Waking at 6:00, I stayed in bed and wrote about 1,500 words in my notebook for about 1 1/2 hours (Carol was in Atlanta). Manged another 1,000 after breakfast by which point I needed to clear the cobwebs and went for a walk. After lunch, I completed the remainder 1,500 motivated by the desire to take of advantage of the beautiful day and get in some bike riding.
Most of what I wrote today will probably not make its way into the novel. I had a Round Table where I had four of the characters in the book sitting around and discussing the plot and their own characters and their relationship to one another. It was a lively discussion that, at one point, seemed to be going nowhere but really took off in the last 1,000 words and helped with pulling the story together. It was quite a bit of fun.
But, the big news in our household is that Carol has been promoted to full professor. She has worked very hard over the years and I'm so happy for her that her hard work has been acknowledged.
For a Full Professor, a house full of flowers seemed in order. Below is what awaited Carol when she came back from Georgia this afternoon.
On the kitchen table.
On the wood insert of the fire place (thankfully, it was a warm day).
The hallway.
By her computer.
Her bedside.
Her dresser.
Can't forget the bathroom.
And, the other bathroom.
Way to go, Sweetie!
