Creator Journals 5/13/25

Last night I spent the whole sleep cycle dreaming that the infamous Jason Voorhees was trying to kill me. That was pretty weird. I’m not really afraid of that dude like at all. I love the Friday the 13th movies because they’re cheesy fun. For whatever reason, he was far more threatening in my dream,Continue reading “Creator Journals 5/13/25”

Yesterday I went birdwatching. This is not something I regularly do. It’s something I pretty much never do. I was invited to join others who were doing it.  All the same, I started to notice how much can be gained from spending time in slow observation. I’ve been creating fictionalized facsimiles of nature by writingContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/12/25”

Creator Journals 5/6/25

I feel a headache creeping up on me like the sun creeping up over the horizon. If I keep busy enough and refuse to look directly at the sun, maybe it will go away. My motivation isn’t as high as it could be today. I want to be making vast strides. I want to feelContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/6/25”

Creator Journals 5/3/25

I’m once again facing the intense desire of the void, the call to stop writing and never write again. I know I must resist this call. If I’m ever going to get anywhere meaningful, or, get where I want to go, I’m going to have to write, keep writing, and not stop writing. Sometimes IContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/3/25”

Creator Journals 5/2/25

In tarot, the sun card represents good fortune, energy, and unification. I’ve had a lot more energy to be proactive with my writing lately. Over the last two years I was dealing with some things that kept me physically drained. I have the power to market a little bit now, but I’m trying not toContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/2/25”

Creator Journals 5/1/25

I took matters into my own hands and decided to make my own cover using Canva. It was really important to me that my book cover match a certain vibe that I had in my head, and that it have the right set of colors. I’ve been told I’m a synesthesiac before. This book isContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/1/25”

I’m descending into a hurricane of tasks, all of my own making.Scrambling to get my new book processed. That means I need to do final edits, put together a blurb, find good keywords (a shamanistic practice I still haven’t even come close to mastering) and somehow get a cover. Covers drive me crazy. Despite everything,Continue reading “Creator Journals 4/30/25”

Creator Journals 4/29/25

I promised myself I’d finish editing my book “Hounds of Ruin” by the end of May and release it May 9th. This one has been in the oven for quite a while. I have a distinct memory of writing out the outline during downtime at my job in October of 2023. That might not seemContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/29/25”

Creator Journals 4/26/25

Last night, my wife showed me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming wrote that (Truly Scrumptious is a Bond girl). It was a hell of a movie. Early on, Dick Van Dyke, a crazed inventor, is trying to make money so he can buy his children a broken car. So he goes around town tryingContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/26/25”
