My name is Yazawa Kokoro. I live in Kanda with my mother, my two sisters, and my little brother. Our older sister just moved back in; she was recently greivously injured in a train derailment, and lost her memory. There are elements to her story that I think will make an interesting book. One of them is that my sister keeps a diary faithfully (called Nikki-chan) and her ex-girlfriend, who is still involved in our lives, uses her old journal (called Nikki-san) so you can often get their thoughts directly if you ask. Hence I will make this book a daybook/nikki myself. Among other things, I want to honor how bravely my sister Niko is struggling with her injuries to keep up with her responsibilities and pursue her goals. It's very inspiring. I also want to chronicle the equally admirable struggle of her ex-girlfiend, Nishikino Maki, to help Niko and re-connect with her, re-establishing a relationship she lost through no fault of her own. They met in high school as part of the same idol troupe - one that went on to win a national championship. All of that combined makes their story interesting, in this thirteen-year-old's opinion. I am very disciplined, and by the time I am 15 or so, and can be taken more seriously, I will have this written, revised, checked, and submitted. If I must submit to a thousand publishers, I will. I think I will keep track by folding paper cranes for every submission.
