Well, as I suspected in my last PROGRESS REPORT, this past week was not very productive writing wise. 😒
Between the Cardiologist appointment (and for those interested, everything went fine. I'm as healthy as a 64 year old man with a heart condition can be 😀) along with all the regular ins and outs, ups and downs and every other imaginable directions of life; I just didn't get much writing done.
I'm still on Chapter 23 in the 41,000+ word count neighborhood on the HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE prequel novel manuscript PRIVATE BATTLES.
Plot wise I'm approaching the halfway point of the overall story. HUGH is about to resolve one major portion of his first case in hopes of obtaining his private detective license but the initial mystery that started everything has yet to be taken care of.
Of course, the series title does reveal HUGH gets his license.
After all, there were three existing novels in this series before the original publisher went belly up.
But I never said how that happened, nor answered a lot of other questions concerning his background.
PRIVATE BATTLES will have the answers, once I finish writing it and find a new publisher.
With that in mind I better get back to writing now.
Take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and I'll see you around the Internet.
