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. Admittedly, I only did a little bit of outlining. Better than nothing, I guess. For whatever reason, my mind and body really didn’t want toContinue reading “Passing Mist”
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”
What Is a Bad Guy?
Creator Journals 6/28/25 I didn’t really write today, I’m visiting a friend out of town, but I did finish chapter 5, and I’m excited to get into the meat of chapter 6.

I’m dragging my feet a bit revising some of my latest chapters. I’m trying to bring them from draft 0 (misspellings, sections skipped over, characters talking the sameContinue reading “Do Something Besides Writing”
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”
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”
