PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 3, 2025

 I FINALLY FINISHED PROOFREADING SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA!

The final word count was 59,956. Up 411 words from when I began.

The only delay now is Ron Fortier of Airship 27 wants me to wait on sending it to him until after his Cancer Surgery on May 9.

Considering he's already shared information about this on Facebook, the Airship 27 Flight Log and other places, it's not like I'm revealing some deep dark secret that is supposed to remain private and I'm sure everyone reading these words joins me in wishing Ron good luck and a speedy recovery.

So now to pick up where I left off on the SHERLOCK HOLMES mystery I was working on when I decided trying to bounce back and forth between HOLMES and SOLITAIRE wasn't working and focused just on the lady until that was completed.

The story has gained a (working) title, "The Adventure of the Shakespearean Folly", but I'm only somewhere between a quarter and a third of the way through completing the first draft of that manuscript.

I'm going to have to reread everything I already have and take it from there.

As for that OTHER MATTER I've been eluding to over the last few Progress Reports, until an official public announcement is made by the other party involved I can't go into any greater detail than I already have.

But if you follow the recent Internet comments of a few of my fellow writers carefully, you'll know I'm not alone in the current situation.

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

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.

4 May, 2025 (MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! 😏)

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 3, 2014

News to celebrate!

In my capacity a its Editor-In-Chief, got to post Star Wars themed jokes on The Free Choice E-Zine since today is May the Fourth, as in "May the Force be with you."
Unfortunately, the way the calendar is arranged, this opportunity will not arise again until 2025!

Meanwhile, there's some serious progress to report since the last update.

I FINISHED the short story that has a May deadline, and it is now in the hands of Nancy A. Hansen, my friend, fellow writer, and beta-reader for review. Once she has finished going over it, I shall make a final pass before submitting it to the publisher!

Meanwhile, I have completed Chapters 7 AND 8 to Alpha, Book 2: Wayward Son!
The manuscript is at about the 25,000 word mark at the moment, with about a third of my plot for this volume covered.

So overall, it has been a great week writing wise.
See you around the Internet!
