I am at that part of the FFEX fic when I have become convinced that all of the following are true:
1) this fic fails
2) by extension, so do I
3) I will never finish this thing
4) even if I do I will hate it
5) I want to work on ANYTHING BUT THIS.
I recognize that this is my brain psyching me out. I am fully aware that it can't actually be as bad as I think it is. (This happens pretty much every time I write a challenge fic that isn't being done OH SHIT TEN MINUTES BEFORE DEADLINE. This is why I tend to procrastinate. If I have to do it under a hard deadline, I don't have TIME to hate myself this way.) That doesn't make it any easier to want to actually work on it.

Okay, self. Be a grownup. Be responsible. GET SOMETHING WORTHWILE DONE TODAY.
