PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 25, 2023

WELL...😞

As I suspected, because of the Thanksgiving holiday and all the preparations that went into making sure all my family and friends had a good time, I got hardly any writing done last week.

While I have figured out where I missed the proverbial left turn at Albuquerque in the manuscript for SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA; I'm still about a chapter and a half away from where I left off writing when I went back to make the necessary repairs while I tweaked this and that along the journey to make the novel even better than before.

Of course the proof is in the reading, so for now you'll just have to take my word for it until the novel is published sometime in mid-to-late 2024 at the earliest.

But to achieve that goal, I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 18, 2023

 GOOD NEWS AND THANKFULNESS! 😀

I've just about got everything untangled and will be picking up where I left off on SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA sometime this week, but not sure exactly when at the moment with the Thanksgiving holiday on the horizon.

Not that I'm a major fan of football games and shopping, but it is a great time for family get togethers and catching up with everyone on everything.

While everyone talks about sports and their (impending) purchases, let alone all the great food that's served that day, it's also important to stop and pause for a chance to remember and be thankful for everything you do have.

Although my health isn't the greatest; I have survived congestive heart failure, an aortic aneurysm and a second heart operation to replace a failing part from the original procedure that fixed the aneurysm.

So I do have a lot to be thankful for, even though in these stressful times I unfortunately lose sight of that occasionally.😕

Not one of the better parts of being human, but it goes with the territory.

Despite the fact that there are times when I am unable to verbally express myself (which I will be the first to admit is ironic for a writer), I am thankful for my family, friends, my readers and fans, and still being alive.

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 11, 2023

 Yes, there IS progress to report this week! 😀

Unknotting the situation

While I'm still working on untangling the mess the later chapters somehow evolved into, I'm closer to the
end of doing so than last week, and have broken the 50,000+ word mark on SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA too.

Hopefully by next weekend I'll be back where I left off and starting fresh on Chapter 30 of the manuscript. But to reach that point I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 4, 2023

Still working on untangling my tangled mess. 

While I haven't started Chapter 30 of SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA yet, I have added about another 100 words so far trying to straighten everything out although the overall manuscript is still slightly below the 50,000 word mark at the moment.

Hopefully next week will be a different story but with a Doctor's appointment splitting Errands Day between 2 different days this week, we'll just have to wait and see.

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

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.
