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”

My Next Big, Boring Project

Creator Journals 7/7/25 I didn’t write any Beach Knight today. Instead, I prepped and wrote lore for a D&D game I’m about to run. I use the same world for my D&D games and my books, so it helps out regardless.  It struck me today just how many people groups I’m inventing. How many nationsContinue reading “My Next Big, Boring Project”

The Fifth of July

Creator Journals 7/5/25 Last night was the 4th of July so I watched “Sinners”. It was really well written, direct and acted, but I wasn’t sure what it was trying to say.  I also drank way too much wine.

Head Full of Projects

Creator Journals 7/2/25 I’m hot off a writing streak. Just pounded out a thousand words for chapter 6. I’m introducing a lot of my side characters in this chapter.

A Voice of Their Own

Creator Journals 6/30/25 Well, it looks like the waiting room at the dentist’s office is the perfect place to get writing done. I drilled through a quick thousand words today while I was waiting for my wife. The scene I’m writing is going on longer than expected. I planned for a quick info dump withContinue reading “A Voice of Their Own”

Buy Now For Sand!

Creator Journals 6/27/25 I did a chunk of revision, then deflated. I spent several hours afterward being deflated. Sometimes that happens to me. However, I am determined to finish revising chapter 5! I’m going over it now as I type this blog post.  I’ve got a little more passion for my story. I’m coming upContinue reading “Buy Now For Sand!”

Egg of Something Profound

Creator Journals 6/22/25 They say that going to new places, uncommon places, even little things like taking a different path to work in the morning can stimulate the mind to be more creative. I worked at a different location for most of the weekend, and I did different kinds of jobs. I’m looking at BeachContinue reading “Egg of Something Profound”
