It's like debugging a byzantine system, but it's you, and you've lived with yourself all your life. You know you've written- you have existing writing to prove you are capable of writing. You follow the algorithm you have set for writing, the exact same circumstances that caused writing to happen before- one's favorite coffee, time of day, computer or notebook setup, etc. But the behavior isn't happening and you're not sure why, so you dedicate internal cycles to debug yourself, your process, and apply patch fixes like "if I just sit and force myself" or "if I grow more discipline by forcing myself" or "if I just write nonsense". Behavior still isn't happening. Nothing is clicking. You've got a bug in your system and you have no idea what's causing it, but it's happening in production and you are both the client and the developer. Have fun!
