Creator Journals 7/19/25 Exhaustion is back in style today. I did some writing and some game prepping earlier, but now I’m tired. I’d like to take a nap. But I cannot. I am at work, and after work I will be running the D&D game I’ve been going on about. I’m excited about that, butContinue reading “Having Trouble Staying Awake At 1:56PM”

All Writers Should Play Games
Creator Journals 7/18/25 The creative portion of this day has been spent with D&D prep. I haven’t written any fiction, but I have my game Saturday and I want to sand down all the rough edges. I feel good about my worldbuilding and my characters. Running D&D is interesting for me, because it’s like writingContinue reading “All Writers Should Play Games”
Yeah, Blog Post
Creator Journals 7/17/25 This is the only writing I’m doing today. I refuse to lose my streak. I will blog. I will blog today and always. I tried to fast today. Well, more accurately, I tried to spend the day only eating fruit. I used to fast a lot, but haven’t done it in aContinue reading “Yeah, Blog Post”
Economic Report
Creator Journals 7/15/25 Another good writing day. I expanded what I originally imagined to be a small scene into a full thousand word segment, and it really worked both comedically and for the characters. At the current rate, Beach Knight is probably going to come out somewhere between 100k and 120k words, like a realContinue reading “Economic Report”
The Baddest
Creator Journals 7/14/25 I have some real momentum lately. I just went on a creative thinking walk to try and shore up my villain’s main motivation. The villain in Beach Knight is a particularly sinister one. On some level, I want them to be so villainous that the reader won’t want to relate to them.Continue reading “The Baddest”
Anatomy of Thefwin Peachwillow
Creator Journals 7/13/25 It’s a Sunday so I’m not obligated to think. In fact, I might be religiously required to not think. That’s one interpretation of the Fourth Commandment, maybe. So I’m just going to talk about Thefwin Peachwillow a bit more. The best blog posts come in trilogies, after all. She’s 5’5, which isContinue reading “Anatomy of Thefwin Peachwillow”
Considering Thefwin Peachwillow
Creator Journals 7/12/25 What can I say about Thefwin Peachwillow that wouldn’t spoil the story. Well, first off, she’s not a major character. She’s a character I made specifically to fit a role in a chapter that required a large and diverse cast. She’s an elf, but she’s an elf that leans into her racialContinue reading “Considering Thefwin Peachwillow”
The Importance of Thefwin Peachwillow
Creator Journals 7/11/25 I’m going to see Superman tonight, and I’m pretty excited about that! It’s a warm, rainy day. I prefer warm rainy days to cold rainy days.Beach Knight is coming along. Chapter 7 is very good so far. I think I’ve started to finally actually find my footing with this one. Who knows,Continue reading “The Importance of Thefwin Peachwillow”
Drill It Into My DNA
Creator Journals 7/10/25 It was a busy day today, and I still managed to get out 1500 words and finish chapter 6. I’ve been busy and stressed, but I think I’m getting stronger. I think I’m gaining a better immunity to distractions. I’ve also started going on daily walks and drinking more water, so it’sContinue reading “Drill It Into My DNA”
The Bad News and The Good News
Creator Journals 7/8/25 Can you believe it’s already the 8th of July? It was the 7th just yesterday! Man! For mysterious reasons, the headaches are back today, so that’s limiting what I can write by a lot. I’m finding difficulty just writing this blog post, in fact. I think I need to reconfigure my publishingContinue reading “The Bad News and The Good News”
