The Purpose of This Blog?

Creator Journals 7/21/25 The main purpose of this blog is for it to function as a personal journal of sorts. I wanted to get used to the idea of posting something daily, and since I try to write fiction daily, I thought that talking about my process might be the best approach. I do worryContinue reading “The Purpose of This Blog?”

What Builds Your World?

Creator Journals 7/20/25 My players only made it through about half of what I had prepared last night. It was fun! But I think there are a few areas I could improve in. I wrote them down for next time.  It’s the last day of my work weekend, and I’m pretty spent. I basically alwaysContinue reading “What Builds Your World?”

All Writers Should Play Games

Creator Journals 7/18/25 The creative portion of this day has been spent with D&D prep. I haven’t written any fiction, but I have my game Saturday and I want to sand down all the rough edges. I feel good about my worldbuilding and my characters. Running D&D is interesting for me, because it’s like writingContinue reading “All Writers Should Play Games”

Hunger Within Reason

Voracity  Carnal in incarnation  Can you lack any visible signs of entry? – Keep the noise locked away? When I saw you last night, you were Not the same Your eyes were like long streams  Washing through cracks and crags – At the ebb and flow Beck and call Cradle the motive And we all rise  AndContinue reading “Hunger Within Reason”

Economic Report

Creator Journals 7/15/25 Another good writing day. I expanded what I originally imagined to be a small scene into a full thousand word segment, and it really worked both comedically and for the characters. At the current rate, Beach Knight is probably going to come out somewhere between 100k and 120k words, like a realContinue reading “Economic Report”

The Baddest

Creator Journals 7/14/25 I have some real momentum lately.  I just went on a creative thinking walk to try and shore up my villain’s main motivation. The villain in Beach Knight is a particularly sinister one. On some level, I want them to be so villainous that the reader won’t want to relate to them.Continue reading “The Baddest”

Drill It Into My DNA

Creator Journals 7/10/25 It was a busy day today, and I still managed to get out 1500 words and finish chapter 6. I’ve been busy and stressed, but I think I’m getting stronger. I think I’m gaining a better immunity to distractions. I’ve also started going on daily walks and drinking more water, so it’sContinue reading “Drill It Into My DNA”

The Bad News and The Good News

Creator Journals 7/8/25 Can you believe it’s already the 8th of July? It was the 7th just yesterday! Man! For mysterious reasons, the headaches are back today, so that’s limiting what I can write by a lot. I’m finding difficulty just writing this blog post, in fact. I think I need to reconfigure my publishingContinue reading “The Bad News and The Good News”

My Next Big, Boring Project

Creator Journals 7/7/25 I didn’t write any Beach Knight today. Instead, I prepped and wrote lore for a D&D game I’m about to run. I use the same world for my D&D games and my books, so it helps out regardless.  It struck me today just how many people groups I’m inventing. How many nationsContinue reading “My Next Big, Boring Project”
