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”
Head Full of Projects
Creator Journals 7/2/25 I’m hot off a writing streak. Just pounded out a thousand words for chapter 6. I’m introducing a lot of my side characters in this chapter. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to cram so many introductions into one chapter, but also, I think it could be a neat challenge. Continue reading “Head Full of Projects”
Passing Mist
Creator Journals 7/1/25 July has begun. Summer is upon us. It really feels like Spring just ended, but oh well. Today I was supposed to do a lot of outlining.

A Voice of Their Own

What Is a Bad Guy?

Do Something Besides Writing
Creator Journals 6/26/25 Do something besides writing. Find a passion that doesn’t hinge on narrative or fiction. GO have fun. I’m stuck here in this computer revising.

Is This Real Life?
Creator Journals 6/25/25 600 words in at 10:10am. I’m fighting the good fight, surrounded as I am by gardening sounds and power tool sounds and a lot of talking. I have some confidence in what I’m doing today. The story is coming out a lot better now that I’m not as focused on getting itContinue reading “Is This Real Life?”
I’m The Opposite
Creator Journals 6/24/25 I completed a lot of writing tasks today. I wrote 500 decent words. I outlined, and I revised some of chapter 5. How did I do this? Idk, just by being chill. Sometimes it helps to ramp myself up and make a whole ordeal out of writing. Other times, I just needContinue reading “I’m The Opposite”
It Was Just That Easy
Creator Journals 6/23/25 Today I drove my wife to the dentist and while I was sitting in the waiting room, I cranked out 1000 words on my phone. I did it within a span of 15-20 minutes. It was just that easy. Is the lesson here that I need to go to weird locations andContinue reading “It Was Just That Easy”
