and do you have tips for getting out of that space as effectively as possible?
first, i would recommend you write quicker. that won't help for getting out of this situation, but it may help you not get into it. once you are in this situation, there is not much i can really recommend, although i guess the best thing you could do is probably look back to what your first idea was and religiously stick to that. because in this scenario, generally your trust/confidence levels will continue to go down, the longer you hang around. so the first idea is the one that is least likely to have been plagued with this problem. knowing that, sticking with that might be your best option
