I have a few days off this weekend and I’m determined to finish typing chapter 5! As I type this now, I’m a little over halfway through what I estimate to be a 6k word chapter. I pray this momentum can continue, because I really want to get this book out in the summer, evenContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/14/25”

Creator Journals 6/10/25
I was all psyched to write today, then I realized I had a doctor’s appointment in the morning and a work meeting in the afternoon. Now my time is mostly up. My apartment is also kind of a mess, and I probably need to clean it up. Such is life. I’m trying to find aContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/10/25”

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”

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”

The fog is clearing and I’m excited about my story again. My only real issue is that I’m at work, and work is busy. I love my job, but my soul is being depleted. I pray there are enough particles of Me left to write a few hundred words at Starbucks after I leave. FindingContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/4/25”

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”

Happy Memorial Day! Summer has unofficially started, so my wife and I watched Mamoru Hosoda’s 2009 masterpiece, Summer Wars. I had never seen it before and it was really good! I want to watch as many “Summer” themed movies as possible, since I’m trying to inject my new project with those vibes. The nature ofContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/26/25”
Creator Journals 5/10/25
I’m a little behind on my new project, but I’m still in love with it, so I think the quest continues. I just keep seeing the book in my head, hard copy, and I want to make it real. I want to manifest the reality I see in my mind, alchemically turn thought in theContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/10/25”
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”

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”
