What cultures are you familiar with or inspired by?

[Pik]

It is good to travel to sample new cultures. I like to write about Japanese ideologies l, intrigued by their thinking and an old school friend of mine (he was a Japanese exchange student) said I should visit Japan to learn more. He gave me the lovely option of staying at his house.

What stories do you write @Pik ?

I read a few of Japanese traditional plays and they were very mystical and inspired by local legends and myths I think.

I've written a lot of texts recently where the topic or the genre was already set so it can be confusing to answer that. A lot of the texts I wrote were character-driven and about quirky personalities and social misfits. Sometimes otherworldly topics but still realistic (e.g. drama with elements of fantasy etc) Tell us about the stories you write if you feel like it.

Your writing sounds very interesting. I write a lot of character focused stories and the social misfits and quirky personalities fit well with this writer.

I have written a few Japanese based stories... all quite different. One is of a yokai where I built this Fantasy world that is quite peculiar whilst the second one is told through a series of emails. It is set in the present but the writer has a very strange job but is growing in popularity in Japan.

I write Fiction, but mix it with a little Fantasy, Romance, Mystery and a little Magical Realism. Some have said that my stories lean towards Literacy but I don't think they are. I have my own style and own structure to story tell. I am currently working on an anthology, the first in a four book series. Each book are completely different in style, in telling, in approach but they all build and help the reader see a much bigger story.

I would love to read your work if you are willing to share. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks for sharing about the stories you write, didn't know what yokai were until I read the word in your post. I probably watched few animes where yokai appear. The story told through a series of emails sounds intriguing, reminds me of few novels and films I watched. Good luck with the anthology, maybe I'll share some of my writing in the future.
