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.

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.

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.

Also, I may be a pirate, but using legal MS Office is great. I got it as a free copy bought by my government (I work as government teacher). Having it on my device reduced the things I bring (notebooks, laptop, etc) with me to just my phone, where I type my manuscript drafts whenever I'm on the go.

Note: this is not an advertisement for MS Office.
