PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JUNE 14, 2025

 Have submitted my COMIC BOOK HORROR ANTHOLOGY STORIES. The contest doesn't end until July 31 so it probably won't be until sometime in August at the earliest that I hear something on the subject, thus I have returned to working on SHERLOCK HOLMES: "The Adventure of the Shakespearean Folly".

Still haven't heard any more news on that PENDING MAJOR DEVELOPMENT, but for those of you able to celebrate today...

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JUNE 7, 2025

 It's hard to believe that the year is almost half over and the weather is just now getting decent enough for me to wear both a short sleeve T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Normally I'd already be in Spring/Summer attire by the first week of May at the latest, but this year has been really weird weather wise.

Anyway...

The first of two COMIC BOOK CONTEST ENTRIES is done and I'm working feverishly to complete the second before the Submissions Box opens June 13.

Considering that's a Friday, sounds appropriate for a horror anthology, don't you think?

In any event, after the stories are done and submitted, then I will be returning to SHERLOCK HOLMES and THE ADVENTURE OF THE SHAKESPEAREAN FOLLY unless something else comes up between now and then, but I still haven't heard any new developments on that MAJOR EVENT PENDING as I post this.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 31, 2025

 I paused to remember writer Peter David and did not post a PROGRESS REPORT last weekend. So there is a bit of catching up to do.

Before the memorial post, I did work on my SHERLOCK HOLMES story but while I am more than a third through the manuscript, I haven't reached the halfway point on it yet because I paused working on that to come up with an entry for a HORROR ANTHOLOGY COMIC BOOK SHORT STORY CONTEST.

I am kicking a couple of ideas around. One of the two I've already written and the other is still in progress.

Which of the two or both (if the rules allow it) I'll submit remains to be seen because the submission door doesn't even open until June 13, which happens to be a Friday this year. Hmmm...

Anyway, Horror isn't really my genre; but if it's one thing I've always wanted to do, it's write for a comic book company.

Unfortunately, the closest I've ever come to realizing that goal is editing the independently produced RAYE KNIGHT: SPELLBOUND for my friend Victoria Pagac.

The rest of the time I've always wound up at start up ventures that never get past the "Wouldn't it be nice if..." stage.

All I can do is produce the best short story possible within 8 pages (maximum) of a comic book and hope for the best.

And for those interested, all has been quiet on the MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PENDING front.

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

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.
