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 7/26/25 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.

Four Previews

Creator Journals 7/25/25 Chapter 7 of Beach Knight is complete in its roughest form possible. 10K words of me just trying to get from plot-point to plot point. In celebration of that fact, I thought I might just share some totally random text snippets with zero context and glue them to the chalk-board of myContinue reading “Four Previews”

RANT: I HATE Writing

Creator Journals 7/22/25 I’ve got a headache today, and I’m not really in the best mood, so I’m going to rant. This is going to be kind of a moody, negative rant, so be warned. I hate writing. That’s the short version of it. I hate how much the process itself has to take upContinue reading “RANT: I HATE Writing”

The Purpose of This Blog?

Creator Journals 7/21/25 The main purpose of this blog is for it to function as a personal journal of sorts. I wanted to get used to the idea of posting something daily, and since I try to write fiction daily, I thought that talking about my process might be the best approach. I do worryContinue reading “The Purpose of This Blog?”
