Waaaatcha doing right now? Part 14~

Nothing much. Which is annoying as I can think of many things I could be doing. Oh well, off we go then.

Watching over one of my gaming streams for DoA5 Last Round. Feeling frustrated with how much I get beat ...

Re-reading the volumes of Kakegurui. I've seen 3 episodes of the anime, and they're doing such a good job of adapting it! The visuals are amazing! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

Absorbing tranquility like plants absorb Sunlight

Drinking perked coffee, and thinking about doing some DoA5LR or researching Frame Data for the game/Ayane.

Treating my toe with antiseptic... (×﹏×)⌒☆ Even after all that karate, seems like I'm still not prepared for kendo.

Trying to unwind, which is not happening.

I have always had a poetic streak in me XDXD

Procrastinating.

You have your moments, of that I've no doubt.

It comes with being a story-teller I guess XD

Except. Sometimes no one takes me serious because of this level of story-telling creativity. I'm not necessarily trying to just entertain with the things that I say. <_<

Getting into manga, having done lots of anime today!

Wondering where that smell is coming from...

Unless you're a journalist or a starving would-be author with no other means of income, then basically, you write for yourself. Whether it's simply to see if you can, or to extricate whatever the gods or some air-borne spirit has placed within you, or for the sake of catharsis, voiding the surging waves of emotions - negative or positive - as some sort of self-help therapy, getting these feelings out of you and onto the paper, or to explore subconscious aspects of your psyche, you write for your own benefit. Should other people like & appreciate it is nothing more than a bonus.

Sorry, I'm rambling again...

Getting back from orientation

Whoa. That's deep! I would like to think that there would definitely be some psychology in some of the reasons behind why creative writers write in the way that they do.

Especially, like you said, for any bonuses that may become apparent. It could have a lot to do with loneliness, too.

Watching Spice and Wolf before going into work :3

Flicking my hair ever-so-nonchalantly.

That's a very, very good point. People who are quite lonely as kids or teens will often develop elaborate fantasy worlds, worlds which can birth writing. It's fundamentally a combination of imagination & experience, I guess, and a great means to channel any negativity and share any positivity.

As long as it helps and you enjoy doing it, great stuff!

One of my faves back in the day. You may well have prompted me to re-investigate!

Recovering from a migraine... And just when I finally got some free time, too... (×_×)⌒☆

@ShadowMikoto @BreakString SpinElf Writing is very cathartic, I think. ☆(°ㅂ°)ゞ I like reading about peoples' ideas and experiencing all of these different creative visions and such. Great fun!

Attempting to learn something new.

@Akamanto - you're absolutely spot on. Human creativity is wonderful and the ability to share that creativity - along with lessons learned from experience - is a formidable one. Plus, as a reader, it's always fascinating to see how people construct stories, arguments and accounts through skillful use of the written word.

Watching RIN-NE and .Hack Roots interchangeably. :3

@Break String SpinElf It would make sense that kids would develop an inner exploitative nature such as developing higher levels of creativity through both their preferred interests combined with their imaginations, being lonely. I have always found that fun was more than what one does on a surface level, but can also be executed, in even more levels of entertainment, from within. :3

@Akamanto I am the same! :D Love viewing other peoples creative visions online. This is one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, why I continue to watch/read anime and manga so much.

Nothing much, as per usual :D

@ ShadowMikoto: absolutely! People are born with a capacity for imagination - so why not use it? That's pretty much how every great invention, song, work of literature & theatrical opus has come into being.

Pondering on my existence, and why I was born...

@Break String SpinElf It is both a natural and a gift to have a creative imagination. For sure! :D

Hearing sirens.

Migraines are no fun, Akamanto! You women are tougher than we are (Mai, Shizuru, Natsuki-THEY ALL PROVE IT!), so I bet you can handle it.

Hi, everyone. :)
I'm new here. Very very new to the Mai-verse fandom indeed, can you believe? Yeah.
I'm currently in the midst of trying to explore this forum.
I hope we get along. :)
