There's a specific kind of hell where you've read the same scene so many times it stops making sense as language. you change a sentence, then change it back, then wonder if the version from three days ago was actually better. i used to think this meant the scene wasn't ready. Now i think it just means i've been staring too long and need to walk away. Curious if other people have a system for this or if everyone just kind of accepts the uncertainty and publishes anyway...
