Hope you'll get back into writing again soon!

Granted, it's a sci-fi and allows for this to happen, but each time i really loved it. He's a very strong and powerful character, and you dont realise he's cheating death, it just comes up and slaps you in the face. It's just as cool bringing him back, but not in the way you'd expect either. I guess that's the advantage of writing sci-fi, if you can think it, you can do it! i have to kill the lead protagonist in my novel four times!

But, as you know, the needs of the story comes first. I hope you can get back into a good writing groove and complete a rough draft in the six-weeks you were hoping for.
