I don’t feel like I’m writing fast enough. The Beach Knight outline has ten chapters and I’m still working on chapter three. Not really sure how I’m going to have it done by the start of July and still have it meet all of my quality goals. Headaches are getting worse lately. Yesterday I spentContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/16/25”

Don’t think I’m done with the nonbinary orc. I’m not. Since it’s a plot point that Port Starfish is mostly human, with a smattering of dwarves, elves and halflings here and there, an orc kind of stands out. Most of our protagonists are nonhuman creatures that face some amount of social alienation due to thatContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/15/25”

I need some chocolate cake and a stomach that can digest chocolate cake (I’m unfortunately cursed: lactose intolerance!) My day job took a turn for the worse today. While I’d rather not talk openly about what my day job is, just know that when it goes bad it goes very bad. I’ve done some preliminaryContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/14/25”

Last night I spent the whole sleep cycle dreaming that the infamous Jason Voorhees was trying to kill me. That was pretty weird. I’m not really afraid of that dude like at all. I love the Friday the 13th movies because they’re cheesy fun. For whatever reason, he was far more threatening in my dream,Continue reading “Creator Journals 5/13/25”

Yesterday I went birdwatching. This is not something I regularly do. It’s something I pretty much never do. I was invited to join others who were doing it. All the same, I started to notice how much can be gained from spending time in slow observation. I’ve been creating fictionalized facsimiles of nature by writingContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/12/25”

I watched Conclave last night on a whim. I really liked it. I kind of wish I had the skill to write subtle political dramas like that. The closest I’ve come is probably my WIP Flydragon, which I hope I can release later this or next year. I think a tense drama about the HighContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/11/25”

I’m a little behind on my new project, but I’m still in love with it, so I think the quest continues. I just keep seeing the book in my head, hard copy, and I want to make it real. I want to manifest the reality I see in my mind, alchemically turn thought in theContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/10/25”

My new book, Hounds of Ruin, released today!It’s book 10 in my Kingdom’s Disdain series; a story about a lost traveler doing his best to survive on the deadly continent of Laskmeer, making friends and enemies and trying to find purpose. This is a big one for me. Each of the four main characters hasContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/9/25”

Wanna lay in bed today. I got a whole lot done yesterday. Went to work, finished writing a chapter, read and revised for some friends. Today I got up and recorded a podcast episode at 11am and now I feel pretty much spent. I think I’ll still try to squeeze out at least a halfContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/8/25”

My new book is coming out in two days! I should probably be excited about that, but it seems I’ve already emotionally moved on to my next project. I should probably take the time to celebrate my victories more often. If my life is nothing but endless tasks without any satisfaction, I don’t think I’llContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/7/25”
