“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 12/2/25 I went full tilt into the Eversolstice today, and I love what I wrote! I’m very happy with it. I’m at chapter 2 out of 6 and it’s already about half as long as I planned the whole book to be, so we’ll see what happens. I need to have this draft…
Creator Journals 12/1/25 December, and snow is falling outside, so it’s finally time to announce my holiday tale of dark magic and eldritch forces “Eversolstice” available for pre-order now! Releasing 12/19/25! “What is the nature of holiday spirit? And, if Eternity exists, what must it be like to live inside of it? Vulture sets her…
Creator Journals 11/29/25 It has been a few days! I have been out of town for the holidays and had less internet access than I am used to! I hope my dear readers will forgive me, as I strive not to beat myself up for this brief lapse in output. I’m so excited for Eversolstice.…
Creator Journals 11/25/25 Just finish drafting chapter 1 of Eversolstice. I’m proud of what I’ve created. I think it’s fun and original and strange, and I can’t wait to see how people feel about it. This whole thing is really just supposed to be a fun, holiday side-story, like “Feast of Lights” and “Edreimlecheth’s First…
Creator Journals 11/23/25 I’m trying to figure out what I want for Christmas besides video games. I can’t think of much. It makes me feel lame. So much of what I do and interact with now is immaterial. I write digital books with digital artwork and digital ideas. What is there to want? I haven’t…
Creator Journals 11/22/25 My writing time today was mostly spent transcribing, turning the script I jotted in my notebook into polished, typed narrative. As I type this now, I’m still only halfway through the script. It’s a bit of a tedious part of the process, but it does need to get done, and I think…
Creator Journals 11/21/25 I’ve been reading Rebecca Yarros’ “Fourth Wing”. I realized I’m not really very familiar with the modern “Romantasy” movement, so I wanted to learn, and I’m enjoying myself. It’s definitely a little bit cheesy like a romance novel, but that’s not a bad thing. So far the world-building and characters are fairly…
Creator Journals 11/20/25 Late afternoon coffee mixed with hot coco. For the third time this week. This seems to be my lock-in drink. I’m finding a lot of success in my smaller, personal projects. I’ve also been setting up for Eversolstice for a while. The first main section really needed some pre-writing and character building,…
Carry out the command In my hand As I spread it out like a picnic blanket spanning The world There are countless limitations brought about by perspective And all I need to be is your Horizon Though the edges are tattered as they taper out into The endless night Void, the last frontier A divine…
Creator Journals 11/18/25 I just finished writing for the day, and I feel satisfied. Time to let go. I’ve been working on “Locking in” the last two days. Making myself hot coco, sitting my butt down and writing until I’m done. On better days, I can just write and I don’t have to force myself…
