I Found My New Death Note Fix: Liar Game~

This message is short and sweet since it’s been a long time since I’ve written a post that is not Gorgeous Geek-related. I have found my new obsession aka my new Death Note fix in Liar Game. I also discover a couple of shoujo manga to read but none of them are up to Liar Game material yet. Depending on how this manga ends, I might have to put it higher than Death Note. Maybe. ^^ For now, it’s my second favorite manga (after Fruits basket) so we’ll see how it goes from here

Last but not least, Akiyama for the win ^_____________^

Bakuman Chapter 19 Thoughts; Sweet Heart Parody for Marissa~

To Gorgeous Geek Fans:

THANK YOU EIJI! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT QUOTE!!!

Eiji is probably one of my favorite characters from Bakuman just for this line. XD I can totally relate to him. It’s amazing. Believe it or not, my characters have a tendency to just move on their own. Most of the time, I write a loose outline but not for the characters. I write an outline for the plot (the non-existent one). Most of the conversations in my chapters are not scripted, not thought of, not planned out. In other words, the characters talk on their own.

However, Eiji forgot to mention one important thing that every author or mangaka should know. As a writer, you cannot let your characters go out of control… into a direction that is not healthy for the story. For example, if I let my Quinn do what he wants for SH, he would have raped Theresa twice in Part II. Of course, as a writer, I knew this wouldn’t benefit my story in any way and it makes it hard for Quinn to redeem himself in Part III so I never wrote those scenes out. To tell you the truth, it’s the same with KT. If I let him do what he wants, he would have almost abused Jamie at one point in the story (I won’t tell where though!). Therefore, it is nice to let the characters move your story but it is not okay to let them move your story in a negative light. Anyways, to read my thoughts on Bakuman Chapter 19, go here.

Thank you Marissa for her Christmas Present. In return, I wrote this up quickly. A SH Parody for her. What lies in it? It’s a secret. You have to read it and find out Marissa. Thank you a lot! Sweet Heart Christmas Present.

Bakuman Chapter 18 Thoughts! Minnie is Deprived of Inspiration…

To Minnie’s Readers:

Shujin+Saiko+Hattori= Perfect Team to Win Against Eiji?

I adored the Bakuman chapter this week. It’s a very dramatic one if I must say so myself. Anyways, to read the usual review, go here. I love Eiji a lot. I love Shujin and Saiko too so I don’t know what to do. Can’t they all be friends and dance around in a Misa/Light/L circle? I really like that scene by the way…

Anyhoo, I feel like I should type something since I am sorely lacking in inspiration. It’s like one of those moments in a writer’s life when he or she lack too much inspiration to type anything at all. This usually happens to me at the 1/3 point. I don’t know why it’s happening sooner for Gorgeous Geek. I can’t get myself to really finish the last few pages of Honey Pie Chapter Two either because of this “burned out” moment. I’m lost to be frank. I want to rewrite “Spirits New Era” from the very beginning. I’ve already done so for the first two chapters. I want to rewrite “Sweet Heart” and “Spirits” as well. Then, out of nowhere, I have a new idea for a story called “Classy and Cool”. I like the thought of it but I have too many work on my hands already. I have written quite a bit for “After Sweet Heart” as well.

In conclusion, I am all over the place. I am going back to school again… new environment, new college, etc in January. I have a month to type a lot of Gorgeous Geek before then. I will force myself to write hardcore for Gorgeous Geek like I did with Sweet Heart because of a deadline. However, I feel like I should give myself another break so I’ll be marathoning animes and blogging for Hey, Say, Anime! If you guys need to ask me anything or wish me luck, please drop me a comment. I appreciate it!
