10 More Powerful Tips For Instant Writing Motivation
Writing Motivation is like the Holy Grail for Writers. We all forgot where the first guy put it. So, we have to spend the rest of our lives creating counterfeit copies. If you’ve already seen my other articles on the topic, you know my system for motivation. But there are some more that I felt I could add. How can you increase your writing motivation then? You can increase writing motivation by redirecting your goals to more simple goals. This is a simple thing to say, but for many others, it is not something they consider, because for them, writing is more of a punishment then anything else. Writing Motivation- Why Am I Not Motivated To Write? You are not motivated to write because you are taking on far more than is natural for a writer on your first try. There are a number of times you will lose motivation to write. For this case, we will concentrate on the situation where you have started writing, but now, you can’t get yourself to get back to finishing the book. The reason that this is happens is that you are taking on a lot more than is necessary. When we get an inspiration for a book, we hurriedly start writing the book down. A day passes down, and we do an insane amount of progress. Maybe writing Stephen King’s famous 6 pages. Then you suppose this is easier than you imagine. In fact, you can probably finish about 60 pages of your book in just 10 days, you think to yourself. The following day, you wake up, and decide to make coffee first, look at a Twitter post first, check out a meme first, and finally, you find you have not written anything for your writing session. You were successful on the first time because you went to write with one goal in mind “sit down, and write what I feel like writing”. Then you allowed the flow to take over. The second day, your goal was to “sit down, and write 6 pages.” This is bad advice. So why do people keep doing it? There is this poisonous idea that people have called no pain no gain. They believe that they should feel the difficulty of the fight, and they should “conquer” themselves. This “hardness” of writing makes them feel like they are doing hard work. The No Pain No Gain Mindset effects on Writing Motivation Point #1- Pain Improves Happiness Now, this has some weight to it to an extent. A study conducted in San Francisco University found that ‘No Pain No Gain’ applied when it came to learning mastering a new skill. Putting up with the pain and stress of the moment, led to a long term happiness. The summarized saying, “People who work hard at improving a skill or ability, such as mastering a math problem or learning to drive, may experience stress in the moment, but experience greater happiness on a daily basis and longer term.” Point #2- Physical Pain Decreases Productivity However, there is another study I found called ‘The dangers of the no pain no gain mentality in modern exercises‘. The study found that most people have a mentality of no pain no gain, which leads to them working harder in spite of their injury. This then leads to them worsening their own injuries. Now to be fair, this study was focused on physical pain. So what about baring emotional pain? Does that help improve productivity? Point #3- Emotional Yelling Decreases Productivity The University of Pittsburgh led a study trying to see the effects of yelling on adolescents. “Yelling Doesn’t Help, May Harm Adolescents, Pitt-Led Study Finds” is the title of the study, so I’m not sure who would like me to go on. The study is found here if you wish to do further reading. Point #4- Stress Decreases Productivity Finally, a study was conducted to observe the burden of pain on employees working for the Fortune 500 companies. The found that pain led to 45% drop in overall physical health, and 23% mental health, there was a fivefold increase in health-induced limitations in work performance, and finally, nearly three and two thirds workdays lost to presenteeism and absenteeism over a 4-week period. The concluded, “The prevalence of pain and it’s impact on those with the condition combine to make it an area of much opportunity for improving workforce health and productivity.” To read the full study, click here. The point is, suffering should be bared. However, suffering does not induce productivity. It may cause satisfaction, but not r not productivity. The tricks I am about to teach you may be less satisfying, but they sure as hell will lead to productivity. How do you build motivation to write? 1. Punishing Good Behavior Hurts Writing Motivation The first mental shift is to stop wanting to punish yourself for failing to live up to your ambitions. Sometimes, a person can have a goal. Maybe write a chapter. The following day, they wake up, and for one reasons or another, they do not write the chapter. So as a punishment, they decide that they will write the 2 chapters the following day. Do not do this. You wanting to write 1 chapter is a good thing. As a result, you must not punish yourself when you fail to live up to this. When you miss the goal you placed, you did not do anything. When you set the goal, you did something. Do not punish the setting of goals. When you fail to do something good, there is a number of things that you can do to make up for it, which will be discussed in this article. However, the one thing that you must make sure that you do is not punish that good behavior. 2. Rewarding The Behavior You Want Helps Writing Motivation The second mindset shift is that you must begin to reward good behavior, in spite of its results. The
How To Write Even When Depressed (For Writers)- The Fairy Method
Among the writers in the Iowa Workshop study, essentially all of them reported that they were unable to work creatively during periods of depression or mania. Nancy C Andreason There is a few things in the world that I actually know intimately, and it so happens that when it comes to this topic, I did not need to do research to know the answers. I already developed a strategy for it, and I call it the fairy method. This is because it almost feels like I am not the one doing the work, and I hired a fairy to come do all the work for me. But do not worry. Of course, I did the research anyway. This is my answer for writers though. Planning at your most energetic, making an execution system, creating work times, and keeping physically active will help you remain productive even in your depressed states. These are the best ways to increase your productivity, in my opinion. Especially considering the fact that studies show that these steps deal with the problem you face as a depressed writer. “During depressive episodes their cognitive fluency and energy were decreased, and during manic periods they were too distractible and disorganized to work effectively.” DR nancy C ANDREASON Can Writing Affect Your Depression? Writers guide Writing requires that you make abstract representations from reality, which can incite melancholy when seeing reality again. When I was first struck by the blues, it was writing that helped me get better. However, it was not writing stories, but writing songs that was useful for me. I would later start writing books, which was also helpful in making me grow as a writer. But research does not seem to agree that writing helps decrease depression. On her investigative paper, Depression