Creator Journals 9/5/25 It’s a slow day for creation. I’m mostly resting, but I did revise a section of chapter 2. The early chapters are much, much shorter than the later ones, so I want to add some meat. In some cases, it’s not really even a matter of padding or adding content, it’s theContinue reading “Starting From the Beginning “

Words Fixed
Creator Journals 9/2/25 Had to travel back home at 4am this morning. 2 hour drive. After that, I had to do some training for work. When I got home, I slept for three hours. Any optimistic projection about how many words I might write or revise today was delusion. But I’m writing a blog post.Continue reading “Words Fixed”
This Post Is A Placeholder
This might be cheating, but I do not want to lose my posting streak. I was at a theme park all day without my laptop and literally just got home. Today’s writing tip: Write before midnight.
Sunday Funday
Creator Journals 8/31/25 No writing today. As much as I’d love to dive head first into revisions, it is Sunday, and I am only allowed to blog, not really write. Tomorrow I’ll be at an amusement park, and between you and me, dear reader, I hate and fear rollercoasters, so I might get some writingContinue reading “Sunday Funday”
Ralgar, The Beach Knight, Will Change the World; But How?
Creator Journals 8/29/25 Chapter 11, the final chapter, should be done tomorrow, then I just have the epilogue and a bunch of revision to do. I got emotional writing the climax. I got emotional thinking about how far this project has come, about Ralgar’s growth and how much more he’s going to grow in theContinue reading “Ralgar, The Beach Knight, Will Change the World; But How?”
How We Handle Writer’s Block
Creator Journals 8/28/25 I had to get up and clean early this morning. Afterwards, I did not feel like writing at all. I just felt like laying on the couch with my eyes closed. So, after a long youtube video-essay, I ended up reheating some old coffee at 1PM and taking a glance at myContinue reading “How We Handle Writer’s Block”
Not Enough
Creator Journals 8/26/25 Today I wanted to write 2k words again, but I got really exhausted after just 1,600. I also didn’t get to do any revision. My drive and perfectionism kind of beat me up. I felt like I was failing, which was absurd, of course. Just a few months ago I wasn’t evenContinue reading “Not Enough”
Final Battles
Creator Journals 8/25/25 I’m 2k words into chapter 11, the final chapter. My outline is very long. I usually use letters to mark the board-strokes points on my chapter outlines, and I’m out to double H. There is a whole big series of dramatic fight scenes before the dramatic climax. In highschool, I wrote aContinue reading “Final Battles”
Sunday Lounging
Creator Journals 8/24/25 I shouldn’t have to blog on Sunday. I shouldn’t have to move or breathe on Sunday. I can’t believe I have to voluntarily abide by the laws I’ve invented for myself. What fiendish oppression. I went for a long walk with my wife. I talked about religion with some friends. My wifeContinue reading “Sunday Lounging”
The Cusp of the End
Creator Journals 8/23/25 I got to sleep until 8AM today. It was amazing! And my wife was home! What a beautiful weekend! I spent a lot of it cleaning and a lot more of it writing! Chapter 10 is done, and, starting next week, I can finally begin writing the last chapter. I feel likeContinue reading “The Cusp of the End”
