How many of you get jet lag? Quite a few I imagine, and for me, it’s always been rough, but this time I had a trick up my sleeve and it was rather simple, no caffeine or sugar on the plane or when I arrive until I get some sleep. It worked well enough, allowing me to at least get some hours rest, though I still had jet lag for many days into the journey. Even as I was tired I knew there was work to be done, and that no easy rest could come until I had finished what I had set out to do over the past year, and that is completing the first draft of my third novel, The Capsule, which I had imagined on my trip inside the very Capsule hotel I was staying at, and, because of a mutual friend who connected us, I had met a movie producer in Sendai who liked the plot and offered to have a look once it was finished. This was one of those dream moments every writer hopes to have, and for me it was laid in my lap out of the blue.
