I'm finished with the co-editing of "The Sage Handbook of Propaganda" and am now co-editing the second edition of the "Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy" with Nick Cull of USC. My nation brand Japan book has been translated into Japanese for release summer 2019.

Write. Write. Write. Find your voice. Write, even if no one will read it.

It's a lifelong purpose. Each day I have a reason to get up and express myself. I also get to meet my rock stars--famous writers--whose vision and passion inspires my own.

It happens to everyone so I just roll with it. If it persists, then I pursue other interests (public speaking, executive coaching, teaching) and inevitably my passion to write returns.

I'm always inspired to write so I don't have to do anything special to feel that way. That said, writing is not easy. It's never perfect. I have my good writing days and some days where I'm not as motivated to write. I strive to write every day, even if it's just a half a page or a page, just as I like to exercise every day. You must stay very curious about the world in order to stay inspired to write.

I've lived in Tokyo, Japan half-time the last three years. I can still recall a friend telling me in 2012 how much Japan needed to internationalize. I said, "What?" One of the world's leading economies isn't global?! It struck me as odd. Now I get it. Japan's technology and know-how in the world is obvious, its culture pervades, but the mentality of going global is lagging. This is why I call Japan's global efforts as an "awkward embrace."
