I've never built community around my creative work on social media. The noise and vitriol always dissuaded me. But that has to change, and I like the vibes here on Bluesky.

So if anyone in my Audience of Zero™ finds this and is curious—there's your primer.

I'm also in year two of my documentary, *The Unfinished Legacy of Bullet Shih.* It's one of the most challenging projects I've ever taken on. I'll share more as it comes to life. For now, here's a preview reel:

I'm finally on track to publish my first novel this fall. It took longer than expected, but I love the work and I'm grateful to my past self for deciding it was time to finish it.

More soon about *With Love, Budapest*.

Everything in my creative life takes longer than I expect, but deadlines keep me moving. I don't fret when I blow past one if I'm putting in the work and it feels good. I should be so lucky to spend an extra six months with my characters.

My two goals when I landed on 11/21/23:

(1) Finish a novel I'd worked on diligently for two years, and sparsely for a decade before that.

(2) Develop a documentary about an oil painter I knew here in 2002, whose work left a deep impression.

I moved back in November 2023 because I felt a calling to live closer to my art. It's an abstract idea that resonates with some and sparks devil's advocacy in others. But now, entering my third year abroad, I'm finding it wasn't a foolhardy misstep.
