Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Thirty Day Vegan...Day 6
Day 6 into my 21 Day Project. Writing/Editing every day on my co-written mystery. So far I've written three scenes and have edited each of them. I've also thought ahead a bit about what will be happening to bring the skeletal plot to life. I've been reading the first several chapters out loud, looking for glaring issues.
I can't say I'm having "fun" with this. I'm enjoying parts of it. I like putting my thoughts down in coherent word pictures that are supposed to evoke some sense or other. And when something I've written survives multiple edits and still makes me see, hear, smell or taste what I was describing...well, that's pretty cool. Especially since the co-writer is a ruthless editor. She loves to murder darlings. Lives for it, actually. : )
Day 6 Vegan = will usher in my first attempt at Vegan meatloaf. I'm not a meatloaf fan. So this could be interesting. I think I don't like it because I've chomped into things that I've not been able to chew and had to hide in my napkin. Oh, and the ketchup frosting always gives me pause. However, I'm thinking a bean/mushroom/nut/oat meatloaf might be delicious. I'll let you know.

Kelly -
Sorry to be so snarky. I admire the heck out of you for trying this as I KNOW that what we eat directly affects everything about our health. A lot of folks with rheumatoid arthritis would benefit from a change in their diet.
That said...unless the Lord directs me or until I get to poverty stricken to buy meat, dairy and eggs...vegan is NOT in my future. Sounds like a WHOLE lot of trouble and expensive besides.
But it's fun to come each day and follow your adventure. Your life is a fascinating study in a servant's heart. You inspire me in ways you'll never know! I'm proud of you!!
A "bean/mushroom/nut/oat meatloaf might be delicious" -- oh, most certainly! :) Can't wait to see pictures.....
LOL KIm - oh Kelly, if this is your keyboard in the pic....please take alcohol wipes home from work and give it a clean. :) BTW : mine looks as bad as yours and you can give mine a clean also :) - you could always apply for a raise in salary.
Hmmm. Great idea, EER
