I just spent the last four hours reworking one paragraph.
It has become four paragraphs.
It has become a single sentence.
It has become half a page.
It has been completely deleted.
Now back to a couple paragraphs.

I do the exact same.
I’m so glad I’m not neurotic but a writer honing my craft.
Loved your post 🤣
That's the day I'm heading into
12000 to wrestle into a chapter
I'm drinking.
I'm eating chocolate.
Undone that.
Redone that.
Abandoned that.
I often find that where I get completely stuck its because I messed up earlier in the chapter, previous chapter, or book, which led to this point.
It also doesn't help that I employ many of the internets' worst critics in my head.
