Anybody else working on a novel?

This is the absolutely worst, and I hate every second of it. It’s like I’m in a fight with my brain every day to start writing, then dealing with imposter syndrome the whole time I am writing, and then facing mental exhaustion that eventually forces me to stop. I’m nearing 100k words, and I just want this to be over.

I do think it’s good, though. I built a tight outline, and I’ve stuck to it. Maybe that’s part of why it feels like work, since it’s all architecture like factory work.

Drinking, eating, nature.

Does it get any better than Hemingway writing about drinking wine by a stream?

Are there any writers that are comparable?
