#ScribesAndMakers Mar 8 Is there a country other than your own that influences your creativity? Call me a weeaboo, but Japan. I watch a lot of anime and it informs how I picture scenes, especially fight scenes, in my own writing - and influences my story structure which tends to be quite episodic. Japanese culture influences my other creative outlet too, cookery. Just got two new Japanese recipe books and I can't wait to try some dishes out.
