Writers Anxiety?

I wouldnt call it writers block...
I wouldnt call it procrastination...
I am not sure what this feeling is but it is one that I recognize often.  Two weeks from tomorrow I leave for the College Theology Society and National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion's joint annual meetings in San Antonio.  At which, I will be presenting a paper entitled "Jesus Gave Me This: Deciphering the Overlap of Spiritual Language in the Creative Process.  So, for the past week I have been plugging away at my paper.  I try to write for at least a few hours a day and have spent up to 6-7 hours reading and writing a day.  Today though, I feel as if I have hit a wall.  I am close to being done...but everything....and I mean everything is more interesting than this paper right now.  I recognize a similar problem when reading.  Often, I will thoughtfully engage a book for 200+ pages or whatever, but so often I cannot force myself to concentrate enough on the last chapter or conclusion.  I am so close why can I not finish either well. It seems there is something in an anxiety of getting done that keeps me from focussing on the end.  

I suspect that I need some time off.  Sadly, my only time out of the apartment yesterday was to bring the trash away and to go grocery shopping. My computer sits right next to a window and while it looks out over the apartments parking lot, it is a beautiful day again, the trees are leafing out, the lawn is growing.  Summer has come to Grand Forks.  

Please join me in my prayer today for focus, clarity and
