Some words are too heavy to hold alone. Some stories deserve to be heard.

This is where they belong.

Your story matters, I’m here to help you tell it!

 

 “For years, I believed I had to pick a path, to be one kind of creator. To write one kind of thing. To fit neatly into a box that made sense.

 
 

But the truth is, I’ve never been just one thing. I’ve spent my life telling stories, asking better questions, and exploring every creative medium I can get my hands on.

That’s why this space exists.”

—Abagail Pumphrey, Founder

 
 

What is Creator Diary?

Creator Diary is a space for unfiltered storytelling. A place where thoughts, confessions, and untold truths can be written—without judgment, without expectation, without the need to make them perfect.

Some stories will stand on their own, raw and untouched. Others will be met with a response—guidance, encouragement, or simply the knowledge that someone, somewhere, is listening.

This is a home for the words you’ve been holding onto.

A place for stories: yours, mine, ours.

Why This Exists

For years, the internet has been a place of performance. Polished, curated, optimized. But what about the words we don’t say? The ones that don’t fit into an algorithm or a marketing funnel?

I built Creator Diary for the moments that don’t need a strategy. The ones that are messy, honest, and deeply human.

I’ve spent a lifetime chasing the right words.

Always searching, always scribbling them down, always wondering if they were enough.

Boss Project

Creator Diary is a storytelling project by Boss Project — an online business education company I created to give people permission to dream bigger and the strategies to follow through.

At Boss Project, we focus on the practical side: the tools, training, and templates that help people turn their ideas into income.

But this space? It was born from everything between the milestones. The quiet moments. The questions. The parts we don’t usually say out loud.

If you're looking for resources to grow your business, you’ll find them over there. If you’re here for reflection, release, or reconnection, this is your space.

a note from Abagail

Dear Reader,

I don’t know what brought you here. Maybe you were looking for something—a space to write, a place to be understood, a quiet corner of the internet that doesn’t demand perfection. Or maybe you just stumbled in, curious about what this is.

Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

I’ve spent years helping creators turn their ideas into something tangible. A product. A business. A way to make money doing what they love. But not everything we create is meant to be packaged up and sold. Not every thought needs to be optimized.

Some things just need a place to exist.

The words we scribble on napkins. The ones we type into our notes app in the middle of the night. The things we never say out loud.

That’s why I built Creator Diary.

A space to write without expectation.
To share without explanation.
To let go of what’s been sitting in your chest for far too long.

Maybe you have something to say. Maybe you just want to listen. Maybe, like so many of us, you’re just looking for a place to feel a little less alone.

Whatever brought you here, I hope you find what you need.

Write if you need to. Read if you want to. Stay as long as you like.

Welcome to Creator Diary.
