Churning Out Words

Creator Journals 8/8/25 I’m not sure which group of characters to start revealing next. A lot of them have reveals and first-appearances which I would rather keep to myself until it’s time to publish.  I got my thousand words in today. I’m writing a segment from the POV of a side character and I’m tryingContinue reading “Churning Out Words”

Thursday BK Update

Creator Journals 8/7/25 No character bio today. I think I want to reveal the 4th member of the Sea Larks in the story proper. Any good band of troubadours needs a vocalist, and the Sea Larks are no exception. I just finished drafting chapter 8 and it’s very different from the rest of the book.Continue reading “Thursday BK Update”

Character Bio: Aina

Creator Journals 8/3/25 I said yesterday that I would be running through some character bios for Beach Knight characters this week, so I guess I’ll start that. I may not say much about the most central characters, since I think I want their stories to unfold with the narrative.  I’ll start by introducing a bandContinue reading “Character Bio: Aina”

The Coming Week in Blog

Creator Journals 8/2/25 Chapter 8 is coming along. It’s definitely coming along. Some of it borders on obscene. There are many things I may change in the next draft.  Generally, my schedule is looking like this: I’m going to try and finish draft 1 of Beach Knight by the end of August, then, in September,Continue reading “The Coming Week in Blog”

Pre-Pre Halloween

Creator Journals 8/1/25 August begins! That means its pre-pre Halloween season! I can slowly start to lean into autumnal activities! Halloween season usually doesn’t last long enough for me to do all the spooky things I want to, scary movie marathons, scary videogames, cider chugging, etc. So I usually start to soft-launch Halloween in theContinue reading “Pre-Pre Halloween”

The Power of the Clock

July is ending, and, instead of finishing, Beach Knight is becoming longer. Today I wrote 500 more words. I also began outlining the second book. I hopeContinue reading “The Power of the Clock”
