A Voice of Their Own

Creator Journals 6/30/25 Well, it looks like the waiting room at the dentist’s office is the perfect place to get writing done. I drilled through a quick thousand words today while I was waiting for my wife. The scene I’m writing is going on longer than expected. I planned for a quick info dump withContinue reading “A Voice of Their Own”

Give It Some Spirit

Creator Journals 6/29/25 My spirit is churning. My trip out of town is continuing this week, so I still haven’t had any time to write, but I am going to see the new How To Train Your Dragon movie. I do not expect it to be good. The original was amazing and a live actionContinue reading “Give It Some Spirit”

What Is a Bad Guy?

Creator Journals 6/28/25 I didn’t really write today, I’m visiting a friend out of town, but I did finish chapter 5, and I’m excited to get into the meat of chapter 6.  Saw a movie, M3GAN 2.0, and it was really good.

Creator Journals 6/27/25 I did a chunk of revision, then deflated. I spent several hours afterward being deflated. Sometimes that happens to me. However, I am determined to finish revising chapter 5!

I’m trying to bring them from draft 0 (misspellings, sections skipped over, characters talking the sameContinue reading “Do Something Besides Writing”

Is This Real Life?

Creator Journals 6/25/25 600 words in at 10:10am. I’m fighting the good fight, surrounded as I am by gardening sounds and power tool sounds and a lot of talking. I have some confidence in what I’m doing today. The story is coming out a lot better now that I’m not as focused on getting itContinue reading “Is This Real Life?”

I’m The Opposite

Creator Journals 6/24/25 I completed a lot of writing tasks today. I wrote 500 decent words. I outlined, and I revised some of chapter 5. How did I do this? Idk, just by being chill. Sometimes it helps to ramp myself up and make a whole ordeal out of writing. Other times, I just needContinue reading “I’m The Opposite”

Egg of Something Profound

Creator Journals 6/22/25 They say that going to new places, uncommon places, even little things like taking a different path to work in the morning can stimulate the mind to be more creative. I worked at a different location for most of the weekend, and I did different kinds of jobs. I’m looking at BeachContinue reading “Egg of Something Profound”
