I am a ninja. Good authors are. There are many reasons for this. I’ll prioritize two: Organization isn’t a sexy topic. Satisfying? Oh yes. But not sexy. Writing a book forces you to use your gray matter, which is something we all can benefit from. It’s much-needed practice in taking time to put things where they belong. That makes good habits of being efficient. More importantly it teaches you how to look for commonalities, teaches you to analyze things and people and situations to find their roots. More sexy (perhaps, depending on your past) is introspection. Authors write about situations with which they are familiar. Always. Your book’s about intergalactic Znarfus invading Earth? Sure, there’s imagination at work, but what about character interaction? Character background, experiences, desires, hopes? That’s all based on familiarity, and that takes some inward analysis. Self-objectivity is not easy, but worth the effort. Perhaps you will surprise yourself on just how awesome you really are. Maybe you’ll discover you’ve been blaming others for every bad thing you’ve done. If you take the time to identify such things you are better able to recognize what’s up when situations pop up in the future. Self-awareness and objectivity is powerful stuff. The stuff of ninjas. Be a ninja.
Cruise ship crew have it hard. Cruise ship rock stars have it harder! Bruns is back to expose the high seas art world. In this hilarious sequel he vividly describes his ship life highs and lows, misadventures, mis-flirtations and, through it all, his astute insights into human nature.
