Creator Journals 7/31/25 It’s 3:20 PM and I’m not at the height of my powers, but I still have enough strength to do what needs to be done. July is ending, and, instead of finishing, Beach Knight is becoming longer. Today I wrote 500 more words. I also began outlining the second book. I hopeContinue reading “The Power of the Clock”

Considering Thefwin Peachwillow
Creator Journals 7/12/25 What can I say about Thefwin Peachwillow that wouldn’t spoil the story. Well, first off, she’s not a major character. She’s a character I made specifically to fit a role in a chapter that required a large and diverse cast. She’s an elf, but she’s an elf that leans into her racialContinue reading “Considering Thefwin Peachwillow”
Unfair Fairy Story
There are a lot of feelings and ideas that are hard to express in typical prose. I’m going to be doing a little bit of experimenting here. This used to be my poetry blog before I started posting Creator Journals, so I was thinking of reintroducing some of that. I think on Wednesdays, I’ll postContinue reading “Unfair Fairy Story”
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”
Creator Journals 6/2/25
I worked on a side story today. There’s a background narrative in Beach Knight that takes place through a series of flashbacks at the start of each chapter. Early on, I didn’t really know what it was going to be, but I’ve got it figured out now, and I’m writing it like a serial inContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/2/25”
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 5/25/25
There aren’t many thoughts in my head today. I’m thinking about a new story (which I won’t start writing yet! I swear! I already have way too many projects!) Since I’ve been able to keep a daily blog going, I thought it might be fun to create a daily web serial. I have this characterContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/25/25”
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”
Creator Journals 5/16/25
I don’t feel like I’m writing fast enough. The Beach Knight outline has ten chapters and I’m still working on chapter three. Not really sure how I’m going to have it done by the start of July and still have it meet all of my quality goals. Headaches are getting worse lately. Yesterday I spentContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/16/25”
Creator Journals 5/15/25
Don’t think I’m done with the nonbinary orc. I’m not. Since it’s a plot point that Port Starfish is mostly human, with a smattering of dwarves, elves and halflings here and there, an orc kind of stands out. Most of our protagonists are nonhuman creatures that face some amount of social alienation due to thatContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/15/25”
