This week’s distraction
This weeks distraction is the upcoming election in Taiwan.
“On 13 January, voters in Taiwan will choose a new president, who will set the tone for relations between the world’s two biggest superpowers for the years to come.
Although the Chinese Communist party (CCP) has never ruled Taiwan, it claims the territory as part of the People’s Republic of China, and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve its long-stated ambition of “reunification”. But an increasing proportion of people see themselves as Taiwanese rather than Chinese, and want little to do with Beijing.”

This week Madhvi made
This week Madhvi made a new 4-week creative writing course called Your Erotic Story. Okay — it’s not just this week, I’ve been working on this course for ages, and I collaborated with a sexological bodyworker to devise with some of the writing exercises for this one, so I’m super excited about it.
It’s going to be a yummy way to connect to your body, create new and exciting texts, and explore your eroticism, no matter your writing level. Every Sunday in Feb at Lettreetage, Berlin Mitte next month. Message unleashcreativemagic@gmail.com if you have questions or to book. Places are limited.
