Author has written 10 stories for Detective Conan/Case Closed, Naruto, One Piece, Ace of Diamond/ダイヤのA, and Slam Dunk. "Things do not change; we change." "Sometimes our Courage shows what we are." "Every day you still dwell in the past, is a wasted minute of the future." Writing is my passion; words are the flames of fire in my thoughts. So, don't take it personally when I happen to burn you. My profile is regularly updated. I note everything ranging from story statuses and recent developmental changes here. Please see this as a form of information base for all my stories. Any questions you have or ideas of development between my characters are all welcome. Next you should know that anything normally written is added. Anything in bold has here for some time. Anything italised is only for emphasis. Don't let it disturb you. . .I guess. Regarding Updates: 1) Differences Between Us! NEW CHAPTER 18 POSTED! 2) Updates for Hidden Between those Eyes is in progress. 2) Insanity is in delayed progress. But without saying it will take me undeniably long to update but if you’re still willing to read my stories regardless, then feel free. What writing here as taught me: 1) Finishing a story is hard! I have amounted a whole new level of respect to anyone who has finished their story, because now I know, after the initial surge of inspiration dies away, reality will sink its teeth into you and hurt you. Badly. Because you will realise just how far the road you have decided to travel is, and let me tell you it's so annoyingly far. I can see my starting line but the finishing line is nowhere to be seen except inside my own mind. Rather than a marathon, I found writing to be the stretch of an open road where you are able to determine your own start, but the ending mark is decided by the story itself. The only time you can draw the ending line yourself is the moment you quit. And I won't do that. I will let my stories lead me. It will take time but eventually I too will reach the finishing line. After all, the tip of the mountain always seems too far to be reached until your little pinkie is on it, right? 2) Writing regularly is difficult! Having to spent five days writing, one day proofreading and another day solely relaxing for the sole purpose of not riding myself mental with how much perseverance I’m squeezing out of brain. But of course I’m not that organised either so it ends up in four to five days relaxing and the reminding days trying to fix something based on my outlines and spending roughly one or two hours proofreading and fixing awkward sentences on the day I post. Horrible, I know. But that’s also how I used to pass all my exams and assignments. Note on the past tense. It takes time for me to lose bad habits, really. But no worries, I’m working on it. I’m aware that people believe that one should only write when inspired to prevent burning out but: A) I don’t believe in writer’s block, (just ideas webbed inside someone’s mind that one needs gradual untangling and stuff. There are many ways to do that by the way, and deciding not to write is not one of them). And B) if I were to do that, I will never get a single story done—and mind, I have number of stories planned and stuck on my wallpaper as a constant reminder that I need to get things finish so I can (finally) start some of them, and therefore I might ‘burn out’ a couple of times, disappear for weeks or months but always come back refreshed and with more chapters. So, don’t worry about that, it will play out somehow. Hopefully. . . 3) Creating believable and realistic romance is more than draining! It’s wrecking! You named it, I’m talking about ‘Hidden Behind those Eyes’. The amount of shoujo and josei manga I read for that is killing. All romcom movies, animes and youtube videos I have watched are maddening. Not to mention all of blog posts, tips, and psychological posts about attractions, falling in love and relationship troubles. . . I couldn’t relate them to my own personal experience so I googled for anything that might fit characters like those two troublesome A’s. I came up with pretty much more than a handful so all that’s left is to execute it to the best of my abilities, and yeah, you guessed it. It’s pretty hard, but like I said I’ll do my best. At stuff like that, I think, you close your eyes and pull through with as much as force as possible even if it leaves a couple of broken bones and blood splattered everywhere. . .possibly mine. Sorry for those images but thoughts like that are side effects of over-writing, so please bear with me. When intimate moments somehow become sloppy and extremely irritating due to the lack of progress of their excruciating, slow developing relationship, do tell me. I’ll do my best to fix it. Just tell me where and what’s lacking, or else I might re-craft the entire scene, or possible the entire chapter if I find it off, or I might even leave it the way it is if I can’t find what’s wrong with it. Yes, I can be that ignorant. And yes, I can also be that extreme when it comes to stuff like that—another thing writing here has taught me, it seems. Not only am I meticulous, picky and downright crazy, but also am I an unconventional perfectionist, well, if you can call it that. . . So, I am grateful, and certainly happy, every time someone leaves a suggestion or points out moments that could have been developed further, or ideas that haven’t even crossed my mind! So, I’d like you to know, anything is appreciated, feel free to drop a line, any time! The cover pictures I'm using belong to their rightful owners. Don't know who they are, though, unfortunately, if anyone knows please let me know, so I can credit them! (;) |
