Analysis of Withdrawing
After you've been knocked down, had your best plan fail spectacularly, you try to regroup
To save face, in some small way, at least, not wanting to feel like a chicken, trapped in a coop
So you simply back away a distance, trying to take in the entirety of the great fall you took
So that you can enable yourself to write a more organized, better-ending chapter of your book
