How We Handle Writer’s Block
Creator Journals 8/28/25 I had to get up and clean early this morning. Afterwards, I did not feel like writing at all. I just felt like laying on the couch with my eyes closed.

Shelf Life

Not Enough
Creator Journals 8/26/25 Today I wanted to write 2k words again, but I got really exhausted after just 1,600. I also didn’t get to do any revision. My drive and perfectionism kind of beat me up.

What fiendish oppression. I went for a long walk with my wife. I talked about religion with some friends. My wifeContinue reading “Sunday Lounging”

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!”
