Finishing my paper on Williamson's "Knowledge and Its Limits" is going torturously. I have always done this and I think its a pattern I need to break out of. Rather than just writing then going back and editting, I tend to belabor every single point as I'm writing. So, if I can't quite make my mind up I'll just do something else for a bit. I can't get myself to move on from a point then come back to it later. I guess its an odd kind of perfectionism or something. Presently it's driving me batty. I've had this paper pretty well worked out in my head for weeks. I just keep ruminating the same points over and over. Then I sit down to write and can't spit them out. Bahhhh. Tomorrow I must finish.
