Ya Boy Kongming and Writing More

I finished the anime, Ya Boy Kongming (Paripi Koumei in Japanese), and it was definitely one of the surprise anime of 2022, for me, as far as being a very good anime that no one was anticipating or expecting to be good. Besides the strategizing, comedy, music and energy, it was just a lot of fun and had a lot of heart. A military strategist from the Three Kingdoms era reincarnated in modern day Japan while being a bartender and helping the career of a songstress was not something that should work as well as it did. The characters and positive energy of the series really helped it stand out. It also goes to show the one fact about anime, and that is that there is an anime about anything and everything.

My stories are heavily influenced by anime. Whenever I imagine The Mustard Prince playing out in my head, I imagine it as an anime. I am currently finishing up with editing The Mustard Prince in the Condiment Kingdom, and I am spending much more time on it than usual. I just really want to get it done and have the story finished. I have other stories on the docket as well. Thankfully, I am getting much more used to spending more time on it, and just being disciplined by not allowing distractions get in the way.

I think about working six to eight, if not more, hours a day on writing as a career. I know that at times, it will be boring, and editing can be quite a chore. Other days, writing can go by quickly, and I’ll be at a good part of the story where I am just really into what is going on. At the end of the day though, the end product and finishing a story is very satisfying.
