Nobody tells stories about the easy parts. The hard stretch you’re in is the chapter people will ask about.

Nothing memorable comes out of the stretches where things simply worked. The hard section you are in now is unpleasant precisely because it is demanding something of you, and that demand is what makes it worth recounting later. Being in it and disliking it does not disqualify it from being the interesting part.

You do not have to enjoy this in order to get something out of it. Keep a rough record of what you are doing to get through, even a few lines a week. Later that record becomes the story, and you will be glad it did not have to be reconstructed.
