I was all psyched to write today, then I realized I had a doctor’s appointment in the morning and a work meeting in the afternoon. Now my time is mostly up. My apartment is also kind of a mess, and I probably need to clean it up. Such is life. I’m trying to find aContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/10/25”

I’m temporarily changing my system. I got a little bit stuck in Chapter 5, so I decided I needed to focus a bit more on pre-planning. From now on, for every day I spend writing, I’m going to spend another day vigorously outlining in detail. So far that’s going well. I have an outline forContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/9/25”

The headaches are hunting me like a shark hunting blood.I must hide from them. I can’t stay here long, here in the written word, or they’ll settle on my location and perch in my skull. Lately the idea of marketing and interacting with other writers to build connections feels very exhausting. Sometimes my energy isContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/8/25”

Worldbuilding. Worldbuilding. Worldbuilding. Inventing believable fantasy cultures can be a challenge. I’m not really trying to make something historically accurate, just something that feels like it could function realistically. However, I’m not a history expert in any way shape or form. I don’t know a ton about economics or even natural biology. Whoever said “WriteContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/7/25”

Happy National Donut Day! I forgot to get a donut, and frankly at this moment I don’t really feel like I want one. I’m in Dinner Mode. I want a Meal. I’ll be running a new dungeons and dragons game this weekend. That doesn’t directly tie into Beach Knight, but it’s the same world, andContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/6/25”

I’ve been getting small but important creative work done. I’m building characters, backgrounds, settings and themes . . . but yeah . . . chapter 5 is still mostly not done. A July release date definitely seems unlikely. It’s a gray, rainy day out today, a nice spring/fall window in the summer. I’m thankful forContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/5/25”

The fog is clearing and I’m excited about my story again. My only real issue is that I’m at work, and work is busy. I love my job, but my soul is being depleted. I pray there are enough particles of Me left to write a few hundred words at Starbucks after I leave. FindingContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/4/25”

Hello. I have a migraine today, so this is all the writing I’ll be doing. Got out of bed at 3PM to make sure I got a blog post done. That’s pretty much the limit of my power today. I’ve been trying to read more fantasy so the tones and concepts can naturally flow intoContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/3/25”

I worked on a side story today. There’s a background narrative in Beach Knight that takes place through a series of flashbacks at the start of each chapter. Early on, I didn’t really know what it was going to be, but I’ve got it figured out now, and I’m writing it like a serial inContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/2/25”

Happy June and happy Pride Month! If you’re gay, be gay! If you aren’t, enjoy the weather!I’m still a little bit repulsed by the idea of writing anything else, but I will say a lot of ideas are swirling around in my headspace. Some of my concepts are becoming more solid and meaningful, like I’mContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/1/25”
