Creator Journals 10/2/25 I’m writing this from a coffee shop, where I recently drank something called a “Caramel Ghost Latte.” It was delicious, though I may end up regretting all of this caffeine consumption so late in the day. I just finished drafting Chapter 7, and it’s preeeeetty rough. I guess I should have anticipatedContinue reading “Caramel Ghost”

Ghosts of Jokes
Creator Journals 8/16/25 I’m on chapter 10 now, 2k words in. This is the penultimate chapter. I’m getting close. A lot of what I have left to write is action scenes and dramatic resolutions. Starting chapter 10 involved going back to the original draft of the climax and trying to figure out which parts IContinue reading “Ghosts of Jokes”
WD 208 “Edge of Dream”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Edge of Dream It’s genetic They say The trials of birth leave a mark on The mind of a child Of ghostly origin tell me nothing Of spirit imbued, leave it in the apocrypha And if I’m too hasty to label myself existent Tell the judgesContinue reading “WD 208 “Edge of Dream””
WD 203 “Shadow Kid”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Shadow Kid Blink and you’ll miss me An afterimage on a polaroid camera You see the fearful wince between a smile and a smirk Optical illusion between two equidistant lines It cuts a figure in the green negative space where you looked Too close to theContinue reading “WD 203 “Shadow Kid””
WD 141 “The Courtroom”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 121 “Hungry Ghost”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Hungry Ghost Take me home, at last I waited in the wings, posed with claws outstretched Wings ten cubits tip to tip I knew I was too heavy to carry, so I left my body behind A sad memento of futile thinking, underneath a shallow layerContinue reading “WD 121 “Hungry Ghost””
WD 109 “Yuki-Onna”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Yuki-Onna Your words will never sway me And nothing can make me stay Execution of the will Isolation of the mind His eyes, tearful, silent beneath you in the night Not a word, not a breathe Never hope or dream without my allowance She’s everything beautiful,Continue reading “WD 109 “Yuki-Onna””
WD 95 “Ghostly Tremors”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Ghostly Tremors After that accident, we made a promise: It is not for the dead to bury the living. But we are a catalyst Just as any ghost story told to a child A warning to the living There are some dreams better off Forgotten AndContinue reading “WD 95 “Ghostly Tremors””
WD 34 “Four four sentence horror stories”
Warning, these stories come from the deep, dark shadow who lives in my subconscious, so beware. They are very very scary. I Once Upon a time, there was a guy who had no fingers. He tried to pick up a comb, but when he tried to look at his hair in the mirror, he realizedContinue reading “WD 34 “Four four sentence horror stories””
