As i'm writing it, it's late but I got nothing else really going on and everything is pretty quiet, so let's go; and rather than tackle one thing, I wanted to do 2 because of how they relate to each other.

First of, the addiction, and this isn't an editable or drinkable addiction. This kind of addiction is not really know to some people, and sort of died down/out in other places: an RP Addiction. AS I SAY THIS, I have many RPs that I have not gotten to due to one thing or another. But this addiction is there and it's is a tight grip. What often happens is I drop everything and just focus on the RP until it's finish in certain cases. I know that's bad, but I like to devote nearly all my focus on them, mainly the live ones (Skype, Discord). It's not good, in fact in some cases, it is unhealthy, but it's what keeps me out of reality most of the time. And given the current climate at the time of writing (Hurricane Irma passed and Jose is off the east coast + feelings of loneliness at a new place) I want to do this escapeism and is in no way an excuse to try to make me stay hooked.

This addiction leads to the next thing and that is Procrastination. When I get home, I like to relax, take a load off my feet, and watch some internet videos until-oh crap, time to hit the hay. This procrastination has effected me before, from developing characters, to WORKING ON IMPORTANT WORK. Heck, I factor my relaxation highly over other stuff... that's not good what so ever!
Things of Procrastination are:

Chatting
Going to buy things
RP (OH THERE IT IS!)
YT/Vidme
Watch Livestreams
Gaming

That's the basic, small but it can get out of hand FAST, especially if given choices.

These are problems..... these are problems that have been growing........these are problems I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING. In some ways, my part-time job made the procrastination side worse, but that shouldn't be an excuse for what has been happening. This is a problem that I might need some help with. But what does that mean for the characters?

A LOT!

actuallly

In the past, I use to work on character bios of characters that I need it a lot, often having multiple done a month. Now? Yeah right. It's rare I get one a month done, or two. This is a problem that pleagues me as a whole, and even effects my work effort on character bio writing. I like to think that I've gotten better in my writing, I've been sending out a lot of OLD characters with OLD bios with no revamping because I haven't really worked on them. This is something that needs to change in the future-no, NOW! Though help from friends may be needed. ...and posting this at the time that I did... yeah, probably a bad idea. XD

Well, here's for a better and more focused me at the time this have been posted.... REALLY hope that's the case XD. Well, I say one more then we wrap this up? So, for the last one, how about explaining why characters get more of a spotlight than others. Cya for the last bit!
