PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING APRIL 27, 2019


"It's Deja Vu all over again!"

Yogi Berra.

The quote and posting the same image twice are quite appropriate.


After the aforementioned doctor's appointment (I'm as healthy as a 57 year old man with a heart condition can be), various errands, household chores (WHEN are they ever going to invent the self cleaning house?) and other stuff throughout the week, I unfortunately didn't get as much writing time as I hoped to.
It seemed like life threw everything at me but the kitchen sink, and thankfully that was bolted down to well too be used against me. 😉

Sure, I did get some writing time in, but when you're trying to create stories and build an audience, you want a whole lot more than a few minutes here and a few minutes there.

HOPEFULLY things will go better this week, for there is really nothing pending on my agenda except housework and a few errands towards the end of the week.

Now if only the Red Sox can improve their game...⚾

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

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING APRIL 20, 2019

First and foremost:
HOPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!

Now then, while I'm doing okay on my Sherlock Holmes story, this one doesn't seem to be coming to me as quickly as my previous attempt "The Adventure of the Artful Forger".

Why?
Your guess is as good as mine at the moment, but considering everything I've been through over the last couple of weeks with the funeral and everything...

I do have a doctor's appointment this week, and it still isn't with the one who owns the TARDIS! 😕
Other than my usual errands and household chores (What? Things don't magically take care of themselves unless I do the work) I should have plenty of writing time this week.
If Holmes and Watson aren't going to cooperate as well as they did with me previously, been thinking about splitting my time between them and something else instead of just staring at the computer screen and getting more frustrated with myself than I have been.
Then again, maybe just "talking" about it like I have here will do the trick.
Will just have to wait and see how it goes.

Either way, am definitely taking Easter Sunday off to be with family and friends.

But first, I still have to go over to The Free Choice E-zine in my capacity as Editor-In-Chief and help a certain wabbit post the Easter installment of The Sunday Funnies.

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

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING APRIL 13, 2019

Truthfully?
I didn't get to accomplish much of a dang thing this past week!
The closer I got to the funeral I had to attend, the less time and concentration I had to work on anything I really wanted to do.
But the funeral is over now and life goes on.
Here's hoping this week will be better than last week for all concerned.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING APRIL 6, 2019

It is still in the early stages at the moment, but the writing on my second attempt at a new Sherlock Holmes story is going well, so far.

Okay, I know I should be more optimistic, but while trying to create a good Holmes mystery takes serious time and effort, I also have a funeral to attend on the horizon, so I'm not in the greatest of emotional moods at the moment.

Gonna get done what I can between now and then, so to accomplish anything at all I better get back to it.

See you around the Internet.
