Top Shots - Jan. 12

This week's pics are mostly focused on the work spaces of my first week on sabbatical because I've waited a long time to have the chance to focus solely on my writing. So I'm taking advantage of it.

The dinner table as desk usually doesn't work for me, but it's been good so far.

I spent an entire morning just thinking about the big questions each character in the novel I'm writing are wrestling with in their lives. Just those questions. No assignments to grade. No class sessions to plan. No letters of recommendation to write. Just my stories. It was phenomenal.

I did have some fun taking pictures with the basketball team I'm coaching. That's my son, taking it all very seriously.

And here's my tally for the week. Got a good amount done but didn't feel--like I normally do--that all I was able to accomplish was not enough. It's been a long time since I could say that.
