How do I know what I think till I see what I've written?

Politics is like travel. It's for people who can't bear standing still and looking at themselves. It's the violent hobby of busybodies.

You don't think there's something bankrupt about that?' Greg says. 'Wanting to write a novel but not wanting to know what's going on in the world?'
'I know what's going on in the world,' Cheryl says. 'Politicians are corrupt, dictators are torturing people to death, the West's enslaved by money, the Third World's starving. What's going on in the world's what's always going on in the world, what's always gone on. The hairstyles change, that's all.

There's what you need and there's what you want, Cheryl had written. There may be a universe out there in which they're one and the same thing, but it isn't the universe I live in.
