Maya, I like your card! The circulation of New Year's cards is shrinking in Japan yearly. My son doesn't send; instead, he uses more message applications. But as part of the older generation, it is good to hear from my old friends yearly.
I am not a writer, so I don't know, but writing nonfiction allows the reader to get a real sense of the author's personality and thoughts, naturally leading to sympathy. I was born and raised in Japan, but having lived abroad for a long time, I understand what you are discussing very well.
This was such a beautiful post. I smile so much to hear that you edit so much more in non-fiction. I just dash out my non-fiction but I go over my fiction over and over and over again! It might be fun to think of your trip to Japan as we search for a novel that you might write that is set there!!! My son has only been back one time since we left 12 years ago and I have never been back. I have no plans to ever go back even though I miss it every single day. I’m hoping my son can visit again this summer.
