I’m writing the first draft of a brand new short story in the Japanese language. Wish me luck in crafting something powerful and convincing someone to publish it.

TP.HCM đang dẫn đầu cả nước với mục tiêu đưa tiếng Anh trở thành ngôn ngữ thứ hai trong giáo dục, đi trước kế hoạch 10 năm. Hiện có khoảng 30.000 học sinh đang học Toán và Khoa học hoàn toàn bằng tiếng Anh.

“…to learn a second language as an adult is a Herculean undertaking.” Just a bit of one of Leanne Osagawara’s ruminations on her always interesting blog.

me giving my first reading in the Japanese language last week.

I read the first third of my latest short story, Photo Bomber (「フォトボマー」), which appears in the anthology Fear and SF (恐怖とSF), published last month by Hayakawa. The event, held at @sumika_tankyu in Kamakura this past Wednesday afternoon, was a spontaneous addition to the Kamakura Poetry Festival. I opened for poet Robert Priest and singer-songwriter Kai Shimizu.
