**WHY A TUTOR?**

What I am looking for is someone who has the patience to help me learn the proper way to RP online. I know it's different from RPing live, but I don't know the proper etiquette, for lack of a better term.
Also, since I do most of my internet stuff on my phone, I'm not very quick with my replies.

As I stated in my last post, there are a few things that have contributed to my desire to be tutored before trying to join any RP.
Other than Gaia, I haven't RP'd online, and that was almost 7 years ago. It was pretty traumatizing the way they treated me as a newbie... and after being alienated by my real life friends, it was enough to get me to stop trying.

I think that RPing is a great way to keep one's mind active, and I have some pretty heavy stuff going on in my life right now that is only going to get worse. My eldest cat, Sassy, one whom I have raised since she was four weeks old, was diagnosed with an aggressive malignant tumor in her upper gums, lip, and bone. When I first took her to the vet for swelling over her right upper incisor in mid Feb, the preliminary findings were that she just had an abscess (infected tooth) and she was put on antibiotics until they could get her in for a dental appointment on Feb 28th (cats are put under anesthesia for any dental work- even routine cleaning). Well, it turns out that the infection was covering the tumor, which is why it wasn't discovered at the first visit. There's nothing the vet can do to get rid of the cancer since it is already in the bone.. He told me on Feb 28th that she had anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to live. I don't deal well with the loss of one of my cats, so I figured that getting into RP could prove to be therapeutic.
I adopted Sassy and her two littermates as a package deal. Both of her brothers have already passed away from cancer, one in 2009 and the other in 2011. In 2009, I pretty much lost it and retreated from even my online friends. I was a basketcase for MONTHS. In 2011, I decided to try to get back into two avatar sites to help keep my mind occupied, only to find that one site had become a ghost town and the other ... all my old friends had quit the site and left it to the teenagers.
I am hoping that I can do better here on Tris. The site is super active, and everyone I have met so far is super nice. I figure that if there is anywhere that I may be able to find a tutor for RPing, Tris is the place. And, once I get the hang of it and feel comfortable joining an RP group, I can possibly make some more new friends ^_^

So, there's my reasons for 1. Wanting a tutor; and 2. Why I am even interested in getting into online RPing.

Still with me? LOL
