PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 7, 2026

 I'll be the first to admit that it was another rough week on the writing front, because the personal side of my life had far more demands on my time than I originally figured for the last seven days.

Voting Tuesday November 3 took far longer than I planned or expected it too, but considering the outcome it was WELL worth it!

Wednesday was Errand Day once again.

Thursday I had to take Belle the Wonder Dog to the Vet and Friday was catchup day on all the housework and laundry.

The entire household staff—me, myself and I—are exhausted!

In any event, I did manage to proofread another chapter of HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE's prequel novel PRIVATE BATTLES.

When I started going back over this trying to "unterse" myself while making sure all my clues were in place before I write the final chapters to wrap up and solve the mystery, I was at 49,805 words.

I am currently at 51,391 words and still have about 17 chapters of existing material to reread and check before I pick up where I left off.

So 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.

Lee Houston, Junior
