Creator Journals 8/7/25 No character bio today. I think I want to reveal the 4th member of the Sea Larks in the story proper. Any good band of troubadours needs a vocalist, and the Sea Larks are no exception. I just finished drafting chapter 8 and it’s very different from the rest of the book.Continue reading “Thursday BK Update”

Character Bio: Aina
Creator Journals 8/3/25 I said yesterday that I would be running through some character bios for Beach Knight characters this week, so I guess I’ll start that. I may not say much about the most central characters, since I think I want their stories to unfold with the narrative. I’ll start by introducing a bandContinue reading “Character Bio: Aina”
The Power of the Clock
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”
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”
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”
Assorted Sunday Night Rambles
Creator Journals 7/27/25 No writing on Sunday. Just blogging. Last night I watched “Death of a Unicorn” . It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Paul Rudd play an unlikable character. A unicorn horror movie is a great idea. I wish I had come up with it.Later today, I’m seeing The Fantastic Four. I hopeContinue reading “Assorted Sunday Night Rambles”
Opportunities To Eat Strange Animals
Creator Journals 7/26/25 Today I ate a gator on a stick. I saw a cow made of butter. I went to the state fair. So . . . I didn’t really do any writing. I definitely sat and thought about writing while I was on the drive up. I’m still trying to put together myContinue reading “Opportunities To Eat Strange Animals”
Four Previews
Creator Journals 7/25/25 Chapter 7 of Beach Knight is complete in its roughest form possible. 10K words of me just trying to get from plot-point to plot point. In celebration of that fact, I thought I might just share some totally random text snippets with zero context and glue them to the chalk-board of myContinue reading “Four Previews”
RANT: I HATE Writing
Creator Journals 7/22/25 I’ve got a headache today, and I’m not really in the best mood, so I’m going to rant. This is going to be kind of a moody, negative rant, so be warned. I hate writing. That’s the short version of it. I hate how much the process itself has to take upContinue reading “RANT: I HATE Writing”
