The past two months have been rough:
- Burnout from going a little too hard on projects outside of work.
- Medical issues from too much stress.
- Emotional exhaustion from damn near everything else.
Soon (hopefully very soon,) I should have some good news to share about a mini novella I wrote appearing in an anthology. I can’t say much more right now, but if there’s any sort of silver lining here, I’ll take it.
In the meanwhile, I’ve decided to take Chewing Vacuum and break it up into shorter, easier to digest novellas. This keeps the story simple and compact (and allows the first one to be free, which I always kind of intended) while allowing me to continue working on the others as they come along. Starting tomorrow I’ll have them updated and available as a free .epub or .pdf–featuring a chapter or two that I never quite got around to posting…
In short, I’m not done with this story by any means, and I have A Plan for this universe I’m creating, so please continue to Watch This Space!
In the meanwhile, I’m looking at NaNoWriMo and thinking it’s a good opportunity to do something new and different as I get back atop my horse. I have an idea, and it’s a doozy, but I’ll leave you with a hint: Tinfoil.
Hang in there, everybody.
