I write every day, but I don’t share every day.

As I start to write this post, memories of blog writing back in the day pop into my head — when it felt like I was over sharing Chico’s Observations too frequently. Then I joined a writing collective in Vancouver, Factory4, with some super-creative writers and spoken-word artists. Everything felt right again — about writing. Re-inspired. Circa 2000–2005.

Present day.

Every morning, I write. So I haven’t stopped.

But writing and social media are weird. At first, it felt like the perfect fit: built-in audience, grow your audience, instant. Then you slowly realize that either no one reads much, or they definitely don’t want to read your shit.

Video and photographs. Storytelling without words.

The summer was up and down. It started sunny and friendly, then quickly turned fiery and unpleasant. Our friends-and-family time was cut short, but filled with love. The love pouring back into our supportive community helped turn those frowns upside down in the city.

Music helped heal and bring joy to us all. First, an unforgettable weekend brushing up against the stars in Vancouver, with amazing performances by @dominicfike and @tameimpala
Love returning to our old stomping grounds!

The music kept rolling locally, with @akadaisyband releasing their first single, KNOW IT ALL. Wow!! Another highlight of the summer was spending some time with the guys in the studio and getting to hear these new songs coming out soon. Can’t wait!!

Plus, all the visual work at @phreeagentcreative kept things busy. Meeting new clients and creating new stories taking us into the fall and this last quarter of 2026!

Let’s see what tales are written next for the rest of 2026!
