PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 11, 2024

 While "Operation Colossus" isn't totally finished yet, my short story for the upcoming third volume in Robert J. Mendenhall's CODE NAME INTREPID CLASSIFIED anthology series has broken the 8,000+ word mark!

I'm in the middle of the climax/final battle now.

Will be totally surprised if the adventure breaks 9,000 words but the story will satisfactorily conclude well under the 10,000 word maximum limit.

It's taken me a long time to get to this point, especially considering some of the stuff that I've had to deal with on the personal side of life since I first agreed to undertake this assignment.

Yet this author is extremely happy with the results and hope you will be too upon reading it when the anthology comes out this fall.

And for those celebrating today...

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MAY 4, 2024

 Yesterday was May 4, also known to some as International Star Wars Day.

May the Fourth, I mean Force, be with you always.

Although I found it quite ironic that Amazon was having a Star TREK Kindle Book Sale the same day!😕

ANYWAY...

Have broken the 7,100+ word mark on my way to the climax of "Operation Colossus", my contribution to the forthcoming third volume in Robert J. Mendenhall's CODE NAME INTREPID CLASSIFIED anthology series.

The minimum, which I will well make, is 7,500.

I don't believe in padding a story, so I won't be attempting to achieve the 10,000 word maximum, but I seriously believe this is a good tale and an adventure worthy of Team Intrepid.

But while the goal is in sight, I better get back to writing now so the story is completed.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.
