My writing process... task starts:

"Denial: I cant do this. I dont care if I have done it before, those were flukes, this is too hard."
Procrastination: "this is a VERY important time to clean something, or indeed tweet instead of write"
Fear: "now it will be revealed, everyone will know"
Anger: "Which absolute bastard signed me up for this?"
Acknowledgement: "You did, in fact you worked really hard and said you could"
Bargaining: "I know, but maybe if I cut from somewhere and re word someone and look for short cuts"
Acceptance: "Ok, I have to do this, open the biscuits and break out the sweat pants, time to grind"
Excitement: "actually this could be quite good"
Ego "this is going to be amazing, you are amazing, keep going"
Ego "IT IS DONE BECAUSE I AM AMAZING"
Review "this is ok but..."
EGO: YOU BASTARD
Acceptance: "your points are valid and we thank you for improving our work"
EGO "Tweets work with false modesty. READ THIS CRETINS AND WEEP AT MY BRILLIANCE"
Reception: "This is useful in a small way to our collective debate"
EGO "then here is a request for ever more resources to do this but bigger and better!!"
Reception (35% success rate): "Ok yeah give it a bash"
Denial: "I cant do this..."
Repeat till death or retirement... so probably death.
