it's 5:17...do you know where your novel is.................

ok, so i just had a lovely chat with my eldest....who is just tickled (my words, not his...) with his room, his roommates, his neighborhood, his job,......he is working 40 hours a week at the big uk library......and so far he has read 1 book a day between tasks......and has found 2 hours a day to work on his novel.....which brings us to my novel.....which i do not spend time with, let alone 2 hours a day......i am not quite sure where it is.....having brought the big guggenheim bag in from the car when we got back from our upeast trip........it is in that bag...but i am not sure where that bag is as i sit here at the pc.......my eldest told me that i have to spend time with it....not just think about it.......i do think that writing htis blog keeps me in tune with my plot, but i have not actually knit together any of the themes i have previously plotted out.....i can 'tell' the book, but i haven't written enough down to feel like a novelist.......at least not in the way my eldest describes his work.......he has so much potential....i am so thrilled that he is finding his stride.......and managing to make it to work on time........
