Gods are busy



Yukigami here!






So I have become pretty busy as of late, and I would just like to update some things!


First of all, I still intend to do a huge amount of writing and the things I said I'm going to do. But as it turns out, I'm going to have to become a whole lot better at managing my time. Like...really!

I'm also going to have to start exercising more, as my energy won't keep up otherwise.

So, why am I going to be so incredibly busy? I don't feel like getting super detailed about it just yet, especially because I need to be doing something else right now instead of typing up a long blog post. But essentially, in addition to having exams to study for, I have a lot of programming to learn. I am taking it upon myself to become a programmer, and I am very determined and trying really hard. Right now no matter how hard I try I feel I am not trying nearly hard enough. I really want to catch up to those who've been programming for a while already, or at least to those who've taken more than a year or two of it in school as their focal program of study.

I will still make regular blog posts, as you will soon see, but there will hopefully come a time during the early Summer when I can really pump out some interesting written works, Go tutorials and more, despite the rigorous training I'll need to continue with for programming.

I am undergoing some major life decisions/changes right now but you'll learn all about it at a much later point. I don't want to get into it until I've really taken meaningful steps. I also don't want to say anything as though it's final here, even if in my head I already think it so.

I managed to come up with some insanely awesome ideas recently for one of my stories though and started on chapter one (I know have four different chapter one's, each for a different story). One night, I was really in the zone and the giant, lightning-fast stream of ideas all just clicked! You will see all of them within the next two months, likely within 40 days. I really do intend to become regular with story chapters (and a lot of other things I said I'd be writing out). I haven't turned my eye from role-play, MTG, anime, or other such topics around which recent topics have rarely been based, but major events/decisions/changes in/to my life have pushed a few things aside by force for now.

So basically, Yukigami wa...

Technical Writing





Yukigami here!

To elaborate on my previous post regarding my summer preoccupations - I plan to also refine my skills of technical writing.

Because this summer really needs to be productive for me not only in terms of creative writing and taking a real step into the world of novelists and creative writers, but also in terms of developing the skills of mine most relevant to and useful for realistic overall employability, I plan to learn and refine my skills of technical writing rather than focus only on my creative writing projects. My Go tutorials and articles may contribute to this type of skill development, but it is definitely not enough - not even close!

Furthermore, in addition to taking one half-credit course this summer, I'll be training myself in Python. I may or may not have said it before that I'm including 20 minutes per day as a minimum requirement of daily programming, but I'm increasing that.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling the pressure from thoughts of the future and career pursuits. I actually think about these things every single day.

Like, a lot...

While we might classify Go tutorials and typical discussions referring to Go diagrams as "technical writing", I am definitely going to continue doing it with some level of creatively, if not with increasing levels.

Talk is cheap, I'll show it with my next Go tutorials!

I really can't wait to be free from this school term so that I can post like mad!!

Well then,
Again soon!
