Alice and I got up at 7 and ate Noah's Bagels and tea at Starbuck's until 8. Alice drove back to the city and I wrote for a few hours in the morning, then hit Costco early and filled the car with gas. Headed back home and wrote another couple of hours until 3:30. Drove to Alice's, picked up some books from the library, had dinner, watched 60 Minutes, then helped Austin with his personal statement for college apps for an hour. Poor kid. He experienced firsthand what I have to experience every day, a sheet full of scribbles, deletions, and general mayhem while searching for the right way to say something memorable. He's on his way. He wrote a few killer lines that make the whole piece. With a strong beginning and ending, his application will certainly stand out.
In bed by ten and ready for another week of nonstop work.
