Overcoming fear : Judgement

Hey bloggies,
How are you all doing?

Lately I have been keen on letting go of an inner fear.
During a meditation, I came to realize that it had no reason to exist, and the only person blocking my fun was myself.
Some may know this, but I am fond of anime and manga ( japanese cartoons).
Aside from watching, I enjoy to study also the way characters, background are drawn and how the animation is being performed.
This allows me to gain new techniques and personalize it with my own drawing manga style.
But aside from the anime, the reading, the music and the language that also pleases me, there is another theme that got my attention over the years and it's cosplay.

I love to watch cosplayers interpreting anime characters, creating short (sometimes humourous) skits about a manga or telling its tale on stage while parading in the costume, sometimes sewed with their own hands.
A tiny voice in my head whispered timidly : I want to do that, it sounds fun.

But past experiences had let me install a fear that blocked me from doing so: judgement.

Spain: Ola Estepona, Marbella!

Dear bloggies,

How is everyone doing?

What a week!

I came back from a lovely and warm vacation in Spain.
I stayed in Estepona, visited the city, and Marbella as well.

Both of these cities display a true summer vacation atmosphere. Marbella is more touristic I supposed, especially with their huge mall called : La Canada, 200 stores including a cinema, restaurants and of course shopping. It was so huge, with my short size, I would have needed a map to not get lost.

We had a lovely appartment with a large terrace, where we would have breakfast and during the evening a fresh drink while reading a book. It felt great to not be obliged to do anything and just lay down, enjoy the grass, the sun, the slight wind brushing past you and listening to the sound of nature.

Take Another Little Piece of My Heart

Hey Bloggies,

How are you?

I want to share of my greatest pleasures that is usually laced with travelling: concerts!

Now you might have noticed, I've been to quite some concerts, most of them are japanese.

I've been a fan of their music since discovering anime but I only got into the music when I was 15 years old.

At that time, I discovered my first favourite singer: Gackt Camui. Later it spread to Malice Mizer, X-Japan etc.. Of course there are also non-japanese bands/artists that I enjoy listening and I want to see some of them live.

Concerts are for me also an occasion to meet new people. It's a bit like conventions, we already have one thing in common : music. Through these events, I met great creative people and it's even better when we meet again for another gig.

BOOK 1 : Inspiration

Hello bloggies,

I hope you're doing well.

Today the subject will be about my first book, or rather what has inspired and is currently inspiring me to write it.
I will title it for now book1.

I think this is the first post I will write about my book and it's quite challenging as I'm trying not to spoil everything.

Let's give it a try, shall we ? :)

Gaming : a part of me

Hey bloggies!

When I take a time-off writing, one of my preferred distractions is gaming.
I'm from the playstation 1 generation. I remember when I first played on Nintendo 64 and Atari.
Nowadays, I still game and amoung my recents favourites are: The Sherlock Holmes Series.
