Living as a writer in California, inspiration abounds. From the Bay Area to the Central Coast, from the scenery to the cultural atmosphere, life is full and complementary to a writing life.

Running is my time for organizing my thoughts, and it is an incredible breeding ground for ideas. Often, so many ideas come to me, it's hard to keep track of them till I get home.

 

I'm a marathoner and write about running from the perspective of a 26.2-mile enthusiast. I did my first marathon in 2003, and completed my 21st in 2024, my second California International Marathon. I'll soon start training for my 22nd.

The beauty of the ocean can restore a writer's soul, The Central Coast has to be seen to be believed. Its healing properties stride across your viewfinder with plush resonance.
