Creator Journals 9/26/25 Full steam ahead! Chapter four complete! I should be done my rough draft during the first week of October if not sooner. That should give me plenty of time to get a cover and revise. I may even have time to revise a few more chapters of Beach Knight before November! 2kContinue reading “Making Things Up”

Fingers Tired
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.

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.

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.

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”
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”
