It's only 3:30, which means that even if I want to write the Marquez section tonight, I have some time -- I know what I want to say about it, so the actual writing should only take 2-3 hours, but I'm not sure where the textual evidence is. So I think I'm going to settle in for a few hours of re-reading, so that I can find some appropriate sections to work with (and remind myself of whatever elements I've forgotten).
I also am feeling less pressure to produce pages -- I talked to Paul, who said that he only turned in 23 pages, and they really liked his. So I can worry less about having written *enough* and worry more about saying things that are worthwhile. I'm not entirely sure that's an improvement. :-)
yes, it’s absolutely an improvement!
