Creator Journals 9/30/25 Right after waking up this morning, I went and got some pumpkin spice at Dunkin Donuts. I didn’t want to spend the day being a shut-in again. This is it, the end of September. October starts tomorrow and I’ll be driving straight on into my Halloween project. Today I managed to finishContinue reading “New Week”

Tired and Ambitious
Creator Journals 9/29/25 I haven’t been out of the house yet today. I think I’m sick. I slept till 11:30AM. I wanted to get chapter 3 of Beach Knight out to my beta-readers before I go full-force into The Cause of Death month, but I sort of ran out of time and energy. I’ll tryContinue reading “Tired and Ambitious “
Ominous Art
Creator Journals 9/28/25 It’s the weekend and I’m at work, but I got the chance to watch a good zombie movie before things started. It was a good morning. I’m not really supposed to be doing anything writing related today, but I started brainstorming cover ideas. There are a lot of things I wish IContinue reading “Ominous Art”
Making Things Up
Creator Journals 9/26/25 Full steam ahead! Chapter four complete! I should be done my rough draft during the first week of October if not sooner. That should give me plenty of time to get a cover and revise. I may even have time to revise a few more chapters of Beach Knight before November! 2kContinue reading “Making Things Up”
Fingers Tired
Creator Journals 9/26/25 I’ve completed three chapters of “The Cause of Death” Six more to go! It will probably need a substantial amount of revision, but I’ve got time. I’m still trying to figure out my character’s voice. Also, I was writing in a pretty comedic tone when I wrote “Beach Knight” while I wantContinue reading “Fingers Tired”
The Cause
Creator Journals 9/24/25 My wife’s cat passed yesterday. We ended up having to put him down very early in the morning. She’s had that cat for about 18 years. I’ve known him for over ten. It hit us really hard. I wrote out a heartfelt mini-essay about the complexity of grief, and then I deletedContinue reading “The Cause”
Midnight Blog
Creator Journals 9/23/25 I had a personal tragedy today. I didn’t write, and I’m typing up this blog post at 11PM, just barely crossing the finish line. I don’t really want to talk about it right now. I may talk about it tomorrow, depending on my mood. Either way, tomorrow I’ll begin writing “The CauseContinue reading “Midnight Blog”
Early Autumn Dimness
Creator Journals 9/22/25 Happy Monday everybody. It was a gloriously rainy day. I turned the lights off and worked in the early autumn dimness. A good day. Yeah. I’m gonna throw everything aside and work on my spooky Halloween necromancer story. Well, I’ll at least try to get a few more chapters of Beach KnightContinue reading “Early Autumn Dimness “
Sunday and No Pizza
Creator Journals 9/21/25 Happy Sunday! The sky is gray, and I am pleased. Sunday. I don’t write. I only blog. I want to eat a pizza, but the friends I’m visiting with do not desire pizza. All is lost. I’m like a tattered sail drifting on the surface of the sea. We are now playingContinue reading “Sunday and No Pizza”
The Struggles of Trog
Creator Journals 9/20/25 September is nearing its end. Soon it will truly be October. October 2025. Wow. I got insanely exhausted yesterday. That aside, I would like to get to the point where I can easily grind out 2k words a day before I start “The Cause of Death” so I’m trying to fill inContinue reading “The Struggles of Trog”
