Last night was the school awards ceremony.  It is the signal that the school year is really just about over.  One more full day (today) and then three half-days for exams and one day without students.  Then I’m a professional writer for the next three months.  I’ve actually been writing a lot over the past week.  It’s giving me grandiose ideas about how much I can get done.  I’d really like to finish three books this summer, and then maybe one more in the fall.

One book I will definitely get done is Astrid Maxxim and the Antarctic Expedition.  I’ve worked on it five days and am already 25% done.  I’ll probably work on that while I’m at Comicon.  Then it’s time to complete 82 Eridani: Journey.  I may also work on Kanana: The Jungle Girl, which I had basically given up on, but I’ve written a few pages in the past week.  I can knock out Love and the Darkness pretty quick, as it’s a little novelette (like Astrid Maxxim).  Finally, many are waiting for A Great Deal of Patience.  I’ve been working on the outline for that book.  If I was a real professional, I’d drop everything and work  on it, as the Robot Wife books are the only ones that sell appreciably.  But I write what I like.  So there you go.
