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”

A Quiet Anger
Creator Journals 7/6/25 There’s a lot of societal injustice in the world right now. It’s all over the news and all over my social feeds. It’s hard to stay above the water, stay positive and keep it from stressing me out. Stress causes me a number of physical symptoms, so I’m trying my best toContinue reading “A Quiet Anger”
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. 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. Saw a movie, M3GAN 2.0, and it was really good. I love horror and slasher movies, and I love when a villain getsContinue reading “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. 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”
