Neural rock and hard place

The aspirational part of the brain says you should write a book.

But when the pre scheduled time for writing arrives, another part of the brain, a silent scared part, pulls all the distraction levers and makes sure no writing gets done today.

But what I think is mad, is that the scolding voice enters the scene and acts as if they are not coming from the exact same brain that sabotaged the writer.

They overlook what their colleague / sibling brain part did and instead delivers a black and white no excuses style berating.

Leaving you baffled as you sit between a rock and a hard place.
