My first novel, A Relative Weight, is now in stores!

Consider picking up a copy from your local bookstore~ (You would be able to order it off Amazon except there are unreality shenanigans. Someday.)

If you were promised a signed copy, you should already have gotten one on your doorstep. Let me know if I missed anyone.

Thanks again to Chiyo Matsuoka for the cover art and to everyone who provided support during this process! I couldn't have reached here without you ♥

[A Relative Weight is indeed for sale! And getting pretty good reviews, at that.]

[buncho]

why? if theyre good, they should!

[thesettingsun]

Because movies take time and money, and producers only want to make movies that they think will make them money.

[buncho]

look at the book! chiyo's a good artist, itll definitely make money!!

[thesettingsun]

If they made a movie, it wouldn't have Chiyo's art in it.

[buncho]

they cant just cut her out like that!!!!!!!!

[thesettingsun]

Yes they can, because most people consider the text of the book to be more essential than the cover.

[buncho]

they can both be important! do you think the text is good enough for a movie?

[thesettingsun]

I don't think it would translate that well to film.

[buncho]

whats wrong with your book?

[thesettingsun]

Nothing is wrong with it!

[buncho]

then you should have no trouble getting a movie! i believe in you!!!!

[Ugh. Time to try something Mafuyu understands: sports.]

Think of it this way: a really good football player might not be that good at baseball. It doesn't mean he's bad at football.

[buncho]

im good at both football and baseball. youre doing the same things, hitting and running.

[thesettingsun]

You're good at both, but not everybody is. Some good books make good movies too, but some good books don't.

[buncho]

everybody can learn to get better at both though! its called not giving up! what about your book makes a bad movie? we can fix it!

[thesettingsun]

[Why did he even try.]

Mafuyu, I am still in a good mood from getting my book released, but a long discussion with you will put me in a bad mood, so chill.

[buncho]

ok so i dunno what you mean by chill but im in a good mood too! im saying that if your book was a movie, id watch it! bc i think itd be good!

[thesettingsun]

Would you read it as a book?

[buncho]

Maybe if somebody read it to me and they're good at voices.

[thesettingsun]

How do you pass your English classes if you won't read?

[buncho]

im not. but theres things like sparknotes and tutors and stuff to help?

[thesettingsun]

Wouldn't it be easier just to read the books?

[buncho]

you dont understand cause youre a smart college kid, but readings hard for some people okay??!

[thesettingsun]

Maybe you need to work more on your reading skills? You're not going to be able to rely on sparknotes forever.

[buncho]

readings not a skill its just something you do! practice doesnt make it any more boring!
