Pre-Pre Halloween

Creator Journals 8/1/25 August begins! That means its pre-pre Halloween season! I can slowly start to lean into autumnal activities! Halloween season usually doesn’t last long enough for me to do all the spooky things I want to, scary movie marathons, scary videogames, cider chugging, etc. So I usually start to soft-launch Halloween in theContinue reading “Pre-Pre Halloween”

Hamburgers and How They Are Made

Red, white, and polluted  Blew up the shoot In reversed motion like Spiders crawling back into  Egg sacs  If you have what it takes If you can maintain the look You too can be weighed and found wanting More and more divine judgement While a man in torn jeans and fingerless gloves parts the redContinue reading “Hamburgers and How They Are Made”

Rapid-Fire Googling

Creator Journals 7/28/25 Chapter 8 is off to a good start. It’s definitely a departure from the tone of the rest of the book, but I love departing from my tone, it creates a good sense of contrast in the world. If I try to make the first section sound more down-to-earth and realistic, theContinue reading “Rapid-Fire Googling”

Priestly Divide 

Keeper of the cross Judge me and find me wanting More, for angels have numerous eyes and  None of them see the way men do.– I extend my hand From the pulpit  Reaching down to you who are Weary and heavy laden  Can you save me from this place?– Beast of the circle Hunt meContinue reading “Priestly Divide “

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”

A Voice of Their Own

Creator Journals 6/30/25 Well, it looks like the waiting room at the dentist’s office is the perfect place to get writing done. I drilled through a quick thousand words today while I was waiting for my wife. The scene I’m writing is going on longer than expected. I planned for a quick info dump withContinue reading “A Voice of Their Own”

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”

Summer’s Grace

Creator Journals 6/20/25 Realized yesterday that my self-imposed deadlines are kind of stressing me out a lot. When I made those deadlines, I didn’t realize my job was going to be a hurricane all summer. I need to give myself more grace. That isn’t my fault. I want to do this for the love ofContinue reading “Summer’s Grace”

Creator Journals 6/12/25

I wrote a paragraph I really liked today, and I wish I could have kept the streak going, but work, work, work. After work I’m usually too tired to write much. I’m hoping my job calms down soon.  I’ve been thinking about villains lately. What makes them interesting?  For me, I like when they haveContinue reading “Creator Journals 6/12/25”
