So What Do I Blog About?

Creator Journals 11/3//25 I tried to sleep as late as I could this morning. But alas! I have a cat.Also, I had some insurance thing to send for my job, so I got up at 11am. So early. Life is pain. I’m chilling out a bit on the writing this month. I think I woreContinue reading “So What Do I Blog About?”

New Week

Creator Journals 9/30/25 Right after waking up this morning, I went and got some pumpkin spice at Dunkin Donuts. I didn’t want to spend the day being a shut-in again. This is it, the end of September. October starts tomorrow and I’ll be driving straight on into my Halloween project. Today I managed to finishContinue reading “New Week”

I HAVE DONE IT!

Creator Journals 8/30/25 Completed Chapter 11 AND the Epilogue! As I suspected, a wave of fragrant peace has wafted over me! I’m finally free! But am I? No. I am not. I must now revise. I must get the story ready for my beta readers, and after that, I’ll probably move on to a newContinue reading “I HAVE DONE IT!”

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”

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”

Give It Some Spirit

Creator Journals 6/29/25 My spirit is churning. My trip out of town is continuing this week, so I still haven’t had any time to write, but I am going to see the new How To Train Your Dragon movie. I do not expect it to be good. The original was amazing and a live actionContinue reading “Give It Some Spirit”

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!”

Creator Journals 5/16/25

I don’t feel like I’m writing fast enough. The Beach Knight outline has ten chapters and I’m still working on chapter three. Not really sure how I’m going to have it done by the start of July and still have it meet all of my quality goals. Headaches are getting worse lately. Yesterday I spentContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/16/25”

Creator Journals 5/11/25

I watched Conclave last night on a whim. I really liked it. I kind of wish I had the skill to write subtle political dramas like that. The closest I’ve come is probably my WIP Flydragon, which I hope I can release later this or next year. I think a tense drama about the HighContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/11/25”

Creator Journals 5/7/25

My new book is coming out in two days! I should probably be excited about that, but it seems I’ve already emotionally moved on to my next project. I should probably take the time to celebrate my victories more often. If my life is nothing but endless tasks without any satisfaction, I don’t think I’llContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/7/25”
