The ocean and its vastness. The ocean and its dream-inducing qualities. The ocean, to me, is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. But even better: the drive on California Highway 1 from San Simeon to Big Sur. The ocean is as blue as a Crayola crayon. The road is windy and quite intimidating, but oh-so-gorgeous. It\u2019s one of the most spectacular sights I\u2019ve ever seen. And sights like that are important for us writers; we create ideas through beauty and vastness.
