Writer's block

You know what's hard? Writing a literature review when one of the key sources you're basing your review on is an article your lecturer/tutor wrote earlier this year. -.- Even worse? He's on my CV as a referee. And I happen to really like him. Makes it really hard to bullshit. It really does.
This is almost worse than the time I had to bullshit my way through a Beowulf essay when I knew the guy marking my essay was one of the pre-eminent scholars of Old English/Beowulf in the world. And the tutorial had only six people in it, so it wasn't like I could just hand the crap essay in and hide my feelings of mediocrity in the comforting blankets of anonymity.
Gah.
