I never judge when people get a writers block going on so don’t think I was poking fun. But if I could offer some advice to you that may be helpful presently and in the future... I think you are thinking about how to equal them. If you put someone higher than yourself then you feel like you can’t win and lose drive and get a block. When I face people I keep in mind that they can be beaten and I go from there. I lose sometimes but I don’t think I lost badly ever and shit is always close. You are putting people too far above you and I think that is killing the ideas you are coming up with. Here is the best example I can come up with. War…when out numbered people what? Surrender! Don’t keep people above you and don’t think you are beneath them because the second you do, all your ideas you will throw away because it will never be good enough. Eli is a normal guy and writes awesome work and so do you. In fact I think you can take him. 2000 word role-plays won’t win you a match…a good role-play will. Not saying that Eli’s shit sucks…all I am saying is you have a better chance than you think you do.
Small armies of people, brought together at desperate times, have overtaken large, vast armies of heavily armed soldiers.
Underdogs have one thing that can lead them to victory. And that is desire.
It's like I said IC before raYne died.....I am the best in the world at everything I do. Because if I don't believe it? It will never come true.
Believe it.
Be it.
I very often give good advice. But I very seldom follow it...But times change. People change.
Cain...I just read 'The Murderer Returns'. And I HAD to come to this thread, and tell you. You remind me of Vlad. None of you know him, not even the people that were here when I originally called the XWF home. But he and "The Deite's Dragon", Javex Valerius...they were the two guys that had the greatest impact on my character, in his 14 year career. XAW. Which I've ALWAYS said this place reminds me of.
I compare Satellite/Supernova/Azrael to JVX. Now, I see a bit of "The Dhampir" in you and your character. I guess that'd make Misty his 'Claudia'....Vlad 'turned' her. They had that same kind of relationship, and reading that piece....Total flashback moment. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Please, do NOT make a different character.
Take Morby and Maddy's advice. Invest a tiny chunk of cash? And you will be a Universal Champion. Believe it.
