Creator Journals 5/21/25

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”

Creator Journals 5/18/25

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”

Creator Journals 5/17/25

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”

Creator Journals 5/9/25

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.

Creator Journals 5/7/25

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”

Creator Journals 5/1/25

I took matters into my own hands and decided to make my own cover using Canva. It was really important to me that my book cover match a certain vibe that I had in my head, and that it have the right set of colors. I’ve been told I’m a synesthesiac before. This book isContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/1/25”

Creator Journals 4/30/25

I’m descending into a hurricane of tasks, all of my own making.Scrambling to get my new book processed. That means I need to do final edits, put together a blurb, find good keywords (a shamanistic practice I still haven’t even come close to mastering) and somehow get a cover. Covers drive me crazy. Despite everything,Continue reading “Creator Journals 4/30/25”

Creator Journals 4/27/25

I don’t usually write on Sundays. That’s kind of a rule I’ve set for myself. I think it’s important to have a day without any work or any expectations of work, if possible. Writing is something I do for fun, but it also drains some of my energy. I don’t always feel the drain atContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/27/25”

Weird Dreams Daily 5 “Dream Chronicle”

Hi, I’m author, anime critic and Mazda 6 owner Paul Lang, and this is my daily blog. Today on Weird Dreams Daily, I’m going to talk about some weird dreams. Novel concept, right? So my dreams are rarely very coherent. They tend to be jumbles of constantly shifting narrative. I don’t have realistic, inception styleContinue reading “Weird Dreams Daily 5 “Dream Chronicle””
