2/9/26 I spent the morning checking things off my quest list. I’m also working on putting some final touches on my Web of Bones 2nd Edition. There are some totally new sections, and I want to get them perfect. I’ve been talking to artists, looking into commissioning new cover art, and a few other illustrations.

Snowstorm Status Update
Creator Journals 1/26/25 I’m well and alive and I’m not at work. More importantly, here’s what’s happening with my writing. The main plan for the rest of this month is to get Web of Bones 2nd edition done. I’m pretty close to being finished, but I do want to come up with a new coverContinue reading “Snowstorm Status Update”
Try Brain?
Creator Journals 10/9/25 I was off work today, which means I got 8 hours of sleep instead of my usual 5! I wanted to spend the day finishing my very first revision of Beach Knight, but I got tired out and only managed to do like 10 pages. I’m supposed to be dedicating this monthContinue reading “Try Brain?”
Vulture’s Eyes
Creator Journals 10/2/25 I spent a chunk of time making a Spotify playlist for my new story, but it’s not done yet. Writing felt very challenging today. I think I’m still sick. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I got my 2k words in, but I think they were really rough this timeContinue reading “Vulture’s Eyes”
How Far We’ve Come
Creator Journals 9/6/25 Well, I thought I’d just sit down and fix chapter 2 in one go, but it turns out it’s only 3k words long (as opposed to the later chapters, which are all at least 10k) and really kind of a mess. I think this one may take a bit to reach theContinue reading “How Far We’ve Come”
Starting From the Beginning
Creator Journals 9/5/25 It’s a slow day for creation. I’m mostly resting, but I did revise a section of chapter 2. The early chapters are much, much shorter than the later ones, so I want to add some meat. In some cases, it’s not really even a matter of padding or adding content, it’s theContinue reading “Starting From the Beginning “
Beta Readers
Creator Journals 9/4/25 I finished my revisions on Beach Knight chapter 1 and started sending it out to beta-readers. I’m excited to hear the feedback. Hopefully, I can get the other 10 reader-ready in quick succession. I want to be able to get back to the place where I left off in The Kingdom’s Disdain,Continue reading “Beta Readers”
Words Fixed
Creator Journals 9/2/25 Had to travel back home at 4am this morning. 2 hour drive. After that, I had to do some training for work. When I got home, I slept for three hours. Any optimistic projection about how many words I might write or revise today was delusion. But I’m writing a blog post.Continue reading “Words Fixed”
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”
Uneven Chapters
Creator Journals 7/29/25 I woke up really excited to write today, and indeed, I’m proud to report I’m 2k words into chapter eight, which is shaping up to be just as long as the previous two! I’ve run into just one main snag. The later chapters in my book are becoming significantly longer than theContinue reading “Uneven Chapters”
