PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 3, 2020

I truly wish I could say that the first draft to SOLITAIRE is finished, but not quite yet.

I am 62,000+ words and on Chapter 30.

Not sure how many actual chapters there will be, but this past week I did write the concluding scene and tweaked the existing Epilog accordingly.

The goal is to close the gap between all that and where I actually left off in Chapter 30 before I jumped ahead again.

Now the way I see it, there's nothing wrong with jumping ahead when necessary.

After all, if you've got a strong idea for a scene later than where you actually are in a manuscript at the moment, you certainly want to get it down in writing and not run the risk of losing it.

What if, when you finally come to that moment later on, you forgot what it was?

Better to have those parts ready and waiting for however long it takes to reach the point where you need them instead.

In any event, I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 3, 2015

FIRST AND FOREMOST...
Tommy Hancock has had his surgery and is at home recovering.

Now then...
Chapter 18, Take 2 has just come back earlier this evening from my friendly neighborhood beta/proofreader, while I was working on Chapter 19 of ALPHA, BOOK 2: WAYWARD SON.
Still not sure if Chapter 19 will be the finale or if there will be a Chapter 20.
Either way, am nearing the end of the manuscript at last!
Will go over her review of Chapter 18 tomorrow when I'm fresh.

In the meantime, see you around the Internet.
