PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 24, 2021

Afraid this one is going to be even shorter than last week's.

I'm still working on my SCI-FI NOVEL while My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader continues reviewing SOLITAIRE between her other projects.

When I get the manuscript back, will make my final pass and go from there.

Until then,

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 17, 2021

SHORT BUT SWEET THIS TIME.

I'm done with SOLITAIRE, at least until I get the manuscript back from My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader.

Have returned to working on the SCI-FI PROJECT until then, although I do know I have more impending work on the horizon for Mark Halegua's Team Blue Memorial Project.

Exactly when that will happen remains to be seen, but in any event I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 10, 2021

Despite all the rain and bad weather, including one night without any electricity😒, I DID get some writing done this past week! 😀

As part of the overall correcting and editing on SOLITAIRE, I had to completely rewrite Chapter 15 because in hindsight the scenario, let alone the timing of the situation, in that section was just all wrong.

Hey, it happens.

But like the image above indicates, I'd rather take care of such problems now than have a potential publisher find them and reject the manuscript.

Of course changing Chapter 15 affected Chapter 16 as well, which I've still got to finish going over.

Then I'll review the rest of the fight sequences before sending it back to My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader so she can finish reviewing the novel from where she found the problem in Chapter 15.

So by the end of this week I should be back on the SCIENCE-FICTION PROJECT until she sends SOLITAIRE back for what will hopefully be the completion of my final pass before I submit it to a potential publisher. 😁

Weather permitting, of course. 😉

With that in mind I better get back to it now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 3, 2021

It's America's Independence Day here in the United States and if you're celebrating, please do so responsibly.

Still in editing mode at the moment.

Was in the middle of going back over the SCI-FI NOVEL so I can pick up where I left off and finish writing it when My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader contacted me after finding a problem in SOLITAIRE.

Have to rewrite Chapter 15 in the middle of the Tokyo sequence of the manuscript.

Hey, nobody's perfect. That's why writers have proofreaders to begin with but man, I've had more problems with that part of the novel than Godzilla!😉

Anyway, apparently my fight sequences in that chapter are weaker than I suspected.

Hey, I'm a man of peace, not a warrior.

Any shooting I do is with a camera. 📸

In any event, once I rewrite that chapter and double check the rest of the action scenes between there and the end of the book (everything before that point was great, according to MFNBP), then I'll be back to work on the SCI-FI NOVEL.

So with that in mind...

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.
