A drifter, returned
So I've noticed a problem that I know I have and that I've seen others have as well.
I tend to get really big ideas for my RPs, I put in a lot of work into developing the setting, plot out some general story beats with the hope of keeping the players interested and generally like to feel that I'm in a good place before I even post the RP. But more often than not after the first few pages of actually running the thing I end up feeling worn down and getting less interested to the point that I don't keep up with the RP.
I need to find a good way to help keep myself going, because I want the story to work and be fun for the people playing it. What's some good advice to keep your head in the game, or at least to keep the thing running so that it doesn't die the moment you need to take a break?
