It's been a while but we've finally figured out the old password and we gots access!
Here's some pictures from our first meetup after a long hiatus.
We called it "Necromagical" since it was a resurrection of sorts.

Happy New Year writers! 🎉

29/12/2021

It was a great first year in NAWCO.

We illuminated masterful artwork in poetry, crafted horror stories together, collaborated to revise and improve our writing, and made meaningful new connections in the city of Nagoya.

From Aigerim, Ed, and Eric: thank you so much for participating this year. We have high hopes for 2022, and would love to see you continue to support us in building a strong multilingual writing community in the coming year.

Due to winter vacation, we won't be seeing you for some time. But don't worry! There will be much to come in 2022. Thanks again to each and everyone of you.

Happy New Year!

「NAWCO」の初めての一年が最高でした。

不思議な芸術品を詩を使って言葉で描きました。一緒にホラーストーリーを書いて、自分のライティング能力をレベルアップできました。そして、名古屋で強い繋がり、友情が生まれました。

アイ、エッド、エリックから：今年参加してくれてありがとうございました！2022年に予定がいっぱいあるし、このマルチリンガルライティングのコミューニティをよかったら作り続けることに参加してほしいと思っています。

冬休みのため、しばらくイベントはありません。でもご心配なく！もうすぐ会いましょう。改めて本当にありがとうございます！

あけましておめでとう！！

Ekphrastic, it’s the 11th NAWCO Meetup!

We had an amazing time writing at an incredibly unique art exhibit! The work of Soga Shohaku was surreal and unique, and inspired so many powerful ways to think about writing, as well as story ideas. We weren’t allowed to take pictures in the gallery, but check out some screenshots of his work, and try writing stories about them.

Write for Rights is the world’s biggest human rights event, where millions of people around the world come together to protect the rights of others. This is how you do it:

1. READ THE STORIES
From teachers to teens, our cases this year feature a range of people, young and old, all of whom have had their freedoms abused. You will find 10 cases from 10 different countries at https://www.amnesty.org/en/get-involved/write-for-rights/
Japanese: https://www.amnesty.or.jp/get-involved/postcard/lwm/

2. WRITE YOUR LETTERS
You can write two letters. One is to a government or similar authority: this is the person in authority we are trying to persuade to help the person or people featured in that case. The second is for a solidarity letter to the person we want to help, or someone they are close to. This is your chance to write them a personal message of friendship or support. Feel free to draw pictures – be creative.

3. USE THE SAMPLE TARGET LETTERS IF YOU NEED THEM
https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ACT3044372021ENGLISH-1.pdf contains 10 sample letters to your target (pages 13-17). You can either copy these out in your own handwriting (great!), or rewrite them, adding your own words (even better!). Writing these letters by hand is often more impactful, but if you’re not able or comfortable doing that, you can also type your heart out on your favorite writing software. You can do as few or as many as you like.

4. (optional) POST YOUR LETTER ONLINE AND TAG AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
Once you’ve written your letter(s), please take a photo of it (or a part of it) and post it on your social media channels, tagging it . Please also tag in your posts on Twitter and Instagram so we can find you. We’ll try to re-tweet and post the best letters during Write for Rights.

5. SEND YOUR LETTER TO AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL NAGOYA MULTICULTURAL GROUP
Please send your letter(s) or a photo of your letter(s) to [email protected]. We will print your letters out and bring it to the local Write For Rights event in Nagoya. Your words will change someone’s life. Thank you!

5.1. (alternate) SEND YOUR LETTER BY YOURSELF
You’ve written to an authority or to someone who really needs your support right now. Please remember to put that letter in an envelope, stamp it, and send it on its way. Whichever way you choose to do it, your words will change someone’s life. Thank you (again)!

"We just philosophize, complain of boredom, or drink vodka. It's so clear, you see, that if we're to begin living in the present, we must first of all redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to exceptional labor, to steadfast and endless labor."

— Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard

At the last meeting, we celebrated Halloween by having a contest for the scariest story. The winner was awarded three packs of Pocky. First, we all discussed what makes a story scary. It's an interesting question because in storytelling, unlike in the film, you can't rely on jump scares or any sound or visual special effects. There were many valuable and interesting ideas, such as using enclosed spaces in a story and writing about one's own deep fears. One suggested creating a reality in which things would work so differently that it reaches the point o absurdity. Another suggestion was to manipulate the reading pace by using long and short sentences to influence the way the reader breathes. Long sentences for building anticipation and short ones for creating a feeling of panic. After discussions, we put a timer at 25 minutes and set about writing. Even though time was limited, all the stories came out very original and, most importantly, scary. Maybe it was the prize, but it seemed that everyone worked especially hard in this competition. According to anonymous voting, the most terrifying story was Sam's one, and we congratulate him on that!
All in all, the evening was a success. Partly because this time, we gathered in a cozy and quiet Language Lab that would become our permanent meeting place this winter. The place is perfect for writing, discussing, and sharing the works. Next time, on the 20th of November, we'll meet up in an art gallery because we're going to an exhibition of Soga Shohaku's works! And right after that, we'll have our regular writing session. Everyone is welcome!

OCT 10 MEETING - HIGHLIGHTS
We took a close look at our own writing in the last event, sharing our work and carefully analyzing it in small groups. By giving thoughtful feedback, we identified areas of improvement and made plans to revise our writing for the better. It was awesome hearing the work of our fellow writers, which ranged from tear-jerking personal essays to whacky sci-fi stories. We also enjoyed great beer and fish and chips at Elephant’s Nest. Thanks everyone for coming, and see you at our next event!!

SEP 26 MEETING - HIGHLIGHTS
Better late than never , our highlights from our 8th meetup!
This meetup was about how the way we perform and say things changes what people think of those things.
We had some excellent tacos at Mucho Chicken and, though the music was a little loud it was great to hear everyone’s writings and how the performance of said writings made us all feel.
We overacted, we cowered in fear or showed no emotion at all - so interesting to see how that affected some of the funnier or more serious works from our members.

"One of the commonest and most generally accepted delusions is that every man can be qualified in some particular way - said to be kind, wicked, stupid, energetic, apathetic, and so on. People are not like that. We may say of a man that he is more often kind than cruel, more often wise than stupid, more often energetic than apathetic or vice versa; but it could never be true to say of one man that he is kind or wise, and of another that he is wicked or stupid. Yet we are always classifying mankind in this way. And it is wrong. Human beings are like rivers; the water is one and the same in all of them but every river is narrow in some places, flows swifter in others; here it is broad, there still, or clear, or cold, or muddy or warm. It is the same with men. Every man bears within him the germs of every human quality, and now manifests one, now another, and frequently is quite unlike himself, while still remaining the same man."

— Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection

Part two of Dojin's story from Jason. You can find the first one in the previous post. This time we have action. Dojin will get into unexpected trouble, and it would take nothing short of a miracle to get out of it. Is it the end for him? You will find the answer by reading the story. I also would love to hear some of your stories. What kind of troubles have you gone through? What helped you get through them? Please, share your story in comments and if you'd like it to be posted in our feed, send it in DM.

Jason has shared another one of his writing. This time it's a back story of one of the characters he was developing for the D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) game. I don't understand much about the game but would love to read more of these backstories. It turned out to be very entertaining. Today I'm sharing with you only the first half of the story he sent us. The second half will come later! In the meantime, think, what kind of book Dojin found at the slum library? Maybe it's another Tom Riddle's diary? Suspence.

A poem from Ed about a robot and its search for life purpose. Very imaginative poem. I especially love the lines
"There once defied a robot
That before felt nothing
Tearing asunder and
Like a gun
Had a sole purpose
But in the absence of those that built it
The robot looked down
Upon metal hands
Silted by dust and blood
Found it's answer
Defied it's purpose"
Who knew that a robot would question its purpose and try to build its own path.
