Hey Darkie. That's what I shall call you (if you hate it, let me know!) I'm so glad you joined! I'm sure you'll love it here, and the best way to improve your skills is to practice! We're a wonderful bunch of folks here so I'm sure that you'll have a great time roleplaying with us. =)

Roleplaying is a really good way to distract from mental illness issues. I myself suffer from pretty crippling anxiety, and I find having an escape every so often into a completely other world/character gives me just the break I need. =)
