I notice that I feel a bit of resistance to reading the "Michael Vassar and the theory of optimal gossip" thread, even after having broken through my resistance to doing any memoir-work at all. I guess I can interpret the "easy" work (email review) suddenly getting a bit harder as a prompt to switch over to the real work (actually growing the ms.). I do like this multi-filter process: first review my emails and compile an outline of that to understand what I was thinking when, then distill that into an outline of what I want to say in the ms., then convert that outline to actual prose. Not sure whether the second or third step is harder. ---
