Well, this is me, minues the glasses, adding the contact lenses. It took me a good while to get them in at the eye doctor, but at least I got them on. I have a schedule for them for a week so I can get used to them, but they're a lot different than glasses, that's for sure. Still, I'm satisfied with them, and they lightened my eye color, so I guess that's cool.

On a side note, I am now going into counseling for my self-esteem issues. Outside of my writing, I'm not all that upbeat about myself. Ah well, I guess that's from years of being bullied and put down by people, but no worries. My mother talked with a counselor, and I'm going to be in a counseling group tomorrow, so yeah. Anyway, that's what happened today; I came home early because I wasn't all up for school, and I couldn't concentrate at all. I had to rewrite the letter C--and just the letter--ten times to make it actually look write on a paper. At least I got through my favorite class, English.

So, now we go to writing. I finally got my lazy ass to researching Lovecraft and his creatures. I had intended to write something for Cross-Genre Cthulhu which Permuted Press is putting out, and now I finally got something going around . . . If I can get my Critter's Credits caught up (which I think I will for this story) I'll submit it right now. I won't spoil the story, but I know that the people from Permuted Press will like it, that's for sure. The only other thing I will spoil is the name of the story, which I dubbed The Melody of Death.

Aside from that, I'm almost done editing Containted the sequel to Black Darling. I won't be releasing it too soon, because I want to get some simple blurbs from readers and other people for the back of it, but I'm almost done, nonetheless.

Thanks for reading!

I haven't been around much, what with me trying to broadcast my cryptozoology magazine (which people are looking into over at www.cryptozoology.com), but still, it's stressful, marketing. I'm sure I can get somebody to put something into it, though.

Now, I've also decided that I'm going to write a nonfiction book about the Chupacabras. It's a subject that's really being talked about right now, and if I put a book out while the craze is going on, I can make some money off of it, I know I can. I mean . . . People are saying that the Chupacabras is so many different things, and now that they think they've found one of them dead in Clarksville, Arkansa . . . It could really be a big turning point in the roll of science.

As of another side note, I am deadly close to finishing Containment, the sequel to my zombie novel, Black Darling. As of another note of Black Darling, people; my aunt is almost done reading it, then I'll read through it, fix things, and then send it off to Permuted Press!

Sorry, not a good update, but still, it's better than nothing. If any of you want to know more about anything that's posted above, please, feel free to ask.
