Creator Journals 8/18/25 I went to the dentist again today, but they didn’t keep me waiting around, so I didn’t get to write. It was very early, so I took a nap afterwards, and didn’t get to write until three. I was very relaxed today, so it was actually a little bit hard getting backContinue reading “Levels and Levels”

Having Dreams
Creator Journals 8/12/25 Today, I wrote my first 300 words at the dentist. Yes. Actually like on the dentist chair, head leaned back and everything. They were very polite there, but they did make me wait a while in that room. I was out until about 1PM, then I came home and went back toContinue reading “Having Dreams”
Eleven
Creator Journals 8/9/25 I’m proud of the work I’ve done, and the work I’m doing. Chapter 9 is well underway, and I believe this story will have 11 chapters. That feels like a strange number. It feels more proper to end things on an even number. “Why is that?” I ask myself, and there isContinue reading “Eleven”
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”
Pre-Pre Halloween
Creator Journals 8/1/25 August begins! That means its pre-pre Halloween season! I can slowly start to lean into autumnal activities! Halloween season usually doesn’t last long enough for me to do all the spooky things I want to, scary movie marathons, scary videogames, cider chugging, etc. So I usually start to soft-launch Halloween in theContinue reading “Pre-Pre Halloween”
The Power of the Clock
Creator Journals 7/31/25 It’s 3:20 PM and I’m not at the height of my powers, but I still have enough strength to do what needs to be done. July is ending, and, instead of finishing, Beach Knight is becoming longer. Today I wrote 500 more words. I also began outlining the second book. I hopeContinue reading “The Power of the Clock”
What Builds Your World?
Creator Journals 7/20/25 My players only made it through about half of what I had prepared last night. It was fun! But I think there are a few areas I could improve in. I wrote them down for next time. It’s the last day of my work weekend, and I’m pretty spent. I basically alwaysContinue reading “What Builds Your World?”
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”
