In many cases external forces and my relationships control my real world, and I don't mean that that is a bad thing. But I need to follow certain realities and conventions if I am to be a functioning member of my culture and society. In my writing, I can create situations and have characters do things that I am not daring enough to do or incapable of.(less)

Communicating through a third party was the hardest part of doing business in Japan.

      When I was going back and forth between our home in Springfield, Oregon and Nagasaki Japan between 1979 and 1982 fulfilling custom orders of stained glass for customers in Nagasaki, I only had one order that was not through a third party. And in that case the customer rejected the order when I delivered it. Here is an example of the communication problem.

“Hi, I have just added my new novel, "Incessant Expectations" for your reading enjoyment. It is about commercial salmon fishing on the Oregon coast circa 1976. It is fiction. The industry doesn't exist anymore. A young farmer from the dry country in Southwestern Colorado visits the wet Northwestern Oregon coast, seeking a summer job after his dad's farm is sold in the spring. He has spent his first 22 years in isolation, doing hard labor on the family farm. He knows hard work but has little social experience. During his summer of 1976 he learns about the ocean, fishing, and women.”
