haha I'll do some more throwing I promise. I mean looking at it it's the fact you guys in Sigil and Nihil are so awesome that I've been able to stop being so shy and try RP and I can't thank you enough really.

That and Matt hasn't even talked to your Mello properly yet and that has to be fixed *looks determined*
