I didn't have more than 40 minutes this morning. Surprisingly, it's been enough to correct a full chapter.
Whenever you have time, even if you think it's not much, try to write a few words. It helps.

Little fox writing fiction in French. I like old books, plants and pancakes.

Maybe try to read a page or two before beginning to write ? It helps me sometimes.

Yes, but even if more people understand, well... It's still much easier to rely on one's "merit" rather than taking the context into account. The ideal of capitalism creates hope : ("if you work more than you neighbours, you'll get everything you want") whereas other systems won't have this meritocratic (and yet inaccurate) logic.
This meritocracy is reassuring, and I think that's why so many people still rely on it.

I can't tell much about Europe in general - it's so diverse and complicated. But concerning France ? Yes, that's exactly what is happening. Everything's all about money. Macron presented himself as "not from the right nor the left", and people got lost with his image of a "young" charismatic man with a "new" vision.
At the end he's definitely on the right, literally giving money to the richest.

It seems so unfair. I feel like even in France the elections already are, but in the US... I don't actually see the pros for such a system.

Oh, I didn't know about that. In France people considered Clinton as perfect because of the comparison with Trump. So I would never have imagined that she was more pro-war than he is.

That's enormous. Sorry about that. >w<
The fact that there only are two partys seems to make things a little manichean, doesn't it ? So as the Democrats are one the "left" compared to the Republicans, they get all the credit and reputation of a "good left" while they don't actually act like it. Am I right ?

Kinda sad but interesting ! Do you feel like it seems to change, or...? Here in France I think it's a little better, but not that much either. The socialist party's dead, and I feel like a lot of people define themselves as "leftists" but can be at the end extremely sexists, ableists, racists and all the rest. It becomes very pernicious : it's all about image.

Thanks ! I'll try to do that.
I already wake up at five every day for this reason, but I hadn't thought of also having a regular time during the day. I think it'll help !