and Creative Writing Students, Jen Webb was trying to investigate why her creative writing students seemed to be suffering from mental distress so often, versus other students. First of all, she learned that creative students do tend to have worse mental health. It was discovered by Psychiatrist kay Redfield that there was a relationship between affective disorders, and creativity. At some point, eight per cent of the writers suffered from some affective disorder, unlike the thirty per cent of the control group. Anyway, what is of interest to us is that she hypothesizes that the reason for this has to do with writers needing to constantly be daydreaming. She quotes Romano Alberti, who said that “Painters become melancholics because, wishing to imitate, they must retain the phantasms fixed in the intellect, so that afterward they can express them in the way they first saw them when present…. They keep their minds so much abstracted and separated from nature that consequently melancholy derives from it.” (Alberti, cited in Agamben 25) According to this article, some pharmaceutical intervention is necessary.. A psychiatrist to. “Overall, these results suggest that adequate and appropriate treatment is likely to be helpful for the majority of creative people.” I too advise you do that, to be frank. However, if you are cheap like me, and have no money, then there must be something else you can try. Something else that I did. How can it be fixed according to me? For me, I merely started to change my physical environment. I took advantage of those times i felt positive, and tried to find a way to store, and unleash all that creative energy, even at my darkest pits. Really, the one thing that is guaranteed to work for us is creativity. If we bring our worlds alive, we breathe life into ourselves. At least that’s what did it for me. How To Write When You Are Sad? For Writers 1. Writers Should Make Plans During Your Highs The first step is to start making plans when you feel at your most energetic. What I had noticed is that there were times in my life when I would be planning a story. The story would be exciting to me, and I found I could not wait to start writing. But for one reasons or another, I could not write at that moment. Maybe I was on the commute home from school, or I was already in bed. Then, when I finally get the opportunity to begin writing, I am not in the mood anymore. I had to find a way to “store” my excitement, and my good energy. Planning was that way. This technique helps for even morbid circumstances, like the blues. When you are at your most energetic, do not just use those days to write books. Instead, make a number of outlines for future projects you have in mind. Try to make them as detailed as possible. Be like the ant who stores food for the winter, because trust me. Winter is coming. (Yes. Yes I did give my self a high five for that one.) 2. Writers Should Create Systems The second step is to start making systems to execute your plans. This time, I was inspired by machines and Atomic Habits. Basically, it does not matter if your have an extremely detailed plan if you have no intention of actually executing the said plan. So how can you make sure that you manage to execute the plan? Create systematic steps for you to take when executing the plan. Foe me, a system is something that has an input, a process, and an output. Like some sort of shredder machine. There is the paper as input. Then the process when you place the papers into the shredder, and it is shredder. The output is no more proof of humiliating begging text messages. The same 4 steps follow in your system. Your input is the outline that you have made. Your process should be the step by step process you take when writing. For me, I hate seeing an empty page. So I go online and search for words that I could possibly use (words that describe the
One Piece Review: Why is it So Popular? Should You Watch It? Classic or Crash Test?
So yeah. One Piece is kind of a big deal of sorts. This is obvious from its record sales numbers. But for those who are still wondering why, that’s no problem. We can explain it all right now. One Piece is popular because it has a killer storyline, a gripping mystery, charming characters with a phenomenal world building. This is all wrapped together with an impactful storytelling that takes the reader to cheering emotional eyes, and teary heartbreaking lows. That is surprisingly simpler than I thought it would be. If you still find yourself confused by this explanation, that’s also fine. We can get right into it. Why Is One Piece So Popular? 1. Killer Storyline One Piece is a great adventure story. An adventure is a story in which the main conflict of the story can only be solved through extensive travel. One Piece is such a story, as the main conflict for our main character is a desire to be free. Finally, the goal of the main character, finding the One Piece, is one that can only be accomplished through travel. Further, the world is built in such a way that we further empathize with our main character. The places they visit have people living in abhorrent situations due to tyrannical governments, and kings. This makes Luffy’s dream more appealing, and additionally, it creates a certain cohesion between the main character’s motivation, the villains, and the setting. Internal story consistency is something that readers look for a lot in story telling, because it allows you to immerse yourself further into the story. Seeing One Piece’s success, we know this to be a strategy that works. 2. Mystery One Piece has captivating mystery One of the most important part of writing is creating a desire for the readers to turn the page. The only way to create this desire is by implanting questions in the readers mind. And what imposes questions in a readers mind better than mystery? One Piece is an onion of questions. From the very first chapter, till the present, there are still questions that are being raised. When you read the first chapter of One Piece, the first question you ask yourself is ‘What is the One Piece’. Then the second question becomes, ‘How will this rubbery boy manage to be a pirate if he can’t swim’. Interestingly, this was a point that was harped on a lot at the beginning of this story. Yet the more One Piece we read, the more we come to realize how little of an obstacle that actually was. Of course Oda knew that, but he still brought up the question in the readers mind, a question that you will realize is a nothing burger only after having read 200 chapters. By that point, a million more questions have been raised by the plot. ‘Who are the World Government?’ ‘What is the Ancient Kingdom’s name?’ ‘Who are the Gorosei?’ ‘What is the Will of the D?’ And finally, what the living hell is the One Piece, and what does it have to do with all these conspiracies?! As you can see, the questions that are raised end up expanding the world, the stakes, and the breadth of the realism in the world. But at the same time, the story remains the same at heart because it is still just a story about a boy who cannot swim but still wants to be free. 3. Characters One Piece has fantastical characters, who feel so human. One Piece is filled with characters who have the most bizarre looks, and the strangest of personality quirks. It is the kind of thing that would turn of any reader, or at least it should, but not with One Piece. How did Oda manage to do this? The simple answer is trust. When you read the earliest chapters of One Piece, you’ll find that most of the characters are normal. Yes, they may have a strange quirk, like the guy who likes moonwalking, and hypnotizing himself, but their general appearance is mostly human. This was because Oda was aware that his readers had to first learn to trust him, and his writing. Oda wrote characters who had such compelling stories that by the time we reached the exotic lands, we have learned to trust him. Now, if he draws a strange looking character, not only will One Piece fans not laugh at the design, but they will take it so seriously, they will start making theories about it. Today, there is a serious theory in the community that this fat guy actually has three people in him, and part of what is used to back up this theory is the weird way his missing teeth are often drawn. 4. Worldbuilding One Piece has one of the best worldbuilding in fiction. Adventure stories are the closest we will ever get to dreams, and Oda takes full advantage of this. There are few worlds in fiction as wide, and diverse as One Piece’s world. In this world, we have desert kingdoms on one end, and on the other, we have underwater kingdoms. We have cloud cities on one, and on the other we have kingdoms made purely out of food. We have all sorts of wonders, and mystiques. Consequentially, there is a constant feeling that you cannot predict what will come next, but you can’t wait to find out. What makes this work is that Oda takes great care to flesh out every little island that we visit so that it gets as close as possible to being real. For example, people on the cloud cities have their own form of greeting, and their own technology. Also, people on the snack kingdom have mayors who specialize on the specific snack the town is. For example, the mayor of the chocolate town can make chocolates. This creates a bizarre, yet believable setting, since of course the mayor will need to be able to bake the road, or
Is the One Piece Manga finished? Why Is One Piece So Long?
After all the One Piece content I’ve been writing, I couldn’t help but notice something. One piece manga is long. Now, this is something people complain about all the time when you suggest they watch One Piece. Is One Piece finished? Why is One Piece so long? And finally, why must the universe care so little about us? I can’t answer the last one, but I may have an inkling for the answer of the first two. One piece is primarily as long as it is because Eiichiro Oda got more ideas as he was writing the story, leading to a bigger world, diverse character cast, and thrilling plot lines. Because he did not want to keep these from the readers, he added them into the story. Initially, One Piece was meant to be a story that took place over 5 years. It would have featured the Yonko pirates as the main villains. However, Oda got the idea of the Shichibukai. These are the seven pirate warlords who serve as antagonists for the main character, Luffy, and they expanded the story. Then, he added the 12 supernovas, who further increased the length of the story to over 20 years. This is best explained through these following topic lines. Let’s get right into it: Why Is One Piece so Long? 1. Preparation for Manga by Anime producers One Piece anime are deliberately made long so that they can give the manga time to get ahead from the main story. One of the most well known secrets in the anime community is that the anime are filled with fillers. The stories that you read in the manga are different from the final product that you get in the anime. This is because the stories of the manga are made by the author himself, while the anime is an adaptation of the manga. But in most cases, anime are serialized simultaneously with the manga. If you’ve ever heard of Game of Thrones, you know what kind of problems this can lead too. Usually, the anime catches up to the manga, and they have no more work to adapt. So they create their own story to give the manga time to get ahead. These stories created by anime studios instead of the authors are called fillers. They are terrible and above all, they bloat out the story. That’s what happened to One Piece. 2. Plot Thickening One Piece’s story plots thicken. As mentioned earlier, Eiichiro Oda decided to add in more villains, and more worldbuilding. This increases the length of the story, and thus, One Piece becomes longer. 3. Popularity Finally, One Piece became popular. If you’ve been watching Disney for the last couple of years, you know that there is an additional law of physics that Newton left out. The higher the popularity of a series, the more useless adaptations, and marketing schemes the owners of that series will create. One Piece has grown in popularity, and completely blown other comic books out of the water. It beat pretty much every other manga series, even Dragon Ball Z. Then it proceeded to wage war against western comic series like Batman, and Spiderman. And it won these wars. Finally, it is facing it’s last titan, Superman. As soon as it beats Superman, One Piece will be the most selling comic series of all time. So what do you think the magazine that owns this giant will do? Obviously indulge the creator of the series to pad out the story with as much pointless detours as it sees fit. How Long will One Piece continue? One Piece is going to end within the next 5 years. So it will end in either 2027 or 28. There has been a number of times when Oda predicted One Piece would end. However, this time seems to be real. In a 2019 interview with Fischer, a comedy group, Oda stated that he wanted to end One Piece in 5 years. He had also mentioned in a 2018 Yomiuri Shimbun interview that One Piece was 80% finished, so these two things align. Finally, the recent pace with which the manga has been flying is neck breaking. The Wano Arc abandoned a number of plot points, like Zoro’s parentage, and instead flew into the final battle with Kaido. The battle concluded so fast, people could not believe the main villain was actually defeated until many chapters after. And right now, a lot is happening in the One Piece world, still travelling at the same speeds. In conclusion, observing Oda’s corresponding timelines, and the pace of the story now, we can safely assume that One Piece will probably really end by 2027-28. What Writers Can Learn From Is The One Piece Manga Over? There is a lot that can be said about the succcess of One Piece, but one thing that stands out to me is the comparison of One Piece to Batman. One Piece officially outsold every single batman issue that’s been sold. This is crazy to consider, especially looking at the content. One Piece is this playful story with cartoonish character, and its even written in a different language. Yet it dominates the world, without the additional push of live-action movie adaptations, and the American market. This should teach all writers that the most important thing in a story… is the story. No matter how different, or unique your story idea is, it does not matter. What matters is how congruent, and stable the story is, thematically, and internally. If readers can see this in your story, they will know whey are dealing with someone whose on their way to mastering mastery.
