Me, browsing the art section and seeing drawings done with pen tablet: ?
Then I remember I can only draw with pen and paper: ?
Yeah, my hands are shaky.

Really nice morning back here!
Also, I plan to write a few more today, before resting. I'm a few chapters more before ending my rewritten V20. ?
And yeah, for those who are curious;
Arc 1 of the Saint Series is your classic, medieval Europe-inspired adventure isekai. Arc 2 is kingdom building. Arc 3 is school isekai, with strong pattern of events from WW1. Arc 4 is political isekai. Arc 5 is business isekai.
I did say to make goals for writing, so I said, "I'll create an isekai where every major theme is included." And, here we are. XD
Ahem...
Wrote another 4.1k words today, so it's a chapter for my standards. Also, let me talk for a bit about my rewritten V20. This is actually my original vision for my 5th arc, though because of stress of work and home, I 'took' the shortcut and made a mess of the current V20. I'm having fun writing about business strategies and techniques; to which, I realized, Sun Tzu is right. Business is like war.
Now i think about it, i'm happy that you are finally doing the advice of the song i gave you while ago
Shit. I vented out in the wrong thread. Lol
Any case, bonjour peeps! ?
Ah, anyway, thanks for dropping for my Ted talk. I'm getting sleepy, and I still have a Cookery class to teach later.
See ya, and have a great day. ?
Another glaring flaw of my Saint Series work is its MC, Kuro. He is a prude, and a lot of readers say he is a 'doormat,' or 'beta.'
Well, my culture frowns at unrestricted casual sex prevalent in isekai novels, though I don't deny it is happening in our society too.
Add to that, Kuro's idealism towards his job as a teacher, and he ends like that.
One of the glaring flaws of my work is its format. I've received feedbacks saying it is good, though I originally written the Saint Series with light novels in mind, hence the long-ass, intimidating walls of texts prevalent in that novel of mine.
Well, got no plans to change it. I love writing that way, compared to how I wrote my other novel, Paulina Rex, geared for webnovel audiences.
As an author, I have the benefit of being a teacher, thus, I can observe people's behaviors which I then combine and translate to the personalities of my characters.
I'm a sucker for a dash of realism in my OCs, see?
Another question being asked often to me:
Student: Sir, your drawings are great. Why don't you do comics or manga instead?
Me: I did so before, but writing a chapter without an assistant takes an incredibly big amount of my time. So instead of spending 8 months for a 40-page chapter, I switched to novel. At least I can create a book every other month or two
Also, I think I'll go overboard with my original book count for my novel series. The main storyline was about to reach 21 volumes, once I finished my rewrite.
I planned four volumes for the prequel series, and one for a sequel.
Student: Sir, your story must have many readers!
Me: On the contrary, I struggle to find readers who'd stay till the end.
Student: Then why continue writing for something unpopular?
Me: Nowadays? I want to accomplish something.
Wrote 10k words today. My rewritten V20 is going along just fine.
NGL, I sometimes scale the walls of our school whenever I'm late for class.
I'm the teacher. ??
My students won't stop or take a break while they are doing their activities, even when it's already their recess.
My solution?
I threaten to fail them if they won't take a break. A good study session includes the right time to rest. ??
I nearly locked myself out of my car. Good thing the alarm reminds me when I left the keys inside.
Good car alarm. ???
I love this cute Christmas keychain I brought. The soft glow brings some 'home-y warmth'.
Not to mention, establishing an exercise routine, eating healthy and proper sleep hours, too.
And, letting go of things I have no control. ?
Changing my views on life really helped me recover from my previous breakdown. From being a miser, I started looking on the nice side of things. And being grateful for what I have helps, too.
Yes, there are some things I lack, but I also have things I am thankful for. -
