You just work.
THE DAY
Nothing amazing to report, though I have noticed–yet again–that when I’m done with a big push through a section and now starting out in someone else’s head, different section…I stall. Takes forEVER to get going. I got words down and like everything else, I get new and better ideas when I walk away.
Ah, the joys of writing in the dark.
Totally apropos of nothing: Cameron’s exit is fascinating. I can only think that HE’S thinking: All right, I let Theresa May deal with all the mess that Brexit will cause and when everyone’s good and sick of her, then I pop back to save the day. Or he just doesn’t want to take the blame. Whatever; Brexit was self-inflicted but still not his fault. The Brits are in big trouble but still don’t know it. They should pay attention, however, to the fact that real estate speculators and funds are scurrying away and dumping British real estate. This is going to be ugly.
