I keep telling myself that it doesn't need to be good it needs to be done but tbh the problem is that it simply is neither

An e-mail exchange
Me: Hey so I found references to your unpublished manuscript and it might have information I need for my research
Manuscript guy (a pastor): Sorry couldn't find the manuscript in my files anymore. Here's some sermons I wrote that have nothing to do with this. Do you have any questions? :)
Me: Haha can't ask questions about something I didn't read but uuh do you have information on the restauration process? My source said you might
Manuscript guy: Don't want to search for that. Here are some publicly available newspaper articles on my work :)
Alright guess "unpublished manuscripts" are probably not great sources anyway -.-

Also I have now come to terms with the fact that this is going to be a bad paper. This is muddled as hell and I don’t know how to detangle it. Doesn’t make it easier to write tbh
I‘ve been working for two hours and I‘ve produced like about one page
????????????

Unfortunately I get really productive at night so I did manage about two pages but it is almost midnight so. At what cost
Can’t believe I‘ve been going to uni for FIVE YEARS and I‘m still sitting here telling myself I want to get this paper done by the end of the week and I could easily put out a couple pages today and go out and enjoy the sun and STILL. After all the writing practice and pressure and desire to be done with it. Writing is still stupidly hard and I just can’t do it
