rpanons | generously pack butt with peanuts & carrots

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

thankfully I'm not really in a position with rp where I have huge looming expectations, all of my psls are super casual and most of the people on my tl for plurk will be doing nanowrimo too, and I'm not in a game. so really, I have no pressing, panic-inducing commitments... but there is the worry that psls will go stale if waits take too long!

I also have an issue with just jumping into writing without foreplanning - I don't need to plan every detail beforehand, but I think a lot of my end product for nanowrimo would be vignettes and lots of notes/ideas, instead of a bulk writing

I'm considering just going for it! I wish I'd had time to really think on it and do my pre-planning in October but man, I haven't even had the time to enjoy October, RIP, and my life is about to get crazier. but I also keep thinking that I have all of these ideas and I don't want to just die a person who wrote psls on dreamwidth and did nothing official with any of these ideas I had, meanwhile people self publish or just break out and get their product onto bookshelves and I am constantly thinking it's something I would love to attempt, but it's always 'I'll find time later'. I also rarely enjoy writing solo as much as I do roleplay...but at the end of the day I want to do something with what I'm creating.

November's going to be stupid crazy for me but I need to tell myself...if it's just something written, it's a start, and I need a stepping stone!

Sometimes just little bits, a snapshot of someone's life or parts of it can be a great thing to write/read as well. So there's definitely merit.

I am also having the issue with allowing myself to make time to write, but I think you really should just go for it. All you genuinely need is the end, and even then you can leave that open-ended, but you at least need a goal the story is working towards and honestly I find just letting what happens happen more enjoyable than forcing myself to keep to a tightly made outline, and I agree solo writing is less fun, but as you said, I two wish to do something with my ideas so good luck Anon!
