yeah, it's frustrating, but i must admit, it's my own doing. i mean, it's better to accept responsibility for things that are wrong in your life. as long as it leads to constructive action and not criticizing yourself.
yeah, i had similar experiences with papers - it really inhibited me in being able to write easily, whereas i actually used to love it when i was younger.
and thank you for the encouragement - i actually think it helped - you and sleepysparrow wished me luck, and it actually made it a bit less painful to work on it. i was on the verge of just ditching it, but i managed to finish it and turn it in on time. as for how well it's received, that's yet to be seen, lol. so, thanks
