(Scant) Writing News.

No, that wasn't a joke this time. Very scant news indeed.

Pounding away at HEAVY LIES THE CROWN, the sequel to SPEAK OF THE DEVIL (which I've yet to find representation for, sigh). The manuscript is currently sitting pretty at 45,000 words, so it's getting there. I think it'll round out at about 75,000, then I'll be focusing on editing the last bit of my novella, SECRETS TO THE GRAVE.

I do believe I'll be publishing a Kindle Single here soon. It'll be my short story, THE FREAKSHOW, which I've sold twice. So that must mean it's at least decent, right?

That's all. Really. Been a slow month. Until next time, pals.

On Being Vegan.

All right, so I'm coming up on my three month anniversary of being a vegan. I haven't really talked about it publicly, nor do I really have a reason to. I doubt any of you care what I eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's a great lifestyle change, though, and on top of all the weight I've lost (about 35 pounds in less than three months), I just feel like a new person.

The strange part for me, though, is the stigma surrounding veganism. Hardly anyone knows about me doing it, personally, and I still take a lot of flack for it. The thing is, though, that people are just now judging what I choose to eat instead of doing so when I got so heavy as 280 pounds (and in high school, at that). Eating things that are good for you and living an ultimately healthy lifestyle is apparently the strangest, most blasphemous thing in the world when you could be shoving your face full of a bleeding, greasy meat patty.

That's all. Not really writing related, but hey, nothing wrong with changing it up a bit.
