Terrific Tuesday
I'm where I'd hoped to be at the end of last week. The second section of The Grove is complete. It's long enough that it may turn into the third section, but that's something I'll deal with in revisions.
Not only is it done, but I finished it while HH was working on the bathroom. After 19 years, it's getting a facelift in the form of tiling around the shower enclosure. My writing day was broken up by a trip to pick up the colored tiles ("Ruby") that will edge the whole and, we hope, make it "pop."
But I'm happy to be the gopher, because HH was putting up the backerboard and measuring our old, and therefore not square, house. (We live in a small train station that was built in the late 1870s. This project will be phase I of 3, because BD is coming home for mid-semester break this weekend. The next weekend we'll do the floor, and then we'll paint.
Tomorrow is a day of appointments in town, so no writing will happen, but I'll be mulling over section III, ready to hit the keys as soon as Thursday breaks.
