When I was making the review for Ace Attorney before, in order to ensure the quality was as stable as possible and also to find inspiration for writing the review, I spent a lot of time doing a lot of "homework": I played through 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies' from start to finish carefully (this is essentially the NDS remake of 'Phoenix Wright 1', but in the end, a new storyline was added to explain the content between Ace Attorney 1 and 2 that wasn't previously mentioned). I don't even need to mention that I also played a version of Ace Attorney 4 that could only be played on an NDS emulator. In addition, because I deeply understand that Shu Takumi is the soul of 'Ace Attorney', I even completed 'Ghost Trick', which doesn't belong to the Ace Attorney series but is also Takumi's masterpiece. Experiencing these two games with different focuses and types actually gave me some "interesting" ideas. That was to create content combining 'Ace Attorney + Ghost Trick'. Once this idea was conceived, I even "struck while the iron was hot" and quickly wrote a short storyline that seemed somewhat "on point". Then, when I felt that all the "ingredients" were ready and could be "cooked", I got a bit stuck. Sure, the content was ready, but how to combine it? How should the structure be? These issues made it hard for me to write on paper. And because I had to go to work, I transferred the draft content to my phone. I didn't expect that the structure I couldn't figure out on paper would appear on my phone, and, well, my creativity just "flowed like a spring." The final version published now was completed in one go on my phone.
This led me to a thought: Regarding creation, is there such a special characteristic? Some people can generate the greatest creative drive in specific environments. For example, some people feel more inspired and efficient when creating at night. Another example is that some people are more adept at creating on virtual platforms compared to traditional writing methods. Friends, do you agree? Does such a phenomenon exist? What do you think causes this phenomenon? More importantly—\ do you think external factors play a significant role in creation?

The admin's viewpoint clearly supports the topic.)As for what the correct answer to the topic is? Xiao Ji can only say that it depends on personal perspective. Maybe everyone's answer is correct. What appears on the wall this time are just the viewpoints that are more interesting.

Nuanxia @ Qingcheng @ Xiaojian (ID:1379) said: “When emotions are stirring in the heart, there are endless words to write.”\ (Xiaojian's view is that he does not agree. He thinks that mood is the most important, and that's really true, isn't it?)\ (This issue of 'One Topic per Week' was delayed in release because of 'Xiao Ji's Review.'

External factors are completely just an excuse for laziness
Hello, little Ji Ji~
When I am inspired, nothing can stop my enthusiasm.
It seems I have the same feeling; maybe it's because I've been looking at paper and pen too much and got tired of it, whereas my phone doesn't cause that.
After getting tired from reading, writing with a pen feels like working, while using a phone feels like playing, and your hands get less tired.
。。。。。。。。。。
The environment is very important →_→ A brief reply...
The mood and circumstances of creation are the most important.
Creating? When emotions surge in the heart, there is endless writing to be done.
** actually said that I am brimming with inspiration at night, but advised me to go to bed early and get up early... Some people are golden behind the scenes, yet cannot become silver protagonists; the environment indeed affects one's mindset.
Passing by...
