PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 13, 2025

 You would think that I would have learned to keep my big mouth shut by now and not jinx myself.

I got sick again and am trying to get over it as I type these words.

Same symptoms as last time too, except no queasiness or nausea this go around.

I did manage to make one creative decision and combined Chapters 7 and 8 of the HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE prequel novel: PRIVATE BATTLES, into one so what was Chapter 9 is now the new 8. Otherwise...

At some point I've got to backtrack and add all the images to the current THE WEEK IN REVIEW on The Free Choice E-zine and hopefully I can keep it together long enough to do this week's SUNDAY FUNNIES.

But I'm making absolutely NO predictions about this coming week. We'll just see what happens as it unfolds.

In any event, take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and I'll see you around the Internet.

FOR THOSE CELEBRATING: HAPPY HANUKKAH!

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!
