Laptop back up

The Backups

I lost my copy of One Note, I am trying to find the software and also so I can get back on track with my writing. What is horrible enough is that Open Office will not work for my intended purpose.

Confidence still lacking

How does one think I can do something, how does one believe one can do something good? I gave up trying to figure it all out and my confidence is very lacking. After the complaints from several people regarding the panel at Nan Desu Kan, I have opted my best alternative to refrain from doing some panels, but continue the scheduled panels, but make sure that everything is filtered a little bit for everyone's benefit. Since the problem persists, and even if I finish the book, things may not get better.

I believed that writing was the best I could do, I have attempted to do the research and remain objective. I thought at first that I was doing the right thing, benefiting my research and others. I guess that sadly that's not what people saw.

Continuing the Work

I will continue the work on the book, but I don't want credit for the research that I did, I don't want to feel as if the world will find me a great person. To say I am great is a horrible thing to say, I have done some horrible things, I lost friends, one was thrown out due to lack of paying rent, one friend died of a horrible illness that she was battling all her life...I'm no great person, nor will I ever be, I am just a writer...

I will finish the book, I will write more and make sure that all the hard work pays off. If I do have this work becomes published and many people see it. My dream is that if I am asked to autograph, I do not wish to be famous, I do not wish to be anything more than a writer. No great works goes without a friend to read.

Panel Schedule

Animeland Wasabi (2012): I will register as soon as I can and will be attending.
Nan Desu Kan (2012): Registered

Other things

I will be having a garage sale soon, these will be books and clothing, if you want to come, please IM at: ylsa_heraldhealer@yahoo.com if we don't sell the clothing, all of it will be donated to Good Will or to the Columbine Hills Church of the Nazarene.

Computer on the Fritz!

Nearly Lost it all
You can guess how furious I was when my laptop crapped out on me and I nearly lost all my information Japanese mythology for Animeland Wasabi. The data was saved thankfully to a backup system, we can all thank Lee for that.

Animeland Wasabi Panel
No news if I got the panels up yet, if I do, I will inform you here and all other people what is going on.

Why not returning to NDK?
It is a personal choice, we are not doing panels for Nan Desu Kan again, it was entirely too stressful and though the con staff are nice, we are looking for broader groups to work with. If anyone wants to bring concerns to the convention staff that is fine, but I'm sure they heard it all.

Mythology Discussion Group Ideas
I'm planning to bring up an idea to have a discussion group soon, if anyone wants to talk discuss and hold a meeting, we are looking for a suitable location. This is a place where you can bring concerns and thoughts about the future panels for conventions, discuss some points in mythology of Japan that you do not understand and also have your fellow panelists discuss it with you on a one on one discussion.

These include myself, my fiance (soon to be husband), and also hold chats with other people in matters of the discussion.

We can also watch anime together and discuss it with you as well.
