Forums » RP Discussion » Motivation drying out! Need help! Please inspire!?

Guys!!!!

I need help! I'm starting to lose motivation!!! Anyone else felt the same before? I feel like when I first started I could reply to any forum at anytime, but now it feels more of an obligation than a choice.

Maybe try creating a different character, to give your brain a break? Or take a break from RP? I sometimes find that both methods help me to come back to a character with a fresher perspective.

Sounds like you are not having so much fun with your role plays. Talk it out with your partners, do some epic changes in games, or call them off as a whole. Listen to some music, look over your profiles, see who you have inspiration for and look for rp for that char... Or make new one, if you've got idea. If you can't, just take a bit of break from gaming as a whole, maybe read some rps or speak up to some person you think rp interestingly and invite to plot/chat with.
Just some suggestions... But sometimes, a total break is really the best. Just don't stick to roleplaying 'chore' way, otherwise it will be harder and harder to make fun for you again.

Try having a laugh! If laughter is the best medicine then it should put that spring back into your step! Try an rp so outrageous and comedical that the whole thing is just for 'lawlz'! Make sure it is with a person who doesn't mind the insane activity and can be equally as fun in the rp. I'm sure there are lots of people who would help you out with this! So long as general worries about how good the rp is aren't there you will be left with only the fun, the part you've been missing!

Best of luck,
Gamers

Thanks guys! I'll try out all your methods but I've tried taking a break. I do seem to feel fresh somewhat but I may do as Sadrain said and get rid of a character and create a new one. Thank you all for helping!
