This probably seems self-serving, but I figured you've answered myriad questions about The Egg and was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving a bit of advice, because you seem wise and stuff. There's a girl in Denmark who likes me. We've been talking about three months, and I have a month off of work because of weird contract issues. I want to fly over and spend a week or two with her. Anyway, I have always wanted to do something wonderfully crazy, it's not the dumbest thing I've done financially and it's awful not being with her. (I'm American). Any wise writer advice?

I'll gladly accept downvotes if this is dumb, and I'll delete it if it's a horrible question, but you can't write The Egg without some great life experience.

Thank you. I'll read The Martian on the way there. You seem proud of it. I like that.
