A handy guide to some of the emotional states that you may feel in the process of writing.
DELation - The relief and sense of freedom that comes from deleting a passage you've been endlessly trying to get right, as you realize that you don't need it there at all.
Obsessive Compul-Save Disorder - A state of chronic dread based on the fear that your computer will crash and all your work will be lost, leading to ritualistic clicking of the Save button at least six times after changing each sentence. Often seen in people who have suffered a catastrophic experience (when it is called Post Traumatic Save Disorder).
Keyophobia - A state in which you will do anything to avoid actually typing some words. e.g. choosing the best font, bolding and unbolding the title to see which looks better, browsing for some illustrations, or tidying up your references.
