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”

Creator Journals 6/13/25

It’s Friday the 13th, so I would like to say happy birthday to Jason Voorhees! Forever in our hearts. Gone but not forgotten (Until he comes back again). On the subject of villains, one of my favorite types is probably the “Anti-Villain”. There are probably a lot of different ways that a lot of differentContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/13/25”

Creator Journals 6/9/25

I’m temporarily changing my system. I got a little bit stuck in Chapter 5, so I decided I needed to focus a bit more on pre-planning. From now on, for every day I spend writing, I’m going to spend another day vigorously outlining in detail. So far that’s going well. I have an outline forContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/9/25”

Creator Journals 6/5/25

I’ve been getting small but important creative work done. I’m building characters, backgrounds, settings and themes . . . but yeah . . . chapter 5 is still mostly not done. A July release date definitely seems unlikely.  It’s a gray, rainy day out today, a nice spring/fall window in the summer. I’m thankful forContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/5/25”

Creator Journals 6/1/25

Happy June and happy Pride Month! If you’re gay, be gay! If you aren’t, enjoy the weather!I’m still a little bit repulsed by the idea of writing anything else, but I will say a lot of ideas are swirling around in my headspace. Some of my concepts are becoming more solid and meaningful, like I’mContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/1/25”

Creator Journals 5/30/25

Today I don’t even feel like thinking about writing. I still did it, but after this blog post I’m not going to think about it at all. I wish I could stop writing for like a whole week, but I think I’d lose too much momentum. I think I’ll at least take a short breakContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/30/25”

Creator Journals 5/29/25

Trigger Warning: Discussion of transgender identities and discrimination. Research. Research. Research. Even writing something as silly and intentionally anachronistic as Beach Knight, my intellect and conscience require me to do research. Early on I had to research the origins of different swimsuits and beaches as vacation spots. Now I’m digging into different gender identities andContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/29/25”

Creator Journals 5/28/25

There is a man hammering something in the room next to me. It is literally impossible to write. Loud noise completely disables me. I’ve tried forcing myself to write with music on in order to become stronger, but it can still be very difficult. My attention flickers like a flame. It can be hard toContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/28/25”

Creator Journals 5/27/25

I think I’m getting somewhere. When I write a novel, it usually starts to come together at about the midpoint. When I start writing, I just go with my gut and write what feels fun and engaging, once I get to the middle I start to figure out the themes, ideas, ending and emotional core.Continue reading “Creator Journals 5/27/25”
