The one about waking up at 52 in a hotel is beyond a cool idea, there is a lot to say about how age and success define us and what makes us want to go to work everyday. Are we all just punching a clock so one day we can be in a spa in an African hotel? Like is that the goal? Or is it deeper? You can toggle back and forth from the 52 year old waking up and the 25 year old building up to the day he passes out before waking up in the hotel. There is a lot you can do with non-linear narrative. Write that shit.
I really dig the idea of the blacked-out drunk, and also of you time traveling from 25 to 52 years old in Morocco. Either way, whatever you choose, or if you continue this book about writing a book, I'd be among the first to buy it. You're an excellent writer.
Write the book … one line at a time. It’ll be great, whatever shape it takes. (Oh, and embrace inspiration when it comes, but don’t rely too heavily on it … it’s a flighty friend )
I think you could be successful creating a book of 5 or 6 short stories.

Thanks Ollie. A book is impossible, but maybe a few lines of Chapter 1.
