Hey OP, just wanted to say that your writing is amazing and i hope you have a lovely day! <3 Any tips for a struggling writer/roleplayer?
FIRST OFF: This has been sitting in my inbox for awhile now and I’m really sorry it’s taken me so long to reply?! It got gently buried in the depths of my drafts... but I really do appreciate the sentiment so much, and thank you for the kind words! ♡
The best ‘advice’ I can really give is to just get out there and do what makes you happy! Writing (at least for me) is all about inspiration, so if you have an interest in a particular thing, series, or character, just run with that and have fun. Roleplaying is all about fun at the end of the day — the reason I’ve stuck with Sonic for as long as I have is because not only is he my favorite character in... anything ever, really, but he’s also a joy to explore in writing. Silly little man.
In regards to the more technical aspect, if you mean reaching out and getting your blog off the ground (if you write on tumblr), don’t be afraid to toss a bone to other writers you may enjoy! Or if you’re too nervous to plot and such one on one, do some dash commentary, or an open starter. Dash memes! Stuff like that... it’s gud for generating activity, whether you want something heavy or light.
Last thought on the whole struggling thing, but when my brain juices are depleted and I just can’t form a coherent sentence to save my life, I usually put on some lofi or even like... Ambient Instrumental Inspiring Music Royalty Free For Writers on youtube LOL. Background noise (especially if it’s thematic or whatever) helps, but I can’t do lyrics, so I settle for this type of beat! I use calmlywriter as well, it helps me focus a lot! 
Thanks again for the ask, and good luck writing. <3
