The next day we went to visit 奈良市. 奈良市 is famous for its deers so that was the first thing we went to see but I wasn't really expecting something like that. We went to walk in the park in the Buddhist temple complex of 東大寺 to go visit the temples obviously and the deers were everywhere. We even bought food for them. They were all really friendly except for one of them that keep on giving hurting my leg with his head, hopefully it didn't have horns. I was told that deers are bad like pigeon but I think that are a lot cuter. Travel table of content

I went to 猪苗代スキー場 with some friends to ski. That was really awesome. We left Chofu at 9.30 pm to go take the bus for 猪苗代スキー場 from Shinjuku. We arrived at the station at 6.40 am as planed. The night in the bus wasn't really comfortable and we arrived all tired but still excited enough to dress up for our day of sky. We first started to practice a bit near the station to warm up and then some went to take a class and I went with the snowboarders take the chairlift to the submit of the first green piste. Then we went higher and higher, almost to the top and I tried my first red piste. I find it pretty amazing knowing that it was the second time I was skying in my life and that the first one was 17 years ago. I really enjoyed myself and had the pleasure to hear my ski partner said he was lucky to have teamed with me as I was able to go at the top of the mountain. Travel table of content

I think it was meant to happen at some point. I mean me failing a writing contest. The goal of this one was to finish two novels by writing 50000 words.
The achievement is that I finished one novel and wrote 1934 words.
Basically I spend my all time working on "Demon and Fairy" and didn't even bother to add one single word forward to Viorel's adventure.
So yes this is kind of epic as I always managed to pass the word count usually.
I'm not going to make excuses for it. I can't stand people making excuses about... like... anything so I'm not entering myself in this category. I failed I know it and I'm taking the consequences for it. (or lack of consequences in this case, kinda :P) I'm simply telling that this month I didn't feel like writing. I had enough. Of course I want to finish the story. But that will take some time.
That doesn't mean that I want to stop being a writer, that just mean that I needed time to breath. I mean even Viorel is breathing, right? So why should I rush everything. I wrote almost all year and collected the writing contest win.
So what did I do last month instead? Because I didn't even write this blog properly as I usually do. Well I looked at the world with new eyes and I liked what I saw... I gave myself some time to dream and to think things through and I'm not completely finished with that.
Now the plan for the writing will not be JanNoFiMo as expected but to work slowly on "Vampire heart" and to prepare Attic Mirror for the print.

I went to spend New Year's Eve with some friends in Yokohama. There is a attraction park there and we wanted to see the count down.
We left Chofu in the afternoon. We first walk near the lake before going to have diner in China Town. It's nice to visit China Town with Chinese people because they can explain you stuff that you wouldn't know if you were alone. Also that's a good way for me to improve my Chinese.
Then we tried to go to the rainbow bridge but after not knowing the way then kind of finding it, we discovered that it was kind of far to actually get there and we went to the attraction park. We tried several games. I just went to the roller coaster that was my friend's first time and he still found it a bit short, for me there is nothing like ええじゃないか. Some did Dance Dance Revolution and ended up with a crowed looking at then, too awesome. We then went to look at the count down on the big wheel followed by fireworks.
All in all that was a very different New Year's Eve than the usual meal we have in France, but I didn't loose anything in the change. I started the new year with people a really like and that was really the funniest and most exciting new year I have ever had. Travel table of content
PS : Unfortunately my camera's battery died before the end of the evening.
So it's kind of a habit now for me to make Amigurumis for Christmas and to ship them all over the world do nice people asking for them. I know this Christmas I decided that I wasn't actually going to take requests. The reason for that was that I had a lot of nice people around who I could make something for. So I created an army of Totoros, 26 of them to be precise (well I still have 1 to finish and 2 to actually make). I never actually made that many Amigurumi in such a short time before.
But I think them liked them.
And as I know some of my readers probably want one as well, and as I created the patterns myself, as a Christmas gift for you I'm going to tell you how to make one yourself.
