# About me
Hello. Here online, I generally go by my pen name, Chiyo Hoshi (or just Chiyo). I reside in the United States, am of *confidential* years, and enjoy studying the Japanese language and culture, reading/drawing manga, listening to music, reading and writing literature, and playing the occasional video game. I have been drawing manga since about 2003/2004. Of all artists, the Japanese manga group CLAMP has had the strongest influence on my art while my writing and storytelling style has been most influence by CLAMP, Hayao Miyazaki, Brian Jacques, and Nomura Mizuki.My webcomic(s):

Hi! Sorry it took so long to respond. I've had a pretty busy May/early June, so I haven't been able to get on dA very often. How are you doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. Good, but boring.
How are you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been pretty busy, but I'm fine. Currently I'm working on doing readings for my fall semester of college, since I have a long list of assingments and don't want to get swamped in homework.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
Do you cope with your workload?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Usually. I've never left my homework unfinished, but it's sometimes pretty stressful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
In what profession you learn there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm studying professional writing, so we have a lot of reading and writing that we need to do. We also give feedback on other people's works, so sometimes you have a 10-page short story you need to read and comment on before the next class while also getting your reading done. It's fun, but putting it all together, it's a lot of work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool and I see.
And how much will you learn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I 've learned a lot so far, especially about giving actually helpful feedback. One of my options for a job after college is as a fiction editor, so interacting with more stories and learning how to help the writer and also what I want in a reader response and editing has been a lot of help. I've also learned a lot about poetry, which is an area where my previous schooling didn't give me an adequate education. And I've become more convinced than before that poetry and learning how language interacts in both poetry and prose is important for knowing how to write well and how to help others become better writers.

And where do you think to apply their knowledge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope to be a novelist and an editor for fiction works, like short stories and novels, so just about everything I've been doing, from writing to feedback groups, has been pretty much what I want to do as a job. It's been pretty great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok. I hope you find them.

Thanks. So, have you been watching the Olympics?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. I don't usually watch them, either, but I love the atmosphere, skill, and variety of the olympics, so I make sure to watch at least my favorite events like swimming, gymnastics, diving, and archery.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
The only sport that I occasionally watch is wrestling.

Say you worried when went to study at the new location?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. I'm able to adjust pretty quickly to new locations, so it doesn't cause me much of an issue to change location.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. So what about you? How have the past few months been?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is nothing new, that in my opinion is not good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And why is that? Isn't it better to have nothing new than to have bad things happening?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How about the fact that I am not working and I have no money to live?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, yes, that would be troublesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm tired. I've got my college finals next week, so it's been busy. Thankfully, though, it's almost Christmas break.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Poor you.
I do not know how to help you, but hold on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. I'll do my best! ^u^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad to know.
The question out of curiosity, do you want to your manga published?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^
Currently I am posting it on a couple different sites, but I do wish I could sell it. If I ever did put together a "book" version, I'd probably self-publish an ebook or something like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. How much will the chapters in your manga?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not entirely sure how many chapter there will be, especially since I'm rewriting some of the events and trying to figure out how to streamline the second half of the plot. I know it'll be more than 30, though, so I really need to step up my production speed. =_='
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is clear and I can understand you.
What will you do when you're done with your story in the manga?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm still trying to decide what to do then. I have some side stories I want to put together, and I've got some other stories I want to draw comics for, but it will really depend on how things are when the time comes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
How do you react if, at your manga create аnime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it was made into a tv show, that would be a miracle.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes.
How do you react, if the create figures your characters?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. I've never really thought about that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see and I think I'm getting ahead of myself.
You watched "Age of the Great Dinosaurs(Daikyoryu no jidai)"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen many older shows simply because I never hear of them. What's it like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This anime for kids with subtext about the environment (small irony in the fact that even though it's an anime for family viewing, where the dinosaurs allowed the blood of each other (in the Japanese version)).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. It does seem like the kind of show Japan likes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes.
You played in Undertale?
