What do you enjoy least about writing?

Procrastination is the word Lindsay to my right supplies. Helen of SilverWood Books put me onto New Hart’s Rules.

What’s not to love about the distinction in Section 8.6.2 of that style guide between song titles to be set in roman type with quotation marks while the names of albums, CDs and collections are in italic with no quotation marks? Even the illustration it gives is boss: “This results in the combination of, for example, ‘Born to Run’, from Born to Run.”