Is Kingdom manga worth reading? Why Is Kingdom so popular?
So I started a new manga a while back, called Kingdom. Ever since then, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people about what I think on it. Specifically, I’ve been getting asked whether Kingdom is a manga worth getting into. So basically, why is the Kingdom manga so reverred? Why is it so respected? And why is it so loved by its fans? I don’t know about other people, but for me, I believe it is rather simple. Kingdom is a popular manga series because of its heavy realism, which gives it’s characters a sturdy realness and charm, and it’s villains a truly potent sense of intimidation and power. However, the greatest reason will have to be the battles. Kingdom’s battles are extremely advanced, and epic spectacles that keep you on the edge of your seat due to the charm of your heroes, and the dread the villains give you. Finally, Kingdom is popular due to it’s story. Not only is it a retelling of a famous historical time period in China, but also it is told through many turns, and unexpected subversions of typical manga tropes. Though I tried to do my best, I am sure that the explanation needs a more detailed explanation. Therefore, in this article, we will be covering: Why You Should Read/ Watch the Kingdom manga 1. Realism Kingdom feels very real. One of the most common compliment that the TV show ‘Game of Thrones’ used to receive was that it felt real. This is why many people liked it. There are a number of reasons given as to why the viewers felt like that. The nudity was one reason, another being the morally grey characters, and the detailed world building. But the most interesting reason given was that no one was safe. Game of Thrones felt real because anyone could die. That is the perfect description of Kingdom. Anyone can die in the Kingdom manga Kingdom is a story that feels like anything is possible. The world of Kingdom is detailed, since it is a story that takes place in the real Ancient China. This means that most characters in the world have to consider the world whenever they take actions. They have to consider if they will have enough food for a journey, or military campaign. Characters have to consider the weather, and whether their men have enough rest before the next battle. They even have to consider the morale of their fighters. It is not uncommon for numerical superior armies to lose a battle against an inferior army, merely because the men did not have the same moral level. Kingdom feels real because the world feels real, and it seems anyone could die. Consequentially, it makes us get closer to our main characters, and fear for their lives more, while making us cheer for their successes more. Which leads us to the next point. 2. Kingdom manga Characters The characters are charming, captivating, and awe-inspiring, sometimes they are all these together. There is a reason why an author may not want to make their world feel too real; either than ability. If the world is real, then the characters themselves will be judged by the readers on real standards. Readers are going to ask if they like a character or not as a person. And most people are not that charismatic. So are kingdom characters charismatic? Absolutely. The likable ones are interesting The main characters that we follow are some of the most self-less, warm, and entertaining people you will meet. To watch them interact feels so cozy, like how you would feel with your real friends. Add to that the additional charisma that these characters have and you find yourself constantly surrounded by a charismatic bunch. Take Shin for example, our lead character. He starts of the story as a slave boy, and yet, you could never tell. From the time he was a child till today, he and his best friend, Huo, have always had a dream. To be great generals. This is so that they can win their freedom. Watching this character push through his life with a cheerful personality, and constantly chasing his goal, literally never stopping to cry and pity himself, is an inspirational sight that can only be experienced as you read the story. The non likeable ones are interesting Additionally, some characters are not likeable in Kingdom, yet they are not any less captivating. When they appear on screen, it is hard to look away. Such a character is Ousen. This character is not likeable. He is always serious, and literally never jokes. He also does not have extreme anger like Moubu, which can be amusing, nor does he have extreme seriousness like other characters. Instead, Ousen is just emotionless, this blandness being heightened by his face mask. Yet whenever Ousen does make an appearance in a chapter, that is never a boring chapter. He is always followed by some shenanigan’s, and it is captivating to see him use his mind to solve unrealistic situations. The awe-inspiring characters are… well, awe-inspiring Finally, you have the awe-inspiring characters. There are few characters in fiction that have a weight to them, and Ouki is one of those characters. The mention of his name makes other characters in the story stumble, and it is so weird, because it makes even me, the reader, start. This shows you just how much weight this character has. Kingdom has a number of characters like this throughout its story, which makes it hard to hate any of the characters. Even the villains. Speaking of which… 3. The Villains Kingdom’s villains are tragic, sympathetic, frightening, and despicable. Kingdom has some of the most fleshed out villains that you could ever read about in fiction, who carry a certain energy to them in the plot. The technique that Yasuhisa Hara uses to make sure his villain’s weight felt throughout the story is distinct introductions. When Kingdom begins, we already on the
