personality, who would it be and why?

What is your favorite genre and why?

I once wrote a screenplay I would like to see made as a movie one day. Also, I have some short story projects I need to develop further. I'm also a painter working on a series called Shiro-Nuri, which means 'painted white' in Japanese.

What four top most things you take care of while writing a book?

1. That there is a nice flow between the narrative and the expository.

2. That it is simple and unpretentious.

3. That it have a poetic quality.

4. That the book itself be a guidepost to the timeless and eternal.

Your origin of birth and other countries you have visited/ stayed.

What best things you liked in these countries around the globe?
