You definitely should do it, then! Sometimes, it's the best thing for creativity, especially if you have new original characters that you want to try out.
If you're ever in the mood to try it again with me, hit me up. I'm not as free as I used to be (it may be several years later, but after messing up a few times in community college and almost giving it up, I sought help for my anxiety, turned everything around, and am now working on my degree away at school), but I'm still very passionate about RPing and am generally free on the weekends. Time management. Gotta learn that with my 18 credit hours and work study.
RPing is a blast, plus, I sorta miss you, you know? Haha.