Here Is How To Know You Have Anime Addiction
Once more I am sitting in my writing desk where I’ve reviewed tons of anime for the past few months, and I’m thinking to myself, why do people get addicted to anime? So I did a bit of research, and I found that people get addicted to anime for a lot more reason then I imagined. Simply put its something like this. You May Also Like: Anime Depression: Causes, Symptoms And How To Kick Its Apples Anime has fun settings, diverse characters who have intriguing personality traits, and bizarre but entertaining plots. It is also easy to access, since you can watch it from your bed. Compound these two points with mental unhealthy practices that social seclusion induces, such as anxiety and depression, and you have yourself an anime addict. However, even if these criteria are met, it does not automatically mean a person is an anime addict. Read on to learn what effects point to an anime addiction, whether it is something to worry about, and how to help yourself or a loved one overcome anime addiction. Let’s get into it: What are the signs of Anime Addiction? While the first mentioned points are a worthy indication of anime addiction, the best indication to look for is anime consumption. Anime is not like a drug, or alcohol; it can’t be quantified with physical measurements. However, there is still a way of checking excessive consumption of anime by comparing it to TV. Anime and TV are similar, and most research I’ve found says that the healthy amount of TV to be watched is somewhere between 2-3 and a half hours. So exactly, how much anime is that? Luckily, I’ve done some research. Anime Seasons length Episode number 1 Episode length Total minute duration Episode number Fullmetal Alchemist 2 51 23,04 1175,04 19,6 Death Note 2 37 22,57 835,09 13,9 Cowboy Bebop 1 26 24,17 628,42 10,5 Bleach 17 366 24,04 8799 146,6 Naruto 5 220 22,40 4928 82,1 Neon Genesis Evangelion 1 26 23,23 603,98 10,1 Elfen Lied 1 13 25,12 326,56 5,4 Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 1 14 24,42 341,88 5,7 Spirited Away 1 1 125,00 125 2,1 Princess Mononoke 1 1 133,00 133 2,2 Average 3 seasons 94 episodes 24 minutes 1790 minutes 30 hours We’ve gathered a number of anime from ANN Anime Top 50 most viewed anime. By aggravating the data, this is what we found. The average anime episode is 23 minutes, and the movies are 2 hours long. So that would be about 9 episodes. That is how much anime a person is supposed. So if you’d like to know whether you, or a loved one, are suffering from anime addiction, then you just need to ask them; have they finished an anime season in a day recently? If the answer is yes, then that is a possible sign of addiction. However, it is worth mentioning that finishing over 9 episodes of anime a day does not necessarily make the person an addict. If a person has a free day, they can finish a season of anime. The problem begins when they do that over multiple days. If they were to do that, it could lead to a number of consequences. What are the consequences of Anime Addiction? 1. Constantly Tired Due to a constant lack of sleep, it would only be natural that you would find yourself having less energy if you spend hours watching anime. In a lot of cases, anime addicts would watch anime all the way into the night, then again the whole morning. Anime addiction leads people to have less sleep, and less exercise, thus they end up feeling weaker. 2. Loss of Interest in Socializing Another downside is that people who are addicted to anime may only have a desire to spend their time watching anime. This means they end up having no desire to socialize, and that leads to other problems. Firstly, you never learn how to properly socialize yourself. This makes social interactions harder for you, and thus, you end up not wanting to engage in social interactions. This leads to loneliness, and can lead to you relieving that loneliness with anime, which is the thing that put you in this situation in the first place. 3. Grades Failing Spending too much time on anime means that you would not have enough time to spend on your studies, and so anime addicts can also see their marks falling. 4. Behaving Like Anime is Real Also, there is the problem that people who spend to much time focused on anime may end up learning their social skills from anime. What this means is that you will have anime addicts who talk like anime characters, and behave like anime characters. Now while this can be silly, it can lead to more serious problems. 5. Anxiety The first serious problem is anxiety. Due to the exhaustion, the failure in grades/career, and the crippling social skills, you will end up feeling inadequate. As a result this negative experience will lead to you having higher anxiety. Anxiety is really serious by the way. 6. Eyes Are Harmed Though you do not need them now, if you continue watching a lot of anime, meaning sitting in the dark with a screen pouring light directly into your eyes, you will be needing glasses in the future. 7. Weakened immune system Finally, and most heinously, anime addiction can lead to you experiencing a weakened immune system. The best video made on this topic is found on YouTube. it is called “Know the signs of a weak immune system | Truweight”. Is Anime Addiction something to Worry About? Yes, Anime Addiction is something to worry about. There is nothing to worry about enjoying anime, and being a fan of anime, but if you spend to much time on anime- basically, if you become an anime addict- then you will start having a massive problem. Apart from the physical problems you may suffer, you will
Can Anime be Made in America or non-Japanese Countries?
