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”
Circles
Creator Journals 9/10/25 I started revisions on The Kingdom’s Disdain book 11 today, and let me tell you, the daily Beach Knight grind has improved my writer’s instinct immensely! I’m improving the structure in so many of my old sentences and adding a lot to the word count. So, look forward to The Kingdom’s DisdainContinue reading “Circles”
Kinda Tired
Creator Journals 9/9/25 I released chapter 2 to my beta readers today. It was an off day. I slept till 11 and I’m still tired. I think I need a Sleep Week, where all I do is sleep. I might have enough PTO saved up to make that a reality, but with my luck, I’dContinue reading “Kinda Tired”
How Far We’ve Come
Creator Journals 9/6/25 Well, I thought I’d just sit down and fix chapter 2 in one go, but it turns out it’s only 3k words long (as opposed to the later chapters, which are all at least 10k) and really kind of a mess. I think this one may take a bit to reach theContinue reading “How Far We’ve Come”
Levels and Levels
Creator Journals 8/18/25 I went to the dentist again today, but they didn’t keep me waiting around, so I didn’t get to write. It was very early, so I took a nap afterwards, and didn’t get to write until three. I was very relaxed today, so it was actually a little bit hard getting backContinue reading “Levels and Levels”
The Power of the Clock
Creator Journals 7/31/25 It’s 3:20 PM and I’m not at the height of my powers, but I still have enough strength to do what needs to be done. July is ending, and, instead of finishing, Beach Knight is becoming longer. Today I wrote 500 more words. I also began outlining the second book. I hopeContinue reading “The Power of the Clock”
