Reintroducing myself to Bluesky. Last time, there were just a few of us here. This is what I’m up to:

- Growing law firm with my excellent friends/partners.
- Storytelling. Making short films, writing quirky fiction, and making music.
- Curious about the world.

Glad to see you here. 💖💕

I can hear seals clearly tonight. It happens once in a while even though they are a mile away.

Dusk deepened into night looking down a roadway with cars going in both directions. Christmas lights are strung over the palm lined street. Shops are lit and car headlights are pointing right at us.

Christmas house in red covered in fake snow with a matching red clock tower next to it. Surrounded by pedestrians at an outdoor mall.

I find research just as gratifying as the writing itself - whether it's for fiction or essays. I like seeking & learning, I like it when one piece of art illuminates another. I love when the process makes me feel like a detective cracking the case. denying yourself this pleasure makes no sense to me

There's Discourse about using genAI for writing research, and I want to add that every time I've done research (reading books, emailing the library, talking directly to experts, etc) I always stumble across something that inspires a new direction or adds depth that wouldn't have been there before.

Tonight’s sunset at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California

#sandiego #sdca #pacificbeach #beach #surfing #sunset #sunsetchasers #ocean #landscapes_lovers #photography

Two people walk along the shoreline at low tide, seen as small silhouettes against a pastel sky. Pink and pale gold clouds stretch above the ocean, while dark, wet sand in the foreground reflects the sky in long, rippled bands.
