Happy March!

I'm having an eventful month, and April is shaping up to be even more so. So there's a lot of event planning going on around here. I did get a chance to hike a bit in Seattle, which was a nice break from the spreadsheets and flyers ...

In other news, was on a podcast, talking to Mike Czerniewski about public transit. We need to be troubleshooting and maintaining the transit system so more people can use it.

The Neighborhood Watch (a short film)

I co-wrote and co-directed a short film, and we're premiering it in Long Beach on April 1.

A gripping tale of four dysfunctional members of a neighborhood watch as they try to solve a crime terrorizing their town. Or something.

Or catch it virtually here.

South Bay LA Climate Events

Here's a guide I helped make, to local LA climate events. They're a fun way to get out of the house and meet the climate community.

(Not in LA? I'm working on a tool to help you find a similar guide in your city! Let me know if you're interested and where you are.)

Corners on Fruit

Pomegranates are fascinating, the more you look at them.

Pomegranates are not quite round. They have corners.

I noticed it when I set myself a challenge to draw a ‘plant’ every day, and decided fruits would count as plants.

In the Works

I'm working on plans for Earth Day and LA Climate Week. And making slow progress on Land's Grudge, my sequel to Fire's Ally. This is my favorite part of the process, making lots of notes, diagrams, and worldbuilding entries.

So those are some of the things going on! Hope you're having a good March.

Best wishes,

-Deepti

Art & Writing from D.
