TL;DR welcome to the Survival Strategies, everyone. Been a while. But I know there are a LOT of you who have absolutely no clue as to what I'm doing or how I'm doing it. #OkayEmily you were just an idol and now you're publishing a book series? The word you're looking for is published, and Dvorak has a LOT more history than you would think. So let's start at the very beginning: In 2013, my hands were killing me, so I started switching to the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, which I still use sometimes (I switch on and off). I wanted a way to learn it fast, to get used to it so I could switch over. So I decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month's Camp event in April of 2013, writing a 50,000 word novel in Dvorak. And when I realized I had no plot, I quickly figured out this was no problem: Dvorak is an interactive project. Everyday during April, I will be making regular quota for (National Novel Writing Month) using Dvorak. That’s 1,667 words per day....

Okay, so it's a couple of days late, but I was so stressed out last night that I actually got sick. It's a miracle in itself that I'm still awake. Regardless, here are my 5 things I did in the month of August! What's funny is that you probably know most of these already, because a lot of them happened at Matsuricon. I staffed my first anime convention! It was way less stressful than I thought it would be...despite the fact that my body and mind thought it was, LOL. I sang an Akiba Idol Emily song for the first and last time in front of a crowd! It was completely unexpected, but I'm glad I got to sing at least once before I retire the project for good and put my idol days behind me. (That's a whole 'nother story, but I got this.) I went to go see Teddyloid in concert at Matsuricon! I don't really go to concerts, and I really don't go to concerts or anything for Japanese acts. I'm too embarrassed to. But this was one exception I really wante...
