How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I have already successfully created and released several comedic series, so I think while the book is nonfiction, it definitely has comedic touches to it. Also, the countryside of Japan where I spent my time has little written about it, especially from a Westerner’s point of view.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Just do it. Lots of people I know, after I released my book, said “I’ve always wanted to write a book!” Well, the only thing holding you back from doing it is you.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Last year was the most difficult year of my life. I needed a change. I sold everything and moved halfway across the world, and experienced the greatest adventure of my life. I began writing the book three weeks before I left, and finished it in 90 days. I had written several shows before, including the half-hour comedy “Workshop” on Hulu, but this is my first book.
