"This is the part of the process where I wish I'd never engaged with this idea at all. I remember this. I always go through this stage." Or: "This is the part where I tell myself that I'll never write a good sentence again." Or: "This is the part where I beat myself up for being a lazy loser." Or: "This is the part where I begin fantasizing in terror about how bad the reviews are going to be--if this thing even gets published at all." Or, once the project was finished: "This is the part where I panic that I'll never be able to make anything again."
