Puzzling over the ugh factor around my attempts to write up a ~3 year, intensely personal research project that I want to be the keystone of my tenure case... (why am I so anxious, why do I keep wanting to procrastinate, why does this feel so hard) and it hit me: this is what it felt like to write my dissertation!

Strangely comforting. I did it before, I can do it again. Onward!
