Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, I Have No Title

 Heigh-ho, 

It's been a hot second since I posted so I hope you didn't miss me too much. (jk... unless?)

So, I plan on posting the Mermaid analysis later this week, but I might have dived too deep into the story...? It was really interesting trying to find symbols throughout the story, and reading what some of you have already posted was insightful. I especially liked how the 'fins' could be a symbol for free-thinking!

Anyways, I wanted to write about how I haven't had the time to do any creative writing lately. I've been working on an original story for the past few months, like doing intensive world-building, doing character studies, researching, and that kind of stuff? But because of university, I've been neglecting it a lot... The document has been collecting dust for the past few weeks even though I've been writing bits and pieces of what I wanted to add to the story on the back of my notebook. I really hope I could find some time this month (or at least Golden Week) to pick it up again. I also need to update a lot of my other works... 💀💀💀

But I also wanted to share how me and my group of friends made a Visual Novel! It's been a project we've been working on for the past three, maybe four, months and we finally finished it! Even right now, while I'm writing all of this, I still can't believe that it's real. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that people will be playing this game--will be reading what I wrote?! Like, hello? I'm just... so excited? Everyone on the team was so talented, and seeing the progress from Day 1 felt so humbling because I managed to experience firsthand what it must be like for people in the industry. The amount of thought, time, and work it takes to make something from start to finish...

When I was watching the Mermaid, I was thinking about how long it must have taken to make something like that. It was roughly seven minutes long but how long did it take for that idea to be fleshed out, to turn that one single thought into the lines and colors we all saw on the screen? And while I always held artists in high regard, I think I have a newfound respect for creatives now...

Also, the wind today was really nice. :D Well, for now, that's all I have to say.

Hasta luego or whatever,
Your Broski(???)
