This is a great place to get out all those insecurities. <br /><br />As for yours, I think you should just worry about getting all the words down and finishing.

I would think would probably be normal.

I used get quite panicky the closer an assessment deadline was due, and I'd start thinking what I have spent the past week writing wass a load of crap, then I'd be up the night before going through it all!
