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”

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 Memorial Day! Summer has unofficially started, so my wife and I watched Mamoru Hosoda’s 2009 masterpiece, Summer Wars. I had never seen it before and it was really good! I want to watch as many “Summer” themed movies as possible, since I’m trying to inject my new project with those vibes. The nature ofContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/26/25”

Yesterday I got kind of depressed and started to feel like none of this really mattered. Then, I got an idea for a new scene in Beach Knight and immediately I was healed. Sometimes inspiration is medicine to me, or food even. Mind and body are closer than people think. That which is good forContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/24/25”

I think I’ve finally got the email form sorted out. It might not be pretty, but it’s a start! Now I need to come up with things to put in emails! I’ve been told that all writers need to have an email list, so here I am.Sorry if the technical details are not all thatContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/23/25”

I spent a part of the afternoon struggling with MailChimp and MailerLite. I know that it’s important to have an email list, but I am not at all tech savvy. Every time I post the HTML block in the post I click on preview and it looks fine, then I hit update and it looksContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/22/25”

It’s hard writing and also having a job. Usually, after I get done work at three, I sit down at Starbucks, order a hot chocolate (way too late in the day for me to have coffee) and try to write for thirty minutes or so. Most of the time I’m too tired to write moreContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/21/25”

It’s a Sunday and my wife is playing Devil May Cry 2 again. She says it might be her favorite. What have I done?Since it’s Sunday the only writing I’m doing is on this blog. I’m excited to start my One Hour Challenge on Monday. I think whatever happens, I’ll learn a lot. I’ve alsoContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/18/25”

I had a new idea, “What if I locked in for an entire hour every day instead of focusing on word count?” In my head, it’s a very attractive idea. It would be like going to the gym regularly, but for writing. See, while I’m decent at writing frequently, staying focused for a sustained amountContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/17/25”
