PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 20, 2024

 FIRST AND FOREMOST...

This is the 600TH BLOGGER POST for Filling Blank Spaces! 😀

When I made my very first post back on September 14, 2013, I knew I would be here for as long as I
could write, but just on the strength of a weekly PROGRESS REPORT alone, I didn't think I'd be achieving such a major milestone so soon.

Of course life's various and unwanted interruptions along the way (my mother's passing, being without a computer for awhile, along with the occasional interruption of Internet service or electricity) didn't help.

Yet here we are.

I said "We" because I don't post anything on this Blog just to hear myself talk.

If fame and fortune were my only career goals, I would have given up writing long ago.

Besides wanting to express myself creatively, I want to entertain all the readers, fans and friends I've gained along the way.

After all, if you're reading these words right now, you're at least in one of those three categories

In any event, work is proceeding apace on SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA.

I'm well into Chapter 29 and over 51,000+ words in the manuscript, but there's still work to do before the novel is finished so I better get back to it.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.

Lee Houston, Junior
