Well, one day, I realized I can't and I have no knowledge of Japanese culture. It's making it hard for me to write stories without proper research, and intimate knowledge of these people. So I dropped trying hard to be one, and just embraced my own.
Nah, I'm over that phase. Being in constant state of anger about all things I have no control with is futile and non-sensical.
I guess disconnecting from their work is harder for some people. I try to get along with those around me, (unless it's funny to intentionally annoy them), but I find no character easier to write than a borderline sociopathic scumbag.
Well, the reason I don't disconnect from my work is that, part of my technique as a writer is to 'feel' and 'think' like the character I'm writing. Along with observing other people, it forms an 'authentically human' experience my readers enjoy in my style.
I can somewhat relate to that, but that's only for the chapter. Once the chapter is done you're no longer that guy.
Yeah, true. But I write in manuscripts, and that takes time. Also, I act like my character (especially when I'm writing) so as to observe how their behavior is received by people around me.
Ah, so you're a method actor.
Yep, since I aim for the 'authenticity' of the characters' reactions in my story.
You were as clear as a cucumber
That's not how that saying goes, but if I was clear then why are you confused?
