I hear you, Sylvia.
It’s true. Unfortunately I was going through this very paralyzing fear. Nothing crazy if I say it out loud. Almost stupid really: I signed up to take some college classes to try to get a Masters degree (I finished my bachelor’s like 10 years ago, so I had to freshen up my credits. Classes I took already, ten years ago. Nevertheless, the fear of opening the assignments, falling behind, paralyzes me.
And yes, I had to write that piece to try to break the spell.
