Yesterday involved a lot of rewriting ways to describe a werewolf being stabbed, shot or bleeding out. 😅

Well, I got over 8k words and 20 pages down, so not close to my goal. Now I have a better idea how quickly I can knock out the second draft. I'm altering a lot more about the story than I thought, but it's just getting better with every session.

Well, it looks like Dreadful is getting a few more curse words bc I originally wrote it for a multi author anthology that didnt allow that. Now Trevor gets to drop eff bombs. 😅

When I say I've improved as a writer in the last several years, I wasn't kidding. Comparing the final version of the original short story 'Wolves in the Ice' vs Second draft of new Dreadful novel that folds that story into it's first chapter.

I'm off work tomorrow. I'm hoping to knock at least 20k words out of the second draft of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods. I really think this book has a solid chance of being picked up by a publisher.

I struggle less with writer's block and more with time block. My ideas are backlogged for years at this point.
Day 7 and this fact reflects the reality of writing for many of us. Sure, some writers finish a whole novel in a month but that's not always the case. If you're a writer, have you struggled with writer's block? What got you out of it?

Not really monitored at all. Read It at 14 and probably shouldn't have been.😅

Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods surpassed 100k words in my first second draft session. Woot!

I am going through the first chapter of Dreadful: Of Wolf and Gods; which was originally a short story and wow, I might have improved as a writer since I wrote it, because I'm getting rid of so many passive verbs and punching up the language in interesting ways.

I'll update my website next chance I get, but right now I have one event locked in for 2026. Frankfortcon on January 24, 2026.

I'll try to find a location for Free Comic Book Day, but the last couple of years went belly up for one reason or the other.

Here's the text less version of the cover for Issue 2 of The BulletProof Ghost #comicbook. I'll be running an #indiegogo for preorders in the coming weeks. Super excited.

Well, I didn't get any writing done bc my mother in law's gallbladder exploded while recovering from a knee replacement. Totally unrelated to each other. She's doing well, but will need surgery.

I'm going to attempt to get up early tomorrow and start on that second draft. I have a few notes on wording I need to change.

The second draft for me is mostly ridding the story of passive verbs and giving the sentences more flair.

Occasionally I fix plot elements.

His tears fell upwards as his body dropped into the river. The last Trevor saw of his sister; a clawed hand closed around her throat and a splash of blood ended her life. Out of three siblings only he remained alive.

A werewolf killer was born on that day.

I didn't get to that second draft like I wanted to, but I did watch #GoodBoy. I've been thinking about the ending all day and the last words the dog's owner says to him. 😢
