Eliza Starry (伊莉莎・S)
Key Points
Point 1
To be able to properly hold utensils and eat in the future,
I need to calculate how much time I can spend writing each day.
Point 2
When the story runs faster than the tip of the pen:
a 15-year journey from critic to international publishing.
1｜
Today’s message
is not about publishing a book,
but about a website malfunction.
This is something every personal website will eventually face.
I plan to begin the process of translation and international publishing in May 2026,
and I am currently continuing to write Zone 2 of the story.
But the story is growing
faster than I expected.
Sometimes it feels
like it’s always running ahead of me.
2｜
What I can write each day is limited.
With my hand injury,
every day of writing
must take into account how long my hands can function.
I hope that in the future,
I will be able to hold utensils
and enjoy a proper meal.
During the most severe period of my injury,
even holding a phone, I would drop it—
because my hands would suddenly lose strength.
3｜
I wrote too much during my time as a critic.
This is one of the reasons
my hand injury has not fully recovered.
Without that period of accumulation,
perhaps I wouldn’t have the courage I have now
to move toward international publishing
and self-published e-books.
Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend.
Even if the website is temporarily unavailable,
you can still go out for a walk, enjoy some sunshine,
listen to music, or watch some videos.
