Creator Journals 8/24/25 I shouldn’t have to blog on Sunday. I shouldn’t have to move or breathe on Sunday. I can’t believe I have to voluntarily abide by the laws I’ve invented for myself. What fiendish oppression. I went for a long walk with my wife. I talked about religion with some friends. My wifeContinue reading “Sunday Lounging”

The Cusp of the End
Creator Journals 8/23/25 I got to sleep until 8AM today. It was amazing! And my wife was home! What a beautiful weekend! I spent a lot of it cleaning and a lot more of it writing! Chapter 10 is done, and, starting next week, I can finally begin writing the last chapter. I feel likeContinue reading “The Cusp of the End”
Legendary Duels
Creator Journals 8/22/25 I am a fan of this story and where it is going. After several days of work, I’m finally off, and very tired, but the creative release has helped me. Turns out, I can write better when I’ve had more than five hours of sleep. When I started on this project, IContinue reading “Legendary Duels”
More Time 2 Write!
Creator Journals 8/21/25 Busy day today. I have to drive four hours for work, so I made sure to fit all of my writing in early in the morning. I would like to have nothing left to do when I get home. I would like to collapse into a pile, regress into a deathlike stupor,Continue reading “More Time 2 Write!”
Mirror Mirror
It’s been a long time since you Spun in the circle Conjuring the light from The lightless living and Dead Pray Tell and Report What is it that keeps a man from becoming Something else? A nameless kind of magic? The Word of God, or A solemn promise to himself? Or are we merely reflectiveContinue reading “Mirror Mirror”
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”
