PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JANUARY 30, 2021

Can you believe the first month of the new year is almost over?

In any event, am on Chapter 10 (or 11, counting the Prologue) of the SCIENCE FICTION PROJECT. A little under 20,000 words on this rip roaring adventure at the moment, but I'm having a great time writing it.

Writing is a productive way of escaping the stress and worries of the world for a while and you have something to show for the time afterward.

I've also managed to get more proofreading done on SOLITAIRE.

Back in the Japan section of that novel, so when I get to the point where My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader left off, I'll return it to her so she can finish going over it. Then when she's finished, I'll go over the rest of her notes and submit it for publication.

It may seem like a long and drawn out process to some, but it's a wiser course of action to always submit the best work you possibly can for publication than risk rejection over a manuscript that's far from finished.

In any event, I've got to get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JANUARY 30, 2016

STILL wearing my editor's hat going over PROJECT ALPHA, BOOK 2: WAYWARD SON.
Have trimmed some sentences, and even moved a few paragraphs around here and there.
Started at 71,041 words.
Currently at 70,855 words after four chapters; for 186 less words.
Still 16 chapters to go as I post this.
Will the work be done by next weekend?
I honestly don't know.
But what I have gone over is now reading much better than the first draft.

See you around the Internet!
