Those ideas come through sifting through my experience to find what was of meaning and value in my experience. I constantly compared my life in America and my life in Japan. I read a lot, so that brings in ideas. If anything, weeding out the ideas is more the problem. An overflow of ideas can drown out the doable ideas. The ideas are always there, the problem is to focus on the right one and follow through on it.

I love your Detective Hiroshi series. I've lived in Japan for 35 years. I appreciate your stories dealing with social issues that are uncomfortable subjects for many Japanese. Please keep on with the series. How about writing about the Asian "trainee" programs or detained refugees...these are serious issues along with growing poverty and ongoing bullying...cram schools ...testing...ahh...Detective Hiroshi help?
