“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 6/20/25 Realized yesterday that my self-imposed deadlines are kind of stressing me out a lot. When I made those deadlines, I didn’t realize my job was going to be a hurricane all summer. I need to give myself more grace. That isn’t my fault. I want to do this for the love of

Creator Journals 6/19/25 Are the titles a bad decision? I feel like I was getting more views before I started using titles. I kind of like them, but I’m a little disappointed by the results. Originally, I didn’t want to use titles because I wanted these blog posts to take as little energy as possible

Creator Journals 6/17/25 What is today’s progress? Today is progress! I’m writing and I will never stop writing! Try and stop me! I finished drafting chapter 5!

I realize this is a late one, but I’ll be damned if I miss a day of blogging. I haven’t missed a day in 50 days, which is honestly crazy for me. Also, the sun is still out here in the nation of Ohio. Today was Father’s Day, so my wife and I spent the

I have a few days off this weekend and I’m determined to finish typing chapter 5! As I type this now, I’m a little over halfway through what I estimate to be a 6k word chapter. I pray this momentum can continue, because I really want to get this book out in the summer, even

It’s Friday the 13th, so I would like to say happy birthday to Jason Voorhees! Forever in our hearts. Gone but not forgotten (Until he comes back again). On the subject of villains, one of my favorite types is probably the “Anti-Villain”. There are probably a lot of different ways that a lot of different

I wrote a paragraph I really liked today, and I wish I could have kept the streak going, but work, work, work. After work I’m usually too tired to write much. I’m hoping my job calms down soon. I’ve been thinking about villains lately. What makes them interesting? For me, I like when they have

Last night, my wife and I went to see the preview for Dan Da Dan Season 2 in theaters. I don’t have a lot to actually say about that, it was just really good and the plot was really tightly written. The Kingdom’s Disdain involves a lot of strange monsters and the monster Dan Da
