Good thing? Bad thing? Who knows? (old Sufi woo woo)

Maybe if you'd accepted the price of the golden handcuffs, you'd be stuck in an overpriced east bay suburb with a soul-destroying commute, hefty mortgage, and never have written the book, which was clearly fueled by a touch of outrage. Obviously you've found your true calling. Being a little hungry (or angry) never hurt anyone's motivation levels.

Lol. Well sure, that is the dream.

Loved the book and glad to hear how well it's doing. Can you talk about your writing process a bit? Have you always kept a journal? How did you tackle sitting down to write a book? Was it a matter of pages per day? Did you diagram its structure in advance? What sorts of resources did you leverage for guidance?

I like it, but it's been done. I see you more Paul Theroux-ish, in the grand old tradition of the rugged inconoclast. Looking forward to it. ;)

Ka-ching, niche found. ;)

Fav Theroux? After reading The Happy Isles of Oceania, I suspiciously wondered if the title was meant to be sarcastic.
