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. Today I am suffering the consequences of that wine while I hide away in a littleContinue reading “The Fifth of July”
Freedom
Creator Journals 7/4/25 Happy 4th! However you might feel about the USA right now, the date is certainly July 4th. That part is true, and I hope the day is a good one for you. When I was a kid, I used to get up in the morning and watch a small local parade, thenContinue reading “Freedom”
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. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to cram so many introductions into one chapter, but also, I think it could be a neat challenge. Continue reading “Head Full of Projects”
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!”
It Was Just That Easy
Creator Journals 6/23/25 Today I drove my wife to the dentist and while I was sitting in the waiting room, I cranked out 1000 words on my phone. I did it within a span of 15-20 minutes. It was just that easy. Is the lesson here that I need to go to weird locations andContinue reading “It Was Just That Easy”
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”
Creative Crave
Creator Journals 6/21/25 Work has never been busier. I haven’t written any Beach Knight at all today. I ate my lunch at 130pm (I usually eat it at 10am). It’s been a wild and crazy weekend. The upside, writing-wise, is that I learn for the Beach Knight. I want to write about him. I craveContinue reading “Creative Crave”
Summer’s Grace
Creator Journals 6/20/25 Realized yesterday that my self-imposed deadlines are kind of stressing me out a lot. When I made those deadlines, I didn’t realize my job was going to be a hurricane all summer. I need to give myself more grace. That isn’t my fault. I want to do this for the love ofContinue reading “Summer’s Grace”
