《Writing POC 101》Japanese Characters - @steroes

Hello , I'm Miyoko Honda! To tell the truth, I'm 1/4 Japanese. I don't live in Japan anymore but I occasionally visit Japan to see my family members.

The people in Japan, well they are all different. You can have an aggressive character, a calm character, or anything. It's fine if your character is aggressive.
However, crime rates in Tokyo are pretty low but that doesn't mean crimes don't happen in Tokyo. They do happen but not very frequently.
So yeah, make your character whoever you want it to be!
Could be one who likes manga, one who dislikes manga, and stuff like that.
☼ J A P A N ☼
The pressure in Japan is pretty high. One mistake in public and all eyes will be on you! That's why I can't afford to make mistakes out in public.
☼ F O O D ☼
The main food there should be sushi, tempura, ramen, udon, soba! For sushi, there are sushi that have raw pieces. They are meant to be eaten raw and not disguised by rich sauces.
Here are some words for your Japanese character to use in a restaurant:
maguro : tuna
tako: octopus
maguro daijobu?
まぐろだいじょぶ?
(roughly translated to : is tuna okay?)
(check, please : okaikei onegai shimasu )
o-kai-kei-o-ne-ga-i-shi-mas
Remember, no tipping !
☼ S C H O O L ☼
I didn't really go to school in Japan so I don't know but the uniforms there are not like the anime that show the boobs of females and the butt and stuff like that.
☼ B Y E ☼
I hope you found this helpful. If not, I'm so sorry! Have a nice day!

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!

Gods and Glory
What is Right? And what is Wrong? It's the hypocrisy of history written by victors. The Gods are good, the Devil is evil or so we've been told. Those who oppose the rulers in this world shall be persecuted and entitled evil, for they might shatter the false peace established. There never will be true peace, only coexistence. For to live is to devour; To devour is to deplete that which is consumed. This is the fact of life. What makes a Hero? Who deems what deeds be called 'Heroic'? Saving the world? Being chosen by a God? Unbelievable Power and Skill? Spirit of Self-sacrifice? Or Devotion and Bravery? Who knows? Our protagonist shall play the part, starting over again to correct her mistakes. Pit against the tides of fate, struggling to change the future. Her nemesis, victim of a cruel life and the irresponsibility of adults. Sights set on revenge, now he crawls his way back, looking for blood. Watch the contest between wits and brawn, as they fight their way up to victory. In the end, who will prevail? Noble or Peasant? The Hero or the Devil? Mortal versus Immortal. This is a story of Sin, a tale of Trust, a novel of Nobleness, and a chronicle of Magic. ~ fin ~ "I will write my way into another life." - Ann Patchett - Hello everyone~!!! ~(???)/~ Ballisti here. I hope you had a good time reading! This is my very first book, but I've spent quite the time writing and editing this. So I'm a tad bit confident with this. Sadly, I'm only able to put up 2 chapters weekly. The reason is...I'm still a student. School is hard, annoying and a hassle but necessary. So I'm really sorry for the slow updates, but please bear with me~!(?-?-?) I hope you enjoy reading this ('cuz I sure as hell had so much fun writing this ( • ??•? )). Thanks~!
