PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 27, 2018

I am certainly glad that this past week is over and done with.😣
The eye exam went well. Mine are as healthy as a 56 year old man's can be. 😎
Still need the reading glasses, but at least the prescription hasn't changed.
Eye health is as important as anything else concerning your well being, and I do the best I can to stay well, living a post congestive heart failure and aortic aneurysm life.
But because of the eye exam and some other stuff, I didn't get much writing done this past week. 😢

Hopefully things will be back to what passes for "normal" soon.

Still on HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, BOOK 3: FEMME FATALE, so I better get back to writing now.

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

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 20, 2018

WELL...
I did write when I could, and work is going great on HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, BOOK 3: FEMME FATALE.
Still feel that I'm within a chapter or two of completing the manuscript!

BUT...
I didn't get as much writing time as I would of loved to have this past week because other things kept coming up.
Not really sure how this coming week is going to go either, especially since I have an eye doctor's appointment and I will be getting dilated during it, so that day I'm not really counting on.

OTHERWISE...
I'll just keep doing the best I can with what I've got, so I better get back to writing now.

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

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 13, 2018

Hugh Monn, Private Detective
Current writing project is still HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, BOOK 3: FEMME FATALE.
Am on Chapter 24 (of a possible 25 or 26) and have just broken 60,000 words.
Should (and note the stress on that first word) have the manuscript finished by the end of the month.
Then it goes to my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader for review, while I tackle a few short story projects until I receive the results of her review.

Until then, going back to writing now.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6, 2018

Other than the fact that I'm still on HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE, BOOK 3: FEMME FATALE, there really isn't much to report.

I did go back and re-read everything I had so far before picking up where I left off.
Have a list of plot points and unanswered questions that I need to address before I type those last words "The End".

24 chapters and almost 59,000 words at the moment. For those who keep track of such statistics, the longest individual chapter is 7 pages, but you also have to remember that the manuscript format is different from the final print/e-book version, because Pro Se prefers authors to skip a line between paragraphs.

When HUGH is done and being reviewed by my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader, I will be working on a couple of short stories until FEMME FATALE is completely finished and I turn my attention to whatever becomes PROJECT ALPHA BOOK 3.

With that in mind, I better get back to writing now.
Take care, and I'll see you around the Internet.
