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
Creator Journals 7/31/25 It’s 3:20 PM and I’m not at the height of my powers, but I still have enough strength to do what needs to be done. 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”
Hamburgers and How They Are Made
Red, white, and polluted Blew up the shoot In reversed motion like Spiders crawling back into Egg sacs If you have what it takes If you can maintain the look You too can be weighed and found wanting More and more divine judgement While a man in torn jeans and fingerless gloves parts the redContinue reading “Hamburgers and How They Are Made”
Uneven Chapters
Creator Journals 7/29/25 I woke up really excited to write today, and indeed, I’m proud to report I’m 2k words into chapter eight, which is shaping up to be just as long as the previous two! I’ve run into just one main snag. The later chapters in my book are becoming significantly longer than theContinue reading “Uneven Chapters”
Rapid-Fire Googling
Creator Journals 7/28/25 Chapter 8 is off to a good start. It’s definitely a departure from the tone of the rest of the book, but I love departing from my tone, it creates a good sense of contrast in the world. If I try to make the first section sound more down-to-earth and realistic, theContinue reading “Rapid-Fire Googling”
Assorted Sunday Night Rambles
Creator Journals 7/27/25 No writing on Sunday. Just blogging. Last night I watched “Death of a Unicorn” . It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Paul Rudd play an unlikable character. A unicorn horror movie is a great idea. I wish I had come up with it.Later today, I’m seeing The Fantastic Four. I hopeContinue reading “Assorted Sunday Night Rambles”
Opportunities To Eat Strange Animals
Creator Journals 7/26/25 Today I ate a gator on a stick. I saw a cow made of butter. I went to the state fair. So . . . I didn’t really do any writing. I definitely sat and thought about writing while I was on the drive up. I’m still trying to put together myContinue reading “Opportunities To Eat Strange Animals”
