PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 17, 2016

I have finished the funeral sequence for Chapter 6 of what is looking like will be the opening story for HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE: BOOK 3.
Not sure what else will be happening in that chapter yet, for I'm uncertain at the moment where to actually end it and begin Chapter 7.
Okay, still a lot of unanswered questions in regards to this tale and the rest of the book, but at times that is part of the fun of being an author.



My friendly neighborhood beta/proofreader Nancy Hansen has

informed me that she will not be doing any more friendly neighborhood beta/proofreading until sometime after Christmas.
Come to think of it, with Christmas approaching, I'm not sure how much more writing I'll be able to accomplish before the holiday is actually here.
Then again, I know 2017 is going to be a busy year for me writing wise, so maybe I should kick back and enjoy the holiday.
In any event, take care everybody
AND THERE WILL BE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT POSTED MONDAY, DECEMBER 19TH!

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 13, 2014

Pretty good writing week, despite the interruptions.

On the personal front, I had to scramble to finish my Christmas shopping this past week, because I have to take at least part of tomorrow off away from writing to wrap and package everything that is going back to the family I still have living in and around my original stomping grounds. I think they'd appreciate actually getting presents on Christmas, so I have to mail early before it's too late.

Professionally, I went over all of Nancy Hansen, my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader's notes on Chapter 11 to ALPHA, BOOK 2: WAYWARD SON. I incorporated the corrections and even came up with a few additions along the way. Well into Chapter 14, and even sent and received Chapter 12 back, but haven't had a chance to go over her notes to it yet.

But I bet everyone has a lot of questions, like:
*What planet is Alpha on at the moment?
*Will he stay or go when all is said and done?
*And what does the object on the right have to do with the second half of the novel?

Everyone will find out sometime in 2015.
Meanwhile, I better get back to work.
See you around the Internet!
