PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 26, 2022

 Last week went pretty much how I predicted it might.

Lot of prep work and other things to do so I could spend the holiday with family and friends.

While I did get a little (operative word here) writing done, I'm still trying to resolve my Chapter 15 issues in regards to the SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA manuscript.

Other than maybe some Cyber Monday shopping tomorrow, this coming week looks pretty wide open so hopefully I'll at least be out of Chapter 15 by the next Progress Report.

Until then take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 19, 2022

I hit a brick wall, so to speak. 

Or in other famous words, "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque!" 😉

Seriously though, I reached a point in Chapter 15 of SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA where I just had to stop and admit "This isn't working out."

Hey, it happens.

So I went back and reread everything, then took the bits that did work and put them at the end of Chapter 14 so I could start 15 fresh.

Not sure how much writing I'm going to get done as we draw closer to the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States, but I'll take what I can get when I can get some done.

That last sentence sounded a lot better in my head than it does in print. 😕

In any event, I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

I'll see you around the Internet and for those celebrating

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 12, 2022

 I'm on Chapter 15 and 22,000+ words into SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA.

Granted, that may not seem like much, especially to those of you who are here each and ever week. But you have to understand that besides writing; my day also consists of cooking, cleaning, other household chores and everything else that a 60 year old man with a heart condition can and must do on a daily basis.

There is no cook, maid, valet or other members of any household staff with me.

It's just me, myself and I.

So I'll take my progress where I can get it.

Besides, it also takes time to do research in regards to places I've never been, like New York City, Tokyo Japan and the Australian Outback that all appeared in the first SOLITAIRE novel, which I am estimating will be published sometime in the latter half of 2023.

While I am writing works of fiction, there must be at least some locale accuracy in every setting or else you run the risk of throwing readers completely out of the adventure.

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 NOVEMBER 5, 2022

Afraid it hasn't been a good week writing wise. 😕

A lot of (mostly unplanned) stuff happened that I had to deal with.

But hey, that's life.

It sure beats the alternative. 😉 

Hopefully this coming week will be better because while I did get a few minutes of actual writing time here and there, I'm still on Chapter 14 of SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA.

Was hoping to be further into the manuscript by the time I posted this, but I'm only human.

In any event, I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.
