As a second step toward starting a writing discussion group called SWAT (Society of Writers Around Tokyo), Tim Young will again lead a writing workshop on August 26. Bring any of your writing you’d like to share and have critiqued, whether it’s that novel you are yet to finish or an inter-office memo you’ve translated recently. As the first meeting attracted a very diverse group, some good discussion on what we do (and what we want to do) to make a living here in Japan may be in the offing, as well as another writing exercise.
