On traveling
I love traveling.
Yes, to get away from the job and all that, but being in a different environment is like being a child again. It gives your brain a chance to look at the world in a fresh, new way.
I call it Boggle with the Brain, based on that ever lovable board game, Boggle.
For those unfamiliar with Boggle, you shake up all these dice with letters on it, let them fall and settle into their slots, and then you try to see what words you can find within a certain period of time.
That’s what experiences like travel do to me, and I love it. It’s also the goal I have in all my writing, be it for advertising or for fiction.
