Such as writing Primus Database pages. Good lord I have such a hard time working on those for my characters even though I know EVERYTHING for them. I've been trying to make one for my new character I've been rping as, Taranis, and it's so hard to get things down in writing. I wanted to do a second page too describing his home world but...Nothing wants to show up on the pages. D:

Also math. You ever notice sometimes when you learn new complex ways to solve a problem, it's harder to do the easier equations with simpler solutions?

Wiki pages are awesome fun for me actually, so long as someone is looking at them. If no one cares, then I lose interest cause, duh, I already know what I'd write.

Simple math though....I took 3 semesters of Calculus and have an engineering degree yet my mother laughs cause I have to do the air sketching thing to add numbers in my head >.<

If I could advise anything at all it is figure out basis sections you want and enter those first. No sentences, just the sections. Then you fill in each section incrementally, gradually over time.

I should offer this advice with a warning though - I am notorious for putting up too much, too soon - that is often sloppily written and poorly categorized. So my advice might not suit your needs.

However, if the problem right now is getting started - just writing out what sections you'd like to see and entering those, can allow you to focus on one small section first - and fleshing it out. It helps me out, that's for sure.

Think of it as an extension of the FOIL method. You break each part down, then compute the whole thing incrementally. smile

Darn it, stop reminding me that I have to update Darius's vastly outdated PRIMUS page which currently has un-fleshed out ideas.

It will be better soon™.

Warning: May contain traces of sarcasm

Huscarl: Multiple Tons of ass kicking machinery. And a kick ass pilot to boot.
Haunt: Westside resident and wielder of shadows
Runt: Half Troll soldier of another world.
Menhir: Magus and generally charming fellow.
Athame: Student of the arcane and part time hero.
Black Masque: Sky Pirate and swashbuckling gunman.
On the back burner...
Recurve: Archer and secret alter ego.
Winters Knight: Ever-changing servant of the unseelie court.
Clockwork: Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Kick Tock. Kick Ass.
Andrasta: Deity? Avatar? Champion? Just some nut with an axe and a goddesses name? place your bets!

Yep, wiki can be a pain. If you get really stuck, send me a tell, I'll help as I can.

However, if you dont have the page

book marked, you should, all the annotation you should really need there to look up.
