Creator Journals 9/2/25
Had to travel back home at 4am this morning. 2 hour drive. After that, I had to do some training for work. When I got home, I slept for three hours. Any optimistic projection about how many words I might write or revise today was delusion. But I’m writing a blog post. The universe cannot stop me. I will not lose my chain.
So, I’m about to enter a long period of revisions. That always sort of frustrates me, since I like to quantify my writing progress by word count, but I can’t exactly count out “Words fixed” in the same way. I will be adding quite a bit of new text in the revision, so maybe I can still make my 1k a day target. I don’t know. I’ll have to start tomorrow and see how it goes.
Also, summer is officially over in my mind. I went to a theme park, got hot and sunburned, and I am satisfied. It is September. Pumpkin Spice season.
The Pumpkin Spice will fix me.
Today’s writing tip: Never write when you are full of hate. It will poison your story. Only write when there is love inside you. It may be a small amount of love, but it is the most important creative ingredient.
