Hopefully, I can get the other 10 reader-ready in quick succession. I want to be able to get back to the place where I left off in The Kingdom’s Disdain,Continue reading “Beta Readers”

I HAVE DONE IT!
Creator Journals 8/30/25 Completed Chapter 11 AND the Epilogue! As I suspected, a wave of fragrant peace has wafted over me! I’m finally free! But am I? No. I am not. I must now revise. I must get the story ready for my beta readers, and after that, I’ll probably move on to a newContinue reading “I HAVE DONE IT!”
Ralgar, The Beach Knight, Will Change the World; But How?
Creator Journals 8/29/25 Chapter 11, the final chapter, should be done tomorrow, then I just have the epilogue and a bunch of revision to do. I got emotional writing the climax. I got emotional thinking about how far this project has come, about Ralgar’s growth and how much more he’s going to grow in theContinue reading “Ralgar, The Beach Knight, Will Change the World; But How?”
Not Enough
Creator Journals 8/26/25 Today I wanted to write 2k words again, but I got really exhausted after just 1,600. I also didn’t get to do any revision. My drive and perfectionism kind of beat me up. I felt like I was failing, which was absurd, of course. Just a few months ago I wasn’t evenContinue reading “Not Enough”
The Cusp of the End
Creator Journals 8/23/25 I got to sleep until 8AM today. It was amazing! And my wife was home! What a beautiful weekend! I spent a lot of it cleaning and a lot more of it writing! Chapter 10 is done, and, starting next week, I can finally begin writing the last chapter. I feel likeContinue reading “The Cusp of the End”
Before Exploding
Creator Journals 8/15/25 Today I was stuck at a place with no internet. Did I give up? No I did not! I grumbled a little, but then I opened my phone, sat, and wrote 2500 words, finishing chapter 9! There will probably be a lot of cleanup for that one, my phone tends to spaceContinue reading “Before Exploding”
Incoming Disasters
Creator Journals 8/14/25 2000 words written today! I also did a bunch of revision! Chapter 7 is with my first row of readers now. Chapter 9 is a little over halfway done. Things are going so well that I am now awaiting a disaster. A meteor is going to fall from the sky and somehowContinue reading “Incoming Disasters”
I Love Titling Things
Creator Journals 8/10/25 Sunday. I’m out with friends all weekend. I went to see a double-feature. Weapons and The Bad Guys 2. Both very similar movies. Weapons was really creepy and surprisingly funny. It kind of reminded me of Long Legs. Tomorrow I get to hop back into Beach Knight chapter 9. After that, I’mContinue reading “I Love Titling Things”
Churning Out Words
Creator Journals 8/8/25 I’m not sure which group of characters to start revealing next. A lot of them have reveals and first-appearances which I would rather keep to myself until it’s time to publish. I got my thousand words in today. I’m writing a segment from the POV of a side character and I’m tryingContinue reading “Churning Out Words”
Thursday BK Update
Creator Journals 8/7/25 No character bio today. I think I want to reveal the 4th member of the Sea Larks in the story proper. Any good band of troubadours needs a vocalist, and the Sea Larks are no exception. I just finished drafting chapter 8 and it’s very different from the rest of the book.Continue reading “Thursday BK Update”
