“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 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…
Creator Journals 11/17/25 Just another Monday in my mature, adult life. I finished a little side project I was stuck on today. It took some pushing. I had to make myself some dark chocolate hot coco and put extra coffee in it, but now that I’ve cleared the debris off the track, I think the…
Creator Journals 11/16/25 It’s Sunday, I’m rewatching Captain Laserhawk on Netflix. Nonstop nonsense. I loved it. I hope one day I can write weird cartoon shows. One time when I was down on my luck, I wrote an email to Adult Swim and told them to hire me. Now The Holidays are coming and all…
Creator Journals 11/15/25 So, I said I’d have a pitch for my upcoming work, and I have come to deliver. Welcome to Eversolstice: A Vulture’s Tale.– Introducing a brand new holiday tale! Since ancient times, a mysterious figure known only as The Allfather has flown the skies on Feasteve, delivering gifts to the children of…
Creator Journals 11/14/25 So, I’ve got something cooking. I’ve got a new holiday story in the works. It’s late here where I live, and I’m tired, so I’m not going to pitch it, but maybe I’ll do that tomorrow. Today I had to get my car looked at, and a bunch of other stuff, so…
