In which the main character, despite finally getting a chance to meet with and write with other writers, begins to lose faith in his ability to write a superhero's story properly -especially after doing a bit of research on the subject of superheroic story arcs- and during the course of which he writes about Job's discovery of super strength, extremely rapid healing, and his first steps toward designing his costume.
