Could this be a synchronicity? I saw on twitter that SQUARE ENIX is looking for some new members for Dragon Quest’s scenario writing team.
(By the way, twitter has been one of the major sources of awesomeness for me. If you haven’t signed up for twitter, you should do so now. It might take for a [...]
This year has been a year of creativity for me. It’s mostly due to Julia Cameron’s book “The Artist Way”. It’s not an easy task to define what creativity is, but I’m happy to say it’s really common and we’re all creative. It comes down to choosing to be creative as well. I’m just going [...]
I have a SMENA 8M, a toy camera. This photo was taken with it – and I “scanned” it with my iPhone. I’m not sure what you photography enthusiasts think, but I like it a lot. A retro taste of SMENA 8M cheapened further by iPhone. If I’m correct, this photo was taken somewhere near [...]
I’ve been working together with Etsuko Tsukagoshi to produce a Japanese version of Chris Guillebeau’s “A Brief Guide to World Domination” for the past 3 months. Now it’s almost finished, and we’re in the final stage of this project: releasing this Japanese version.

The last time I read my morning pages was the last time I worked on Week 9 of the [...]
One of the basic tools of the Artist’s Way is the morning pages.
Every morning, you write down by hand whatever thoughts or emotions occuring to you at the time of writing. The minimal amount you’re expected to write is 3 pages. For me, it takes about 30 mins to do the morning pages. Since the [...]
I did write something for this blog in the morning, and I got busy with another project for the entire day. Now it’s almost 10pm and I have to get on with that project I’ve been working on for the entire day. In short, it seems that I won’t be able to edit a draft [...]
I’m up to Week 9 of the Artist’s Way. Since I am always with myself, it is difficult to see what changes I made within myself and how the book has been helping me in an observable manner.
Some of the changes that may or may not be related to this book include:

In a previous post, I wrote: the most important and first thing you should learn in BJJ is to tap before you get hurt. When I reflect on lessons I learned through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I tend to find these lessons applicable to life in general. Tapping is one of such lessons.
