“Looking for what?” It should have been a simple question. But the way he asked it made me stop.... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7Z-l9xJirzE https://kentwayne.com/2026/08/03/looking-for-what/

On my creative process… I have faith in the abundance of creativity; there's always ideas out there, and even if they don't realize in the exact fashion I desired or envisioned, I will benefit from working with them and fleshing them out....

I expected a recruiter. Instead, I met Chris Atriya. There was something different about him. Not his uniform. Not his rank. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hbMr6Laaeek https://kentwayne.com/2026/08/01/i-expected-a-recruiter/

I came looking for answers. Instead, I found someone watching me. Not a recruiter chasing a quota. Not someone trying to sell me a future. Just a stranger standing quietly in a hallway. And somehow... I couldn't stop looking back. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MKxZOeto7uE #booktok #fantasybooks #unboundrealm #kentwayne #fantasyreader #storytelling #bookreels #cinematic #fantasy #characterreveal

A zany and profane ad for my upcoming paperbacks for the Unbound Realm, soon available directly for purchase from King’s Entertainment What the strong-pube is happening, all you neglectful shower-shavers who don’t scrub up them bushies and leave a straggler hanging out on the tip of the shaft, the next time your significant other starts giving you a beej they pick it out but instead of just flicking it away they start flossing their teeth, hitting them back molars and incisors and canines, meanwhile you’re like what the fuck what about the beej WHAT ABOUT THE BEEJ—...

I thought maybe purpose was waiting behind one of those doors. Army. Air Force. Navy. The promises were different, but they all felt strangely familiar. Like I was searching for something I couldn't quite name. And whatever it was... I hadn't found it yet. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/as-nFOlae2k

Musings Arguably, true abundance might be contentment--everything as is, without justification, categorization, or rationalization. Being in the present, in other words, and feeling the default wellbeing that comes with that state. On the other end of the spectrum, plenty of folks have had a glut of resources and time, and lived most of their lives in soul-grating shortage. Don't get me wrong, I love having money and time, but I think in terms of true abundance, they don't quite check all the necessary boxes.

Everyone else seemed to know where they belonged. I wasn't so sure. Sometimes I felt like an alien pretending to be human. And every once in a while... someone would understand exactly what I meant. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XSOd_jVjjtI

On my creative process… I believe we're creative by default, and that our free will lies in where we focus--on whether or not we use creativity to evoke an atmosphere of inevitability, perpetuity, hopelessness, etc. etc. Or we can focus on an influx of energy and possibility, of self-expression and inspiration.

Everyone else seemed to know where they were going. Graduate. Get a job. Build a life. But one question kept following me everywhere. What's it all for? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LTteuvgiDGs

I thought the doorway was the beginning I thought the doorway was the beginning. I thought the impossible world beyond was the mystery.... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RPZWIFufnpI https://kentwayne.com/2026/07/24/i-thought-the-doorway-was-the-beginning/

At first he was just a silhouette. Then he became a man. And the closer he came... the more I felt like he wasn't looking for the portal. He was looking for me. #booktok #fantasybooks #unboundrealm #darkfantasy #kentwayne #bookreels #fantasyreader #storytelling #cinematic #portal

At first it was just a silhouette. A shape in the distance. Then it started walking. And somehow... I knew it was coming for me. #booktok #fantasybooks #darkfantasy #unboundrealm #kentwayne #fantasyreader #storytelling #bookreels #cinematic #portal

On my creative process… This may sound odd, but in regards to writing, I believe five minutes a day can be enough....

For a moment, I thought I was alone. Then I noticed the figure standing beyond the doorway. Watching. Waiting. And somehow... it felt like it knew exactly who I was. #booktok #fantasybooks #darkfantasy #unboundrealm #kentwayne #storytelling #fantasyreader #bookreels #cinematic #fantasy
