Failure at Selling Out

Creator Journals 8/19/25 Dentist again today. It is a dental kind of week. I got about 500 words in before I had to take off. I might just accept that for what it is. The mind and body need rest, and I’m on the path to the home stretch. Before today, I’d been completing aboutContinue reading “Failure at Selling Out”

Levels and Levels

Creator Journals 8/18/25 I went to the dentist again today, but they didn’t keep me waiting around, so I didn’t get to write. It was very early, so I took a nap afterwards, and didn’t get to write until three. I was very relaxed today, so it was actually a little bit hard getting backContinue reading “Levels and Levels”

Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop

Creator Journals 8/17/25 No writing today. It is the day of rest. I think that lately, I’ve had trouble turning off Creative Mode: The high energy version of myself that feeds off inspiration and constantly wants to produce more. This version of me is super useful and fulfilling, but he’s kind of bad at havingContinue reading “Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop”

Ghosts of Jokes

Creator Journals 8/16/25 I’m on chapter 10 now, 2k words in. This is the penultimate chapter. I’m getting close. A lot of what I have left to write is action scenes and dramatic resolutions. Starting chapter 10 involved going back to the original draft of the climax and trying to figure out which parts IContinue reading “Ghosts of Jokes”

Before Exploding

Creator Journals 8/15/25 Today I was stuck at a place with no internet. Did I give up? No I did not! I grumbled a little, but then I opened my phone, sat, and wrote 2500 words, finishing chapter 9! There will probably be a lot of cleanup for that one, my phone tends to spaceContinue reading “Before Exploding”

Incoming Disasters

Creator Journals 8/14/25 2000 words written today! I also did a bunch of revision! Chapter 7 is with my first row of readers now. Chapter 9 is a little over halfway done. Things are going so well that I am now awaiting a disaster. A meteor is going to fall from the sky and somehowContinue reading “Incoming Disasters”

Duel

Weaving beneath the tides of the sea I Follow the tides Rising Falling Coming up to deny the air Going beneath to collect salt deposits For what is life without flavor and seasoning And what is death without a reason to die Cliffs stained with red Shores dried out like bones And a war withContinue reading “Duel”

Having Dreams

Creator Journals 8/12/25 Today, I wrote my first 300 words at the dentist. Yes. Actually like on the dentist chair, head leaned back and everything. They were very polite there, but they did make me wait a while in that room. I was out until about 1PM, then I came home and went back toContinue reading “Having Dreams”

Making Up Weird Guys

Creator Journals 8/11/25 I turned one tiny point in my outline into a thousand words today. I fear I’m becoming too powerful. Additionally, some things at my job have changed in a positive way which should also allow for me to have a little more mental energy saved up. My book is getting better andContinue reading “Making Up Weird Guys”

I Love Titling Things

Creator Journals 8/10/25 Sunday. I’m out with friends all weekend. I went to see a double-feature. Weapons and The Bad Guys 2. Both very similar movies. Weapons was really creepy and surprisingly funny. It kind of reminded me of Long Legs. Tomorrow I get to hop back into Beach Knight chapter 9. After that, I’mContinue reading “I Love Titling Things”
