I am at a point that I want to explore how to spend my time doing less lawyering and more writing, and/or more music activities -- interests that I have tabled for a long time while I pursued supporting family, kids, my own sense of self-importance (getting free from that at last), etc. It is a time of uncertainty for me now. Do I re-commit to my profession of over 30 years? Do I move in a different direction? Money is an issue. I am not independently wealthy, and have to make a living. So at a minimum I have to keep doing what I've been doing (lawyering) until income starts arriving from other sources. My interests are very broad, include poetry, fiction, songs, screenplays, reviews, essays. I am hoping to be able to pick up information, insight and encouragement from other people who have done it and are doing it. I am looking for friends and fellow adventurers in life, involved in artistic and intellectual pursuits, but down to earth, not too full of themselves, which is how I hope to be myself.
I think I also will start dropping bits and pieces of story and reflection here, to start getting it all in one place. Perhaps the entries might grow into essays, fiction, poems, songs. I won't worry about the coherence or outcome now.
