Hmm, right. Well if you find it, you're free to chat with me on Skype until/unless something comes up. My activity here will be a bit sporadic.

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
So how are you doing mate

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
Mostly same old -- going through some notes, dealing with fatigue, et cetera. Apart from being tired, how about you?

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
Not much really. Just on here and dA for the time being.

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
Fair enough. I guess lemme know how that RPG idea goes once you've got an idea if it'll help or not.

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
Yeah I doubt it will to be honest lel

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
Might not be worth even doing if it likely won't help.

@tsukune
Still having the same issues with classes?

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
I'm out of ideas lel

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
Unfortunately there's not a lot I can suggest, since issues of writer's block and general motivation are a very personal issue. I've seen far too many writers give up on their projects when they don't even have to deal with the type of workload hurdle I've got to overcome.

On my end, I don't suffer from writer's block or motivation issues at all -- the backlog of notes I need to recover and sort is legitimately the only barrier between me and actually writing my story. I'd easily have novels worth of content written within days if it wasn't for that problem.

@Shoryu Magami
I'm not gonna give up on the story because of a little writer's block lel I might go back to trying to make it a manga though.

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
It's definitely good to have that stubborn attitude towards it; however, working out a way to make it happen is important too. The manga option is one possibility, if you're willing to put in the time to draw it all.

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
I love to draw, but the problem is that I suck, which is slowly ripping away at my enthusiasm to actually draw lel

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
A lot of people tell me they can't draw well, but I really do think it's something people can learn. There's a lot of tutorials out there which serve as a good start for those willing to put the time into building their skill. Unless you've got some sort of physical condition that'll get in the way - like I unfortunately do, but more that it hurts to draw instead of prevents me from doing it - then you should be able to develop what you need.

@Shoryu Magami
I basically just go looking on some booru site and try to imitate poses with my characters instead. lel I don't do well with drawing tutorials, to be honest.

[tsukune]

@Shoryu Magami
Ah, hi. I'm having exams till around 19th, hence the silence and all.

Unfortunately, I have pretty much lost most hopes to work in groups or teams with my schoolmates. I just do the work myself, and I don't hold back to put a remark in my report about those who never contribute at all. I'm tired trying to be nice to people who just don't deserve it, when I have better things to worry about.

[NekoMizu]

@tsukune
Teachers should just not assign group projects, since most of the time only one person does the work in their group.

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
To be honest, I've never used a drawing tutorial before - and I wasn't really taught in school or anything - but it's too bad that they don't help you.

@tsukune
No need to worry about being silent -- I understand this is a busy time.

Honestly, if they're not going to put any effort into the projects then you might as well call them out for it.

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
Eh, I'll eventually get better (even if only slightly) I'm sure. Especially if I get motivated to draw a lot again.

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
I think the important thing is to actually have confidence, or else you won't get the motivation to improve.

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
True. Well I'm gonna go to sleep lel good night mate
