User blog:LoganWoerner/A User Who Needs Encouragement

Hey guys, it's Logan again, here to talk about MOCing, my BIONICLE storyline, and some points to discuss in the comments.

Activity
I haven't truly been active on CBW for at least a year or two, spending most of my time here telling you all about the awesome stories I'm "going" to write, and then giving up a month or two afterwards. My MOCing activity has been slowly grinding to a halt, the only successful MOC I have ever created being Niha, a character whose backstory I have changed so many times It's not even funny. I have no idea what I will be doing on CBW, but every time I try to leave, I'm drawn back in. Part of me wants to be successful here, while the other part just wants to break off any connection I've ever had with CBW. Don't worry, I'm not leaving, but my productivity here has been nonexistent.

I would really like some support and encouragement, and also some ideas on what to do here. What would you say to a new user on CBW, if he asked for advice on how to create a presence on CBW?

MOCs
Niha is the only well-known creation that I have presented to you guys, and I know she has gotten old. Her backstory, character traits, and even her species has constantly changed drastically several times throughout her existence as a MOC. I'd like to know what you think about Niha, and what I could do to make her more interesting. I hope to MOC a bit more over the next few months, and any encouragement and tips would be very helpful.

Stories
Yep, here's a touchy subject for me. My storyline. I have created and cancelled stories over and over for three years, and counting (By the way, Niha: Origins is cancelled.). I get bored with my stories. I am excited at first, but then that excitement wears off and dies. I don't know if I'm going to continue writing. I don't think I'm going to do stop-motion either. I think I'll just tidy up Niha's page a bit, complete her story there, and then maybe it'll be a page worthy of recognition. I'm really not good at finishing what I start.

Discussion Topics
BobTheDoctor27 and Vorred have gotten quite a bit of chatter with these "points for discussion", so I thought I'd give it a whirl.


 * What have you liked about Niha's character, and what have you disliked? What do you think I could do to improve her?


 * So, you like some of the versions of Niha I have built. What types of MOCs would you like to see from me in the future? What character traits do you think would be in a character made to complete Niha?


 * I've started and cancelled many projects here on CBW. What have you done to keep from giving up when working here?

That is all.
