Peter Carey: ‘Everybody Else Thought I Was an Advertising Copywriter, but I Knew Who I Was.’
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 06.15.12 | 10:27 AM ET
Novelist and travel author Peter Carey talks with the Globe and Mail about writing, his newest novel and how his career began: “Having read nothing, knowing nothing, I decided in 1962 that writing was what I was going to do. Everybody else thought I was an advertising copywriter, but I knew who I was.”
He adds that life at the ad agency was nothing like “Mad Men.”
Carey’s “Wrong About Japan” was on our list of the 100 Most Celebrated Travel Books of All Time.

Intuition provides help accessing the guidance generally not available to our senses.
Refer to it as a still voice, a hint or a gut feeling - whenever it begins occurring you will
understand that it’s no accident.!
Dowsing is a method someone can use to gain access to the intuition by using dowsing pendulum as well as divining rod.
I’ve been using it for a quite a while and I do believe any one will likely learn it.

after it starts occurring you will know it’s no coincidence.!
Dowsing is a method one can use to gain access to the intuition by means of dowsing pendulum or maybe divining rod.
I have been practicing it for a quite a while and I really believe virtually anyone can easily learn it.