So, having seen so much anime in recent days, I’ve begun to wonder. Could anime be made outside of Japan? As in, could anime be made in America? Or Internationally? That seemed probably, but the question then becomes slightly different. How would I make my own anime? These are the simple answers I found. Anime can be made outside of Japan. Although there is a current debate going on about what is and what is not anime, there have been anime made outside of japan. These are shows created using Japanese style, and sometimes with Japanese animators themselves. Further, there have been individuals who have been able to reproduce anime themselves. So yes, you could make your own anime. But, you may want a more detailed answer. Can anime be made outside of Japan? Let’s find out: Can Anime Be Made Outside of Japan? Yes anime can be made outside of Japan. There is still a massive debate going on around this topic. In Japan, anime is considered to be all animation, and in the International world, anime is seen as Japanese style specific animation, with the art style of Japan, and preferably Japanese voices. People argue that anime is not merely the style, and it needs to be made by Japanese, with Japanese cultural practices for it to be anime. But others argue that this is merely a new form of orientalism. The debate goes on, and on. For me though, I am a 100 percent sure you can make your own anime outside of Japan. After all, we have already seen attempts of anime being produced overseas. Examples of Anime Outside of Japan France: The first anime we can look at that was made outside of Japan would be Code Lyoko. This is a France based anime. Dubai: The Journey is the first Japanese-Saudi Arabian inspired anime. Chile: Nahuel and the Magic book was the first Latin American story to win Tokyo Anime Award. America: RWBY, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Teen Titans are an example of shows that use anime based style. Now, already I can sense the arguments. These stories may have anime style writing, some going as far as being made by Japanese artists, and studios, but they do not have the feel of Japanese anime. You want to make a story with the Japanese cartoons feel. The Jokes, the world, the characters, the story, the tropes. None of these anime mentioned have this feel. They only had anime eyes. I’ve done an article on what makes traits make anime… well, anime. It is the loss of all these specific traits that we see in these non-Japanese anime which make them feel like they lack that Japanese spirit. If you really want to make your anime feel like real anime, you should add all these elements that make anime so popular. However, there is a reason why these anime did not add these elements. It is because they need to adhere to the rules of their studios, and their producers. They need to make the safest material. You want to make your own anime outside of Japan? Then you need to create your anime working as your own boss. This way you do not have to adhere to American standards of animation. And you need to distribute it in your own platform. But is that possible… well, yeah. Can Independent Artists Create Their Own Anime? Saturday AM is English-written international shonen manga magazine founded by Frederick L. Jones. Currently, they have a number of manga works on their catalogue, and only seem to be growing. What’s of interest with Saturday AM is that it was company that was founded at 2013. Yet, by today, one of their star employees, WhytManga, is already giving instruction on how to animate your work. How to create anime, basically. As far as I can tell, this is extremely impressive, and informative. It shows that anyone can learn how to make their own anime at home. You do not need to backing of all these massive companies. You can put in the work yourself, and establish your own anime studio. So let’s say you decide to make your own anime. What exactly would that entire process look like? Let’s get to it. How Could You Create Your Own Anime? In order to create your own anime, you would need to do 5 key steps; write your story, animate it, get people to voice act for it, get music for the anime, and finally, you’d need to distribute it. 1. Write your story The first and easiest part will be writing your story. There are many other resources you can use to learn story writing here, like deep dives of mangakas in this case, and other How to articles, but for now, we are going to go through a bare minimum lesson. Producing a story comes in 4 phases; inspiration, the planning and influences, the writing, and finally, the editing. With the inspiration, it is rather simple enough. If you want to make an anime or manga, you probably already have a single idea what you want to do. Take that simple inspiration, and try to brainstorm around it. What world would it embody, what problems would this world have, what solutions, and what character is best equipped to deal with these problems? Then, plan out the story. Write the setting. The plot. The characters. Themes. And decide on the villains. Again, the resources for that are all over if you want that. Also, try to take some of the things that influence you. Things you find cool, or interesting. Add those into this story. Finally, get a word document out, or a book out, and start writing out the story. Write the plot, and manuscript, and when you are done, edit it. But you do not have to worry about line editing, as this will all be seen through drawing/animation. Which leads us to the next point. 2. Animate
This Is What You Never Knew About Masashi Kishimoto
Author deep dive. (What Authors can learn. You should begin your manga at home, or when you don’t have to use money) This article is written like such: Who is Masashi Kishimoto Masashi Kishimoto is a mangaka (Japanese manga artist) who is best known for creating the manga series, Naruto. It is one of the most successful manga of all time, often regarded as one of the top 3, and it has sold more than 250 million copies world wide. But what’s always been fascinating is how the success of the manga is closely tied to who Masashi Kishimoto is. How? Well, there are a few things you’ll need to know about Masashi first. Firstly, he was born in Okayama Prefecture, Japan on November 08, 1974. This is relevant because this place is close to Hiroshima, which is from where Masashi Kishimoto’s grandfather was from. This means that growing up, Masashi was often told war stories, and from a young age, he’d thought of war. What caused it, and how it could possibly be solved. He once said in a VIZ interview “Also, war is a difficult theme to write about. I grew up in Okayama, which is right next to Hiroshima. My grandparents went through the terror of war, and I know from their stories that the war was built up on people’s grudges.” Masashi Kishimoto, VIZ interview Masashi would become interested in manga after watching anime like Kinnikuman, and Dragon ball with his brother, Seichi Kishimoto, in Elementary school. Masashi would develop a special idolization of Akira Toriyama, and we will see how that impacted his work. Going into high school, Masashi became a bit more interested in basketball. Consequentially, he lost interest in manga. It would not be until he saw the illustration in an Akira poster that his passion for drawing was reignited. This influence also reappears in his later work. College life At college, Masashi made manga for Shonen Jump for a while, though initially he’d been more interested in Seinen. Some of his