PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 27, 2017

REMEMBER THE VETS!

Truthfully, there isn't really all that much writing actually getting done over a holiday weekend, for tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the United States of America.

HOWEVER...
After going over my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader's hard work on the previous chapters of the current HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE adventure, I am well into Chapter 8 right now, but will have to pause and put on my editor's hat soon to review the first story submission received for Jim Beard's 1970s project! 😀

Please stop and remember the veterans past and present who have helped to make the world safe and free, and I'll see you around the Internet!

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 20, 2017

My friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader Nancy Hansen HAS reopened her friendly neighborhood beta-proofreading service after getting through her second eye surgery.
I now have a massive amount of notes to go over concerning the current HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE story I'm working on.

I did get a little more work done on my own 1970s story for Jim Beard while I was waiting to discover Nancy's status, but that tale isn't finished yet either.
Ah, the life of a writer.
In any event, I better get back to "work" now.

Take care, and I'll see you around the Internet!

OKAY...
Finished Chapter 7 to the as yet, still untitled HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE story I'm working on.
Still also don't know if this tale is going to grow into a full length novel like CATCH A RISING STAR did or fall short and require another mystery to complete Volume 3.

While her recovery is doing good, no word yet on when my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader will be reopening her friendly neighborhood beta-proofreading service.
Yet, other than losing Thursday because of medical reasons, the overall week should be wide open for writing.
Which I will resume after breakfast Monday morning, considering what time it is as I post this.

So take care everybody, and I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 6, 2017

Let's see now... this week was next week last week.
No, sorry. That's a classic Looney Tunes skit.
Anyway...

My friendly neighborhood beta/proofreader Nancy Hansen is recovering from surgery on her right eye now. Not sure when she will resume her friendly neighborhood beta/proofreading service, but she is doing well health wise.

This past week, I've worked on HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, my 1970s story, and came up with the beginnings of a potential novel plot that I am seriously considering developing further as time permits.

For sure on my 2017 agenda, I have to finish HUGH and my 1970s story, as well as help edit the project as submissions are turned in.

When those are done, I want to start work on what will eventually become PROJECT ALPHA, BOOK 3; a couple of promised short stories with thankfully no actual deadlines, and maybe even that potential novel idea I mentioned a couple of paragraphs ago.

So other than housework, medical and other life commitments, along with Boston Red Sox baseball games, I'm looking at some busy times ahead.
Or in other words, I better get back to writing now.
See you around the Internet!
