There are plenty of activities to get involved with at the Japan Writers Conference taking place in Tokyo this weekend. You can't be everywhere at once, though, so here's a look at some of the presentations that caught my attention.
Recasting Your Inner Critic as a Fool
Everyone's got one — some more than others — but what happens when your inner critic takes up too much of your creative space? Recast it as a different character, says novelist Rosey Chang. Challenging that inner voice, this experiential workshop aims to take down your super-ego a few pegs by getting you involved in a writing activity that will have you occupying your own inner critic. Bring a pen.
