[QUOTE="Hobbit, post: 74245, member: 31"] Yeah, I'm currently working on my writing career at the moment. So I'm technically building towards a future, I guess. I've published four novellas and working on a novel called "A Hikikomori Elegy" - it's an I-novel, which is akin to the style that Osamu Dazai wrote in; same vibe and all. It'll have intervals of being set in reality where the hikki's life is miserable, and intervals where it's set in an MMORPG, where the hikki's life is amazing. It'll be a stark contrast (which is the name of one of the chapters, actually). It's a work-in-progress, but it's getting along. I haven't written in a while, though - should probably get back into it. Anyway, think of it as a Western "Welcome to the NHK" since that's an Eastern novel (as well as manga and anime, I suppose) with more to it and more about gaming addiction and internet addiction. It's actually gone through a few name changes. The initial name was simply "N.E.E.T. - Not in Education, Employment, or Training." The second title was something else entirely but I forget it now. I think "A Hikikomori Elegy" is quite a profound and catching title. [/QUOTE]