manga were successes, and some were failures. One of these successful manga one-shots being Naruto. Later he, and his editor Kosuke Yahagi, reworked Naruto, and they released it. By then, the theme of war had already settled itself deeply in his mind, especially due to the Seinen influences like Akira. This all shows in his work, and it is the secret to Naruto’s success. Naruto feels extremely internally consistent, and that is because everything revolves around this theme. The character, the world, the plot, and even the power system all address the theme of war, or themes associated with war. Basically, Masashi was of the opinion that war came about through grudges, and built up frustrations over generations. He also thought that trust, friendship, and learning to understand others would resolve this war. Both versions of Naruto, the original, and the reworked, had these themes. There is a crucial element to make this work, which will be addressed later. For now, we need to ask ourselves a question. If Naruto’s two versions were so similar, why did Masashi recreate Naruto? When Was The Original Naruto Manga Made In 1997, the original Naruto was created, and released for Akamaru Jump Summer. A reworked version was later created and release in 1999 with Weekly Shonen Jump 1999 No. 43. Initially, Masashi was planning on releasing a chanbara (sword-fighting manga which usually takes place in traditional Japan) manga, but he’d see that Rurounin Kenshin, and Blade of the Immortal were already created. So he turned his attention to a manga story that was more seinen. During the time he was working on it, his editor, Yahagi advised him to try Shonen manga one more time. Masashi turned to Hashire Melos, and Ninku for a more child-like drawing style. He’d initially planed on doing a one-shot manga called Magic Mushroom, but his editor advised he create a storyboard for serialization. They decided to rework Naruto, and 6 months later, Modern Naruto was born. What Was Naruto Inspired By Naruto was heavily inspired by Akira Toriyama, and his Dragon ball. Naruto has a number of interesting inspirations. Some are interesting because they are innocuous. Like how Masashi wanted to draw Naruto in a more realistic, Akira-like way, because he felt it would make the fight scenes more impactful. Other reasons are interesting because of how intimate they are. For example, how Masashi’s childhood war stories impacted him. These seem to be more interesting and note worthy. After all, everyone knows how One Piece and Naruto are massive Dragon Ball fan boys. However, I do not believe I truly comprehended how much of an influence Dragon ball had on Naruto, until I read the original Naruto one shot. The world is extremely Dragon ball-esque. There are contemporary cities with police, guns, cars, and all sorts of modern things. But much like Dragon ball, it does not take place in our world. Also like Dragon Ball, it has people who live in the forest, and villages, which just seem to co-exist with the developed world no problem. Also like Dragon ball, people have strange powers that are just left unexplained. Like how Pilof could transform, Naruto can transform, and the only reason given is that he is a demon fox. No internal energy. Finally, just like Dragon Ball’s Goku, Naruto is a special kid who is underestimated at first glance, yet he can do all sorts of amazing things, and he solves the peoples problems. How Was the Naruto Manga Created Kishimoto made Naruto by taking himself, and putting him in the fantasy world Masashi would have loved to live in as a child, where he goes on to fix the problems Masashi believes most promising (basically defeat the worst enemy he can imagine). The process of telling stories comes in mainly 4 phases; the inspiration, the planning and influences, the writing, and the editing. Inspiration “When Naruto was born, it was more like he somehow came
How To Join The South African Anime Community?
So, it’s happening. The One Piece live action is being produced in South Africa. And from the recent set images that have been leaked, it is looking rather good. All this excitement has brought South Africa to the center of the anime community. Yet, it seems the South Africans have yet to realize. This raises the question; how would a South African find their own native anime community? I did some digging about, and this is what I found. In this article, we will look at: Is Anime Popular In South Africa Anime was not popular in South Africa, but it is slowly becoming popular, and one day, it will be big in the country. The first thing that can be said about anime in South Africa is that it had not been very popular in the country, looking at it from past till present. It is scarcely measured as being popular, with even google trends. Google trends shows that anime was highly searched in South Africa during June 2004, but there were improvements made to the system’s geographical assignment, and anime searches fall from 100 to 24, showing that anime was not really that popular. So that was the true number of anime searches. However, this does not mean that anime had reached its summit in South Africa. More improvements were made to the system on January 2016, showing the number had risen to 37. Finally, further improvements were implemented on January 2022, and the number finally reached 70. That’s on par with other world countries. A South African university news blog called Three streams media has reported a growth in anime popularity amongst their students. Further, an article by diamond blog revealed that the most popular anime in South Africa is the anime, Attack on Titan, which is such a stark contrast to the rest of Sub-Saharan African, whose favorite anime is Naruto. Now there is the One Piece live action series. The set for the series was even visited by the President of South Africa. This was a clear welcoming of anime into the country of South Africa, and with anime being projected as a future power house in media by 2030, it is safe to say that South Africa will probably be one of the places where this explosion will be felt the most. It may even return fire too. So how would a South African become a part of this global culture shift? Or for simple homo-sapiens, how can you find and join the South African community? Where Can I Find Anime Communities Instagram Instagram is an under utilized tool in search for anime. Most people prefer using only google, and never think to look outside of the box. Google would only give you access to things like blogs, and online forums like Reddit, or Quora, where you could potentially find anime communities. However for countries that are still budding in their affair with anime, and the internet, you may not find as much as you’d like. Instead, going straight to Instagram, you go straight to the well. Let me explain. When you get to Instagram, you can begin by searching ‘#Anime’, or ‘#(whatever your favorite anime is)’. It would work best if you found the fan art of said anime too. Basically, when you have reached that page, search for memes, fan art, and all the wallpapers you like. Then, go to the images you like, and browse the comment section. Comment “Can all the South Africans say ‘HOWZIT’” or something patriotic like that. Come back a month later, and you will find a long list of comments. Now you only need to follow the pages of these commentators, and soon you’ll find out all the secret spaces, and communities that they’ve found. This plan is genius, but if you’d like to ascend