Welcome back to Creative Constraints Club. This week we head to JAPAN.
A friend visited recently and brought back stories, reminding me of my visit. How I fell for Japanese culture, people and landscape. I long to return. Until then, I’ll continue to sip the sweet ginjo of books, poetry, film and art. And play in Japanese language.
One wet evening in Tokyo, I was taught to write my name in kanji. Next day, I bought Haruki Murakami’s After The Quake and had fun trying to translate bits.
TODAY’S CREATIVE CONSTRAINT
SKILLS YOU’LL BOOST
Writing compelling openings
Enjoying another language
Allowing interpretation
Boost these skills and no language can intimidate you. You’ll embrace the unknown, allowing yourself freedom in interpretation. Your inner critic will be forced quiet.
Happy writing
