A questy experiment

So hey, remember a couple years back where I tried those two quest things and they failed miserably because of nothing but my own insecurities?

...Oh, you didn't know that's why they failed? Well, that's why they failed. Basically, they both went in directions I didn't expect/anticipate, and I got frustrated, and put them down... and never picked them up again.

Well, shortly after the second one failed, I realized this was a problem I had. That I would get distraught and give up as soon as things didn't go how I wanted. It'd happened on other projects as well. And, well, I surmised (quite accurately, if I do say so myself) that this is kind of a bad thing. And I didn't want to try again until I thought I could handle it. Which, to me at the time, meant I'd practice at it and come back again.

The problem with that plan, of course, is that I really had no way to practice the thing I was avoiding until i practiced it if I was going to avoid it.

So I think I'm willing to try again. The major difference between then and now being, of course, that I'm aware I have this problem, and now I've told all of you as well. So maybe being aware of the problem will make it more manageable. Or not even present at all.

So yeah. I'd like to try again with the following rules:
1) I won't make a post more than once a day. Possibly twice on weekends if I feel up to it.
2) I won't spend more than an hour a day on a post. If I do, I'll delay the post until the next day. (Possible exception being the very first post)
3) You guys can do just about anything (within the obvious limitations of the situation). And I'm not allowed to get mad at you guys utilizing your free reign to the fullest.

And that's it.

Assuming you guys are willing to try this thing out again, and assuming at least three of you respond, I'll go ahead and try and do this thing again and hopefully it will be fun. I could stand to use the creative outlet as well.

So the next four days we'll be making a character, Race then Class then Gender then Name, followed by the start of the practice quest on Saturday. A start which I have no idea what it will be, and don't intend to even begin thinking up until Friday. Yeah, unlike the last two times, I'm not pre-preparing a story. I'd actually love to revisit some of the unused elements of the previous quest, but... not now. Not for this learning/practice quest thing. Heck, I don't even have a name for it yet! All I know right now is that it will be fantasy. And that's all I need to know

Anyway, let's get to it, shall we? Thanks for helping me improve my short comings by indulging me in this little questy thingy!
