Indeed,for those who wish to improve grammar,vocabulary or spelling skills,RP can really help (see,there's a practical use to it too,and there's always the fun involved)...If however you need help,i've noticed Firefox has a very useful spell checker in the latest versions that might suite your needs...More so if you wish to RP in mud and are afraid that your spelling isn't up to it,keep in mind that the people you RP with only need to understand what you want to say (of course having impeccable grammar is a plus,but a good storyline and talent will always be on top of it...)
I actually think people tend to stay away from RP for this very reason,but it's a misconception.. RP revolves around the story one weaves...You could take a simple walk through Hira and make a RP from it if you have enough imagination and skill...
Also keep in mind that merely specifying that your spelling is a little rusty at the beginning of a RP will take that whole stress off your back.I don't think people are that absurd as to keep you from RPing for that sole reason (and if they are,do tell me and i'll straighten it out ASAP).
Ok ,as for Tatakai,he's only begun RPing a few posts ago and he's already evolving... In time he'll have his skills perfected and refined...(Tata,the only observation i can make is that you might wanna have your Dialog stand out a little from the actual story telling...quotation marks come to mind,but then again you could use color,or bold/italic characters...
Let me tell you something that i use quite often...I think of what my generall idea about the RP is (a walk,a dream,a fight) and then as i do the actuall RP i think of what i think should attract people's attention (a name,a weapon or attack,an object,that kind of stuff)and try to make it stand out by use of the methods i mentioned before or even insisting on it's features...
The best way to develop your RP skill is by doing it,and learning from it and from others...So if your new to the concept and want a sneak peak into what's it's all about ether catch people doing a RP on the mud or just read some of the logs or RPs that we've done here on the forums...they'll work just as well in helping you get an idea of how things work...
Hope to see you RP soon!
