~ 男子禁止 / No Boys Allowed, the game! ~

     I have been doing several off-topic things to enrich the game:

    1. Practice making backgrounds:






: | Eventually I'll become extremely proficient at this.
    2. Teaching myself to play classical guitar. I have someone to play with who knows how to play, actually. Maybe in about half a year I'll have enough knowledge to make my own compositions.

    3. Studying a ridiculous amount of Japanese vocabulary. This won't effect the game directly since they game's not going to have a dot of Japanese in it. but it'll help me, since I'll be able to read more Japanese so that I can read a wider variety of things. I'm not intent on copying or creating a game inspired by an existing game, but it helps to know what's already out there if you want to make something new.

    4. Working out. It turns out I have crazy low blood pressure. Maybe that explains why I have ice cold fingers and toes. Also, it's hard to think when blood doesn't reach certain parts of your brain.

At last!

Gosh, I never really thought about the stark height difference between Lois and Alexis.
Lois is one of the shortest girls in class, and Alexis is the tallest girl in class.
I wrote a few stories about how they became and are friends,
but I didn't consider the difference in height.

Eek, we're not as successful tonight.
    I tried to write about what the guys talk about, but what with me not being a guy it was sort of difficult. I know something about computers, so I guess I could make one of them really into computers, but what do other guys talk about? I've never heard guys talk about anything besides inanimate objects, like games, cars, weapons... never about other people.

Tonight I have written about Judy's obsession with hair care.
    A combination of drawing and writing is working. Whenever I feel low on ideas on what to write, I draw the characters I want in the story. The story I wrote tonight isn't very interesting (it reads a lot like an episode of Lucky Star) but as long as I'm writing I'm getting somewhere.
