Author has written 5 stories for Mad Father, Hakuōki/薄桜鬼, Fire Emblem, Forest of Drizzling Rain, and Harvest Moon. CURRENTLY ON INDEFINITE HIATUS DUE TO REAL LIFE AND DIFFERING INTERESTS. So, update on my current status. My life has been a mess ever since college started. Most of my time has been taken up by studying and other various things, such as TV dramas and video games. My interests have also shifted. Well, I guess "shifted" isn't the right word. More like "increased in intensity". Because of my new found knowledge in Japanese, I now have a better view on the new land that is "otome games". As many of you know, English translations of such games are few and far between, so because of my impatience to wait for things that aren't even guaranteed to reach the Western market, I might as well learn the language so I don't have to wait. As a consequence, I have even less time to focus on writing. One other thing that's been affecting my writing, is my writing itself. I've noticed that I have not been able to squeeze out ideas and render them fluently in literary form as much as I could in the past, when I was still in high school. One explanation I could think of is that my high school life was as boring as boring could be, and I guess I took to fanfiction to alleviate that boredom. With so much time and unspent energy, I could write down my ideas as they came to me and they would in turn be written down in a form that can be considered decent. Now, with college going on and so much time spent on studying and stress from studying, I have no time nor energy to sit down and compose my ideas properly. And with the lack of practice, my writing has suffered as a consequence. I still think about what I could write down, ideas swimming inside my head as I daydream in a particularly boring class or on the walk to school, but with my retrogressed writing skills, it's become rather difficult to do what I used to. Although I may be wrong. Basically, my writing now sucks, and I'm still trying to fix that part. This does not mean that I have abandoned my unfinished stories. It just means that it will take longer than expected to finish them. For those who cannot bear with me until my stories have reached completion, I completely understand, and I apologize. To those who are willing to stay with me until the very end, I cannot say that my stories are of exceptional quality, but the fact that you enjoy them enough to bear with me, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. |
