why writing takes forever

• writer: *stops mid-sentence* damn what's the word I want?
• writer: *spends 25 minutes on google trying to figure out the right vocab word*
• writer: *gets a paragraph done*
• writer: *starts another sentence, stops* what is that really specific fact I need?
• writer: *spends an hour trying to figure out this obscure thing that probably doesn't actually matter*
• writer: Wait what's that thing called again?
• writer: *has no idea how to search for what I need*
• writer: *ends up digging through blogs and other archived websites for details*
• writer: *needs to reference source material for fact checking*
• writer: *has to eat and sleep at some point*
• writer: should it be "she regards him with disdain" or "she glares at him with disdain" ??? (hint: it doesnt matter but gunna go back and forth over it for an hour)
• writer: *gets distracted by the internet in general*
• writer: HOW IS THIS ONLY 800 WORDS???????
• writer: fuck proofreading
• writer: okay fine i'll proofread.
• writer: holy shit this is awful.
• writer: *reworks entire sections*
• writer: *doesn't think I'm good enough as a writer and stops for a few days*
• writer: repeat process as needed.

Panel 1: Sometimes I worry that nobody wants to read the things I want to write.
Panel 2: But I want to read them.
Panel 3: And I am a real person even if I don’t always feel like it.
Panel 4: So I’ll keep writing.]
