  1. Remember when you were in 8th grade and had a report or assignment due the next day at school? An assignment you knew about for weeks and you (of course) left it to the last minute. And it's 8:00 pm, and the feeling of "oh, I've got time" gets supplanted by the cold, sick feeling of "fuck me, it's getting late and I don't think I even have paper to write this thing on". And you start bargaining in your head and thinking of excuses to make. You do everything but actually start writing it because then that means acknowledging it and facing the situation you've created for yourself.

    Lately that's how I feel about my WIP.

    Why?

    That happens to me. The longer I spend away from my WIP, the more it means to me, and the more excited I get about it. Eventually, I can't write it because if I put down one word, I have diminished it in my own mind - I should have found a better word. Writing the darn thing is tantamount to killing it.

    Of course, I eventually write/kill it, but wow. I still have to get used to that.

    At school I used to take a sick day or three and hope the teacher forgot about the assignment ... then forge a note from my parents (or get my dad to sign it while he was drunk, which he was a lot)

    That doesnt work so well for writing
