After two whole weeks of not doing any writing at all, I’m finally back to work.  I’m working on Astrid Maxxim 2, and I think I should be able to knock it out pretty quickly.  Actually, I know I can knock it out pretty quickly.  The real question is whether I will.

I like Astrid and when I’m having a rough time getting motivated, writing about her and her friends can put me back in the groove.  Right now, I’m about 2/3 of the way through the draft.

On a related topic, I’ve just contacted Shaed Studios to solicit the cover for Astrid Maxxim 3.  Of course I haven’t started writing it, because I’m still working on book 2, but I have it all plotted out.  The idea for the cover is unusual enough that I thought Matthew over at Shaed would need more time to do it.  But he’ll probably surprise me and have it perfectly crafted well before I expect it.  He did a great job on the previous two covers.
