Creator Journals 7/25/25 Chapter 7 of Beach Knight is complete in its roughest form possible. 10K words of me just trying to get from plot-point to plot point. In celebration of that fact, I thought I might just share some totally random text snippets with zero context and glue them to the chalk-board of myContinue reading “Four Previews”

RANT: I HATE Writing
Creator Journals 7/22/25 I’ve got a headache today, and I’m not really in the best mood, so I’m going to rant. This is going to be kind of a moody, negative rant, so be warned. I hate writing. That’s the short version of it. I hate how much the process itself has to take upContinue reading “RANT: I HATE Writing”
The Purpose of This Blog?
Creator Journals 7/21/25 The main purpose of this blog is for it to function as a personal journal of sorts. I wanted to get used to the idea of posting something daily, and since I try to write fiction daily, I thought that talking about my process might be the best approach. I do worryContinue reading “The Purpose of This Blog?”
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”
A Quiet Anger
Creator Journals 7/6/25 There’s a lot of societal injustice in the world right now. It’s all over the news and all over my social feeds. It’s hard to stay above the water, stay positive and keep it from stressing me out. Stress causes me a number of physical symptoms, so I’m trying my best toContinue reading “A Quiet Anger”
Insert The Vibes
Creator Journals 7/3/25 It’s my day off today. I did a bit of outlining, but I’m going into town soon to meet my wife and watch some fireworks, so I don’t have a lot of extra time. I was going over some of the earlier parts of BK and realized I want to do moreContinue reading “Insert The Vibes”
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”
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”
Creator Journals 6/14/25
I have a few days off this weekend and I’m determined to finish typing chapter 5! As I type this now, I’m a little over halfway through what I estimate to be a 6k word chapter. I pray this momentum can continue, because I really want to get this book out in the summer, evenContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/14/25”
Creator Journals 5/20/25
Somehow it’s already the 20th of May and I’m only three chapters into Beach Knight. Oh well, since I started imprisoning myself in the back room I’ve been more productive. Hey guys, writing books is hard. Sometimes I stare at my outline and think, “Something more interesting should happen in this chapter” and when IContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/20/25”
