Is it possible to use the trackpad/touchpad on my MacBook Air laptop as a "slate" to enter Chinese or Japanese characters using Windows' built-in IME support for those languages?

At present, I have to use a third-party USB handwriting pad that comes with a plastic pen to draw on the pad to allow me to write. The pen itself has no electronics and is basically a plastic stick. I figure that it may be possible to eliminate the pad entirely and just use the plastic pen on the trackpad/touchpad on my laptop instead.

Can someone please give me some suggestion on how to do this?
