“The beast of the gulch is on the move. It hunts without reason. It kills without eating. Its prey is the sound of a beating heart. Within the shallows of the gulch dwells death.”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Special Effects Chest pain Is a constant A wall between myself and the body There is a chronology that I am separated from as I hover Above the flesh, noncommittal Like a prince who can’t make up his mind You’re falling into the water You’re stumbling…
Creator Journals 7/25/25 Chapter 7 of Beach Knight is complete in its roughest form possible. 10K words of me just trying to get from plot-point to plot point. In celebration of that fact, I thought I might just share some totally random text snippets with zero context and glue them to the chalk-board of my…
Creator Journals 7/24/25 I was pretty negative in my last post, so today I’m going to balance it out by listing some things that make me happy. Feel free to comment things that make you happy as well, reader! Finishing a blog post. That feels pretty nice too. Today’s writing tip: Write more and you’ll…
Keeper of the cross Judge me and find me wanting More, for angels have numerous eyes and None of them see the way men do.– I extend my hand From the pulpit Reaching down to you who are Weary and heavy laden Can you save me from this place?– Beast of the circle Hunt me…
Creator Journals 7/22/25 I’ve got a headache today, and I’m not really in the best mood, so I’m going to rant. This is going to be kind of a moody, negative rant, so be warned. I hate writing. That’s the short version of it. I hate how much the process itself has to take up…
Creator Journals 7/21/25 The main purpose of this blog is for it to function as a personal journal of sorts. I wanted to get used to the idea of posting something daily, and since I try to write fiction daily, I thought that talking about my process might be the best approach. I do worry…
Creator Journals 7/20/25 My players only made it through about half of what I had prepared last night. It was fun! But I think there are a few areas I could improve in. I wrote them down for next time. It’s the last day of my work weekend, and I’m pretty spent. I basically always…
Creator Journals 7/19/25 Exhaustion is back in style today. I did some writing and some game prepping earlier, but now I’m tired. I’d like to take a nap. But I cannot. I am at work, and after work I will be running the D&D game I’ve been going on about. I’m excited about that, but…
Creator Journals 7/18/25 The creative portion of this day has been spent with D&D prep. I haven’t written any fiction, but I have my game Saturday and I want to sand down all the rough edges. I feel good about my worldbuilding and my characters. Running D&D is interesting for me, because it’s like writing…
Creator Journals 7/17/25 This is the only writing I’m doing today. I refuse to lose my streak. I will blog. I will blog today and always. I tried to fast today. Well, more accurately, I tried to spend the day only eating fruit. I used to fast a lot, but haven’t done it in a…
Voracity Carnal in incarnation Can you lack any visible signs of entry? – Keep the noise locked away? When I saw you last night, you were Not the same Your eyes were like long streams Washing through cracks and crags – At the ebb and flow Beck and call Cradle the motive And we all rise And…
