I think a lot of people deal with the same thing or some variation of it. You will eventually reach completion and be happy it's done and ready.

Mine is:

10% writing.
20% doubting if the story is good.
25% procrastination.
45% staring at a blank page trying to write until I give up.

Mine currently is:

100% imagining story arc, characters designs, scenes, dialogues; wondering whether this or that scenario is the best way to move story forward; removing weak plot elements (like ones that sounded cool in a dramatic way at some point, but then I realized they would require forcing some characters to act OOC and would also probably make many readers angry); deciding how should I foreshadow certain events that will happen later in the fic; and so on...

0% actually writing anything of that down

So you are actually doing pretty great.

1% writing
74% self-loathing
25% procrastination

this formula also does not work very well

I hardly write stories, I translate them.

I've been working on Anthropology since March 2018, and now I still haven't finished it.

Yes, I'm really a big dove(“大鸽子”, which means I promised to do something but actually did nothing in a very long period of time.)

So mine is:
1% persistence
and 99% procrastination.

And a 100% reason to remember the name!
