Painting my frustrations away

I'm about a fifth of the way into the sequel of REUNION , while waiting for the author copies of the first KDP LIVE publishing. There is certain imagery required which I need to create , integral to the plot of this second effort . I've been painting the interior of my house , physical activity which helps-- I find--- to gel thoughts as one works . I've come up with a design, but still figuring out ways to use it to forward the plot . Baby Steps as they say. (The imagery itself will probably take at least a week to get it properly ready for the design cover and to use as the regulator between chapters etc. I feel a bit under the gun with this second book, as I don't usually do any writing in the Spring , but I'm behind a bit as KDP was new to me and took more time originally than I thought, so I might have to catch up on the sequel this summer. Ugh. Best Laid Plans ...
