Matador Network spoke to Bruce about Looptail and the power of transformative travel. From the interview:
“I’m not a ‘writer,’” said Bruce. “It’s anti-me to be so ‘open.’ Over the course of the last five years, I’ve done a lot of public speaking…I consider myself a great storyteller, and I knew I had a story to tell. When I met Our Holiness in April of 2012, and saw his level of giving, it inspired me to get over my own privacy issues, and make an impact on people.”
Bruce approached the writing of the book from a 21st-century perspective: A large percentage of Looptail was created on his phone, using apps such as Evernote.
“I typed up my inspiration using one finger, on planes, trains, in the backseats of cars — I’m grateful for magical editors, who helped shape my thoughts and ideas. It’s not like I was writing a book about a school for wizards — it was my life that was pouring out of me.”
