PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 4, 2025

 It has been a very LOOONNNNGGGG day on the personal front, as evident by the fact that I am just now posting my weekly Progress Report and still have to post The Sunday Funnies on The Free Choice E-zine.

In any event, I am now on Chapter 4 to the HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE PREQUEL NOVEL but for some reason the future BOOK 2: EARLY DAYS has been talking to me more.

I know which of the short stories from the original Pro Se Press collection will at least open that novel and I even have the new framing sequence for the book planned out.

On paper at least.

But all of that is in the (far flung) future.

Right now I've got to get my work on The Free Choice E-zine done, then I'm going to bed and will pick up writing fresh after breakfast Monday morning.

So until next time, take care.

STAY SAFE!

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 4, 2014

Work IS proceeding apace on ALPHA, BOOK 2: WAYWARD SON!

I figured the best way to go was to finish writing out all the sequences that will comprise "Act 1", which is basically Alpha's first day on Planet <???>, and then figure out the chapter divisions like I talked about last week.

How many chapters this will equal beyond the already established eight I'm not sure of, yet.
Of course, "Act 2" will begin with the next subsequent chapter and start with Alpha's second day on Planet <???>, while there are THREE "Acts" plotted for Alpha's second novel.

Meanwhile, thanks to its loyal readership, The Free Choice E-zine closed September 2014 with 4,398 page views!
As its proud Editor-In-Chief, I'll be honest and admit that this is only the third time we have ever broken the 4000+ page view mark, but we ARE starting our second year of continuous 2000+ page views!

So, quite a lot accomplished last week, although it may not seem like it right now.
In any event, I better get back to work.
See you around the Internet.
