First clue: "This doesn't happen when I write sample article for my clients. This happens in actual projects that can earn me a lot of money."
Simply put: you feel the stakes have changed. Pitching for work: eh, maybe they take it, maybe not. I have nothing to lose.
Working the pitch for a lot of money: OMG, what the hell have I gotten myself into? I promised what? By when? I have everything to lose.
Under that: this has to be great, so much is riding on it.
Alright mind, give me something great and life-saving.
Mind: _ _ _ _ _ [whispering: I can't work under these conditions]
Pausing here to see if I'm about right on the inner talk. + I have to get to my own work.
Am I?
