Writing is incredibly satisfying to me and I really miss it. I love crafting a beautiful phrase, explaining a concept or producing fluid dialogue. Although the book was tons of work and time, the writing was a pleasure. Tallying up word counts and chapters completed made me really happy. This stage of five hours of research each day is miserable and doesn't produce much that's tangible. After four days of work, I've found four plausible publishers. Each day I've changed my search parameters and key words to refine the search. Today's session was the most productive, but I'm beat.
The next job is to produce an agenda for the student leader meeting Monday. We have lots of important topics to cover and very little time. None of the freshmen have yet submitted their health form to qualify for the alternate list. The deadline is Monday, so we'll see who follows through. There are four boys we'd really like to take because they have great skills. If they get temperamental or angry and rip up the letter, they'll miss out.
We got out for a walk at the college again. The temperature was up in the twenties, but the wind was bitterly cold. It's the second day of classes, the first Thursday class, so students were scrambling along the walks on their way to class and bus stops. Later in the semester, the kids will be dragging along and campus won't be bustling.
