Ok, I'm getting stern with myself. Am tearing The Rake to bits. Got some good work done. I'm doing what I've done before which is work all around an issue instead of on it. Sigh.

Edited to add: At the gym today instead of reading Milton I had my chapters, such as they are, and my notebook, and I went through and catalogued each chapter, noted POV etc, and got some good ideas about reordering and what new stuff needs to go in. Also, had a fab idea about what will happen. So, that was a productive, sweaty 45 min.
