Progress Report: September 9-15, 2018

Looking Back over September 9-15, 2018
Out of last week’s goals, I managed advance the writing on Mack ‘n’ Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9, the fifth book in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series, the house inspection went well, and I wrote and submitted one of the four short stories slated for completion.
I had rather unexpected writing news last week—that my proposal for a multi-book series had been accepted. So you can guess where a lot of priorities shifted to. It was great news—and I’m still trying to digest it (yes, even though I was 10,000 words in by the end of the week).
Looking Forward to September 16-22, 2018
Out of last week’s goals, I still need to compile the first three novels in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series, prepare the subscriber gift pack, and upload October’s short story. However, priorities have taken a rather big shift, so I’ll need to reshuffle those.
My main priority, now, is keeping the first novel of the nine-book series on track for completion early next month. I’m going to call it MS01, and, when I can talk more about it, I will. My second top priority is to complete the background reading and outline for the next short story submission—which I want to start writing as soon as I have the approval to go ahead.
Beyond that, work will continue on Mack ‘n’ Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9 , albeit a little slower than anticipated.
