PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 23, 2022

Seven chapters for over 11,000+ words completed on SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA.

Chapter 8 may take a while though because I'm trying to figure out how to stage a major action scene in Cancun. Between what I wrote before concerning presenting action scenes with just words and considering I've never been there...

For those wondering, I haven't been further West than San Antonio, Texas USA , South: Galveston, Texas and the furthest Northeast I have ever been is to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park and wound up seeing Pitcher Jon Lester's home debut.⚾

Yet if the various formats of the entertainment industry and my vivid imagination counted, then I've been hither, yon and Beyond The Farthest Star.

(A good Edgar Rice Burroughs novel for those interested.)

Yes, everyone has dreams they'd like to see come true, and most of those comprise a person's "Bucket List" of things they'd like to do before they're no longer with us.

I have one too.

If I ever get that far in life, the first item on my list is to get a bucket.😉

Don't know what I'm supposed to do with it afterwards but anyway, it's time to get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JULY 23, 2016

About to send the SECOND draft of my Sherlock Holmes adventure to my friendly neighborhood beta-proofreader Nancy Hansen for her thoughts.
In all honesty, I think it is a much better story now than the original draft.
Not that the first draft was bad, but for every creative endeavor I always try to submit the best story I can humanly write.
In the end, it's your opinion as the reader that matters most, but like I said before, Sherlock Holmes turned out to be a tougher creative challenge than I thought it would and I want my first outing with the Victorian Era's Consulting Detective to be memorable.

With that thought in mind, I better get back to writing now.
Take care, and I'll see you around the Internet.
