    I always have issues with the first and last lines of chapters. Once I get started, I'm golden. Until the ending, where I have issues coming up with a line that somewhat closes the chapter without making it seem clichéd or repetitious or anything.

    Sometimes it just flows. But most of the time I have to force it.

    The start of the story.
    Just...ergh. It's so hard to word it properly.

    Also arguements, I always feel I don't make them realistic.

    I hate repeating words. Unless its a significant word or something, a significant phrase, I hatehatehate having to repeat. And sometimes, synonyms just don't cut it.

    Its just so wekjwlkfjUGH, though. It sounds broken when you say something like "The terrible incident left her terribly scarred" or something. Bad example, but yeah.

    I always hate the first fic I write in a new fandom. I'm not used to the characters or anything and half the time it comes out sounding stupid. :twitch:

    ^ Same, with when I started writing Horrors fanfiction, about 6 months ago.
    It's only recently I've even plucked up the courage to post it. :XD

    I hate writing breakup scenes. It always hurts just a little to tear them apart.

    Overly happy scenes. I just... I can't write them, they just don't come natural to me. And I can write happy scenes, just not ones that last long or are extremely happy...

    And I have no clue if that makes sense :XD

    I know I'll get bitched at for them, but I do it anyway.

    I'm not fond of writing introductions.
    Or lots of action, like with no dialouge.
    Ick.
    It sounds to History Research Paper when I write action stuff.

    I LOVE writing the very last line of chapters. That's one of my favourite parts of writing. In Love

    ^I just follow one simple rule:

    'stop writing when there isn't anything else to write.'
    Or something like that :XD

    Like, sometimes it feels right, when there aren't any other words left to add.

    Ending lines of stories. I just feel...cheesy. :tehe:
    And I don't actually hate it, but I don't think I'm very good at writing wit or humour.

    That's always terrible. It's the couple you want to see together, but can't. I was forced into that situation with one of my stories, but, at the last minute, had them make-up. It was just so sad seeing them apart.

    Dialogue.
    I'm so horrid at it. Even in my plays. :XD

    Also, I agree with everyone who's saying sex scenes.
    Especially since I'm a virgin. :shifty

    Romantic scenes... It's just... unnatural for me to write them.

    ^ Same here. I always make them awkward without meaning to.

    The first chapter. After that road bump, I'm fine.

    Endings... for some reason, once I've started, I can't seem to stop; and when I try to stop, it just seems awkward and incomplete.

    After the first chapter I find it difficult to write the next few. Once I get into a story I find it really easy.
