This is a great city/town/country (call it what you like). The weather is fantastic, the people are cool, and the work ethic here is unbelievable.
I’ve completely restructured my portfolio in this time and filled it with ads for some of the world’s biggest airlines, theme parks, casinos, hotels and banks. So that’s coo.
I came to Hong Kong to write.
I can’t imagine anywhere else in the world that gives you the fuel to produce so incessantly (as well as the lash to enforce it).
If nothing else I’ve been prolific.
I have written countless articles, three short stories, two websites, four songs, three blogs, a journal, 57 chapters of my book, as well as my daily ad writing that comprises thousands of words a week in print, brochures, TV, outdoor, online - you name it.
Just yesterday I was asked if I would also like to write a monthly column about my perceptions of this frantic town for a prestigious magazine. So that is quite an honour to be considered.
Last night at 8 pm I was assigned an 800 word brochure, I now realize it is due tonight.
Back in the day, in school, we were given three weeks for what I do in one day here.
Madness. Either way, it’s good for me. I like writing, and, I think, I’m getting better.
I’m off to Vietnam tomorrow for four days. It will be a nice little break. So we’ll catch up when I return, hopefully with some pictures and fresh inspiration.