mere mortal-hood, then you can open your own page where you put up your favorite anime pictures. Memes. Wallpapers. Scenes. Fan Art. Manga panels. Everything. And if you really feel like it, you could make the memes, and anime to be South African centric. South African memes with anime characters, or fan art with anime characters in South African context. I’m sure many South Africans would love that. Conventions You can start attending comic conventions. One thing that South Africa does better than every African country will have to be the comic con. Simply put, just visit comiccon.co.za, and go to the anime, and manga tab. There you will be kept up to date about when the next comic con conventions are going to be. Now, what to do when you go there? After all, you want to make friends with these people, and maybe you’d meet your future spouse or something. So, you need a plan of action, and I’ve got just the plan. First, make sure you cosplay as your favorite character. This will allow you to be a beacon, and all the people who talk to you will be people who lie the same thing. When your prey has been lulled into a false sense of security, go for the jugular and invite them into the Instagram page you made. This way you can keep talking to them, and have a lot to talk about, since you’ll be regularly working on the page. Finally, if they live close by, you can invite them over to come watch anime with you. If they live far, you can save up money so you can have an awesome trip together at a point. Genius, I know. Anime Stores You can visit anime stores, and meet people there, or get the workers to introduce you to spaces. There are a number of merch stores. Not much, but enough. You can go to the stores, and try to speak to the workers there. Ask them how they started working there, and if they seem really passionate about anime, you can ask them what anime they watch, where, and with who. If they
Here are the Top Manga And Comic Differences (2023)
Straight of my comics, and manga are books article, I could not help noticing something. Though manga and comics are so similar, they have a number of difference that make them hard to classify together. So it was hard for me to write about it. But what are the differences between manga and comics? The differences between manga and comics is the reading direction of the work (manga is read from right to left but comics are read from right to left), the production of the work (with manga being cartoonish, and black/white colored, while comics are detailed), and finally, the number of the authors. The more detailed list would go something like this. 1. Reading Direction Manga is read right to left, while comics are read left to right. The first noticeable thing is the reading direction of the manga. While you need to read from left to right when reading comics, you need to read the opposite direction when you read things like manga. You read right to left, and down. Comics are written in mostly western countries. In Western countries, the writings for the languages were created fairly late. Late enough that paper had already appeared, so they wrote on paper with ink. They were concerned with avoiding smudging their writing, and so they wrote from left to right to avoid that. Meanwhile in other countries, their languages were written a very long time ago, before paper even was created. They used to write their works on rocks, and so they never had to concern themselves with smudging. Instead, they could write anyway they saw fit, and with most people being right handed, this ended up being right to left. This is seen in mostly Middle Eastern countries, who used to be the legendary Babylonians, and Persians at some point. Finally, you have East Asian countries like Japan. They wrote on scrolls, and as a result, they needed one hand to hold down the scroll when they write, so most writing took the shape of top to bottom. However, people in Japan do not necessarily care what direction they write, and some visitors have noted that most things in Japan are written in any direction. However, it happens to be the case that manga has been locked in left to right writing, and so that’s just how it has stayed. 2. Coloring Manga are usually just black and white, while comics are usually colored. The other difference between these two mediums is that comic books tend to be colored. In contrast, manga tend to just go with black and white. The reason for this is a pretty simple one; cost saving, and time saving. As mentioned in the anime article, cost efficiency is a very important part of Japanese art culture. Here though, it is almost necessary. With Western comic books, people have over a month to prepare their story. Then, they have to publish their comics. This gives them a lot of time to work on their books. Also, comic books have been making a lot of money with their comic book movies, such as MCU movies. As a result, they can afford to pay a massive work force to color their works. In contrast, manga are published at a weekly basis, as seen with Weekly Shonen Jump. This means that they are expected to make quite high quality stories, and drawings in the span of 7 days. They simply do not have time for coloring. Also, they could not afford it if they did. They do not have that big of a workforce for each manga, so they just skip that part, and just leave their work black and white. 3. Author Manga are created by a single writer, while comic books are written by multiple writers. While the ideas for a comic and manga are usually created by one person, manga and comics are very different from there. For manga, the rights to the story, at least in the court of public/fan opinion, is owned by the author. For comics though, immediately after the character has been created, they are overtly owned by the comic company, not the author. What this means is that for manga, the story is mostly worked on by one person. There is a team around the person that helps them produce the manga. They may assist with story ideas, as we’ve seen how Masashi Kishimoto was advised by an editor to add in Sasuke last minute, and also with how Eichiro Oda’s editor felt the scene with Luffy and Shanks was not epic enough, so Oda had Shanks lose an arm. Spoiler, I guess. But the point remains; these two mangakas could have ignored their editor’s advise if they so felt, but they accepted it because they are of the impression the editor knows what will make their stories be more successful. Thus, the editions to the story are seen as works of the sole mangaka, and not the efforts of a team/duo. Comic books Meanwhile, comic characters can be created by one writer, but another writer can pick up the character and work on the character, making changes that public opinion consider to be integral part of the character. For example, when Bob Finger worked on Batman, he initial had him killing people. But later, Batman was made to not kill by a different writer. Rather than the second Batman being accepted as a sort of alternate universe Batman, they are accepted as core Batman, with Batman’s no kill rule being a massive part of his character today. This has positives and negatives for both. With comics, having multiple writers means that they can go on for a long time. Also, every change that is made will just be accepted as something that was always a part of the character by the public mind. For example, Superman could not fly when he first appeared, yet today all people just accept that Superman could always fly. The downside
