I'm reminded of the bit in Check Please! where Jack gets Bitty to write his thesis by poking him in the arguments and then letting Bitty blow up his phone with texts about how wrong he is about all of it. It may not be a perfect match for you, but if you have a friend who you can complain in long form at about all the things you want to write but we're having trouble with and have them ask prodding questions in return, maybe all you'll have to do is save your chat log and then polish it up?
