Summer’s Grace

Creator Journals 6/20/25 Realized yesterday that my self-imposed deadlines are kind of stressing me out a lot. When I made those deadlines, I didn’t realize my job was going to be a hurricane all summer. I need to give myself more grace. That isn’t my fault. I want to do this for the love ofContinue reading “Summer’s Grace”

Ferm’s POV

Creator Journals 6/19/25 Are the titles a bad decision? I feel like I was getting more views before I started using titles. I kind of like them, but I’m a little disappointed by the results. Originally, I didn’t want to use titles because I wanted these blog posts to take as little energy as possibleContinue reading “Ferm’s POV”

Loud Justice

Creator Journals 6/18/25 Today was a disastrous day at work. Literally an all-day stress adventure kind of situation. I didn’t get to write 1k words. I got to beef up my outline for chapter 6 just a little bit, but that’s about it. Even this journal entry is coming at the end of my day,Continue reading “Loud Justice”

Today is Progress

Creator Journals 6/17/25 What is today’s progress? Today is progress! I’m writing and I will never stop writing! Try and stop me! I finished drafting chapter 5! The last couple pages are pretty rough, so I’ll have to go over and do some big revisions, hopefully tomorrow. Why did I decide to try and writeContinue reading “Today is Progress”

I’m Beginning to Believe

Creator Journals 6/16/25 Today I’m warding away my stress headaches by telling myself I’m not stressed. Happy Monday everyone! It’s 6/16 and you know what that means! (No, you probably don’t. I experienced a personal trauma on this date over ten years ago, so the number still sticks out to me!)Be that as it may,Continue reading “I’m Beginning to Believe”

Creator Journals 6/15/25

I realize this is a late one, but I’ll be damned if I miss a day of blogging. I haven’t missed a day in 50 days, which is honestly crazy for me. Also, the sun is still out here in the nation of Ohio. Today was Father’s Day, so my wife and I spent theContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/15/25”

Creator Journals 6/14/25

I have a few days off this weekend and I’m determined to finish typing chapter 5! As I type this now, I’m a little over halfway through what I estimate to be a 6k word chapter. I pray this momentum can continue, because I really want to get this book out in the summer, evenContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/14/25”

Creator Journals 6/13/25

It’s Friday the 13th, so I would like to say happy birthday to Jason Voorhees! Forever in our hearts. Gone but not forgotten (Until he comes back again). On the subject of villains, one of my favorite types is probably the “Anti-Villain”. There are probably a lot of different ways that a lot of differentContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/13/25”

Creator Journals 6/12/25

I wrote a paragraph I really liked today, and I wish I could have kept the streak going, but work, work, work. After work I’m usually too tired to write much. I’m hoping my job calms down soon. I’ve been thinking about villains lately. What makes them interesting? For me, I like when they haveContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/12/25”

Creator Journals 6/11/25

Last night, my wife and I went to see the preview for Dan Da Dan Season 2 in theaters. I don’t have a lot to actually say about that, it was just really good and the plot was really tightly written. The Kingdom’s Disdain involves a lot of strange monsters and the monster Dan DaContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/11/25”
