    Ryan, thanks so much for posting this! It makes me feel much better about the project I've been dragging myself through today.


    I'm writing a bear of of a business case study, and the process looks very much like that animation (except that I also tend to paste big ugly chunks of notes into my document, rewrite 20% of them into finished sentences and then delete 80% back out again).


    I no longer feel so alone in my sysiphean struggle to roll thi $@#%&*ing boulder up this hill (roll five steps upward, slide four steps back, repeat).

    Is this supposed to make me feel better about the performance anxiety I experience when trying to compose witty comments on Gawker?

    Am I the only one thinking to myself, "Dude, give yourself a break -- write a draft on paper first"?


    Which also helps with the tendency to overwrite. For me, anyway.

    @skahammer: PAPER? How interesting ...


    Is that like that papyrus stuff I've heard that ancient Egyptians once used?
