I did a NaNoWriMo Camp challenge (ever heard of it? "National November Writing Month." They do one during the summer now, though) once, and got to the target 50,000 words. I printed out the certificate to show my mom, and she got excited because she thought I had actually finished a story. Unfortunately, I was only a quarter of the way through, lol. I tend to write (or attempt) novels, when I do write.
I used to role play, but after a few bad experiences I stopped. I would maybe role play again, if I found a story I liked. :)
