Just another novice writer from Japan (well, 4-5 generations ago), while I currently reside in Hawaii. 

It's been well over a hundred years, yet my family has remained pure Japanese, as am I! I'm really prideful about that, as you should be about yours! ;3 

It takes me a while to submit new chapters because I feel pretty insecure about my writings, therefore do not share them often (at all). I also take a very long time to type things out because I am constantly trying to improve my vocabulary, and so am using my thesaurus very often (that is a pain!)

But besides that, life as a writer has been pretty good. I had a stroke when I was 15 1/2, which put me in critical condition thrice, and I am extremely lucky that I didn't end up unable to type or worse. I'm a Gemeni, Year of the Horse, and I love my fancier fountain pens, because sometimes it's better to use paper for writing (So why not use a + $100 pen?! ) Anyways, that's all for now! See ya later!
