Creator Journals 9/26/25 I’ve completed three chapters of “The Cause of Death” Six more to go! It will probably need a substantial amount of revision, but I’ve got time. I’m still trying to figure out my character’s voice. Also, I was writing in a pretty comedic tone when I wrote “Beach Knight” while I wantContinue reading “Fingers Tired”

The Cause
Creator Journals 9/24/25 My wife’s cat passed yesterday. We ended up having to put him down very early in the morning. She’s had that cat for about 18 years. I’ve known him for over ten. It hit us really hard. I wrote out a heartfelt mini-essay about the complexity of grief, and then I deletedContinue reading “The Cause”
Midnight Blog
Creator Journals 9/23/25 I had a personal tragedy today. I didn’t write, and I’m typing up this blog post at 11PM, just barely crossing the finish line. I don’t really want to talk about it right now. I may talk about it tomorrow, depending on my mood. Either way, tomorrow I’ll begin writing “The CauseContinue reading “Midnight Blog”
Early Autumn Dimness
Creator Journals 9/22/25 Happy Monday everybody. It was a gloriously rainy day. I turned the lights off and worked in the early autumn dimness. A good day. Yeah. I’m gonna throw everything aside and work on my spooky Halloween necromancer story. Well, I’ll at least try to get a few more chapters of Beach KnightContinue reading “Early Autumn Dimness “
Sunday and No Pizza
Creator Journals 9/21/25 Happy Sunday! The sky is gray, and I am pleased. Sunday. I don’t write. I only blog. I want to eat a pizza, but the friends I’m visiting with do not desire pizza. All is lost. I’m like a tattered sail drifting on the surface of the sea. We are now playingContinue reading “Sunday and No Pizza”
The Struggles of Trog
Creator Journals 9/20/25 September is nearing its end. Soon it will truly be October. October 2025. Wow. I got insanely exhausted yesterday. That aside, I would like to get to the point where I can easily grind out 2k words a day before I start “The Cause of Death” so I’m trying to fill inContinue reading “The Struggles of Trog”
Tepid Momentum
Creator Journals 9/19/25 Off work today. I think writing is harder after I’ve gotten my bath. I should try to write in the morning more instead of the afternoon. Got 1k words in and a good bit of revision. Circles is coming along nicely. I’m definitely a bit tired out after Beach Knight, but I’mContinue reading “Tepid Momentum”
Midnight Bus
Crawl to the surface Of the waking world. Your queen calls to you Absent though you have been I have Been Making plans for your arrival To remind the wind what my name is To resurrect the old logos Will and way and reason The keeper and the crossroads demon Until night and day are Continue reading “Midnight Bus”
Revising Chapter 3
Creator Journals 9/16/25 Had a hard day yesterday, but today I’m a bit better. I’m trying to be gentle with myself as far as the writing schedule goes. The original chapter 3 is a bit rough and needs a lot more meat on its bones, but I think I generally know which bones to putContinue reading “Revising Chapter 3”
Redemptive False Start
Creator Journals 9/11/25 The news is too loud today. Can’t get much of anything done. My business has caught up with me and my head is in a cloud. I managed to do a little revision before the cloud consumed me. I went for a walk. I drank coffee and ate two meals. I playedContinue reading “Redemptive False Start”
