As you can tell I'm very happy to share - at great length - the results of my introspection (and given your letter from Claire, I know you understand about introspection). It seems that I'm so happy to talk about writing that I am starting to repeat myself in places. I don't now whether to put this down to encroaching senility or a writer's propensity to keep reworking things until they start to sound right. The latter sounds better, so let's go with that.
Not long to nano now. Good luck with it.
