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

    I've never actually attempted a sex scene before, but I'm sure it's something I'll have a go at some time in the future. I'd be awfully embarrassed, though. :tehe:

    A story that needs a lot of dialogue. I have difficulty balancing it with the rest of the story.

    I always love writing love stories. It is so sweet and the description si so much fun to write, but then most of my love stories turn into sex stories and it bugs me. Sex is a beautiful thing, but I don't know how not to incorporate it into my stories. Like I think when you love someone and your married you should have sex, love doesn't equate sex, but I don't know how to keep the sex out. help?

    I hate writing pasts of the characters. It is needed, and I want to, but I always screw it up and can't describe it properly, then I get all mad because the readers won't understand what I was properly trying to say.
    I hate writing sex scenes, it's is just too awkward for me to write about it and I'm paranoid I'll get it wrong and someone will tell me it was a bad scene. Tomato Talk about seriously Awkward :twitch:

    Awe, it kills me everytime :XD but I wasn't always like that. When I stopped writing that's when it kicked in. Disgust

    Yeah, it's hard for me to continue a story after not writing for a while.

    Also, I get all awkward and embarrassed writing proper sex scenes... :tehe:

    As most have said, sex.
    I have no problem reading it, but I get rather embarressed and awkward writing it.
    I suppose in the fucture when I become more experience with writing I will get into writing it.

    But for now, I'm gunna stick to reading it. ( :

    I hate writing sex when there's nothing more to it than just sex.
    If I have to write anything it has to have a plot or backstory, or I feel like it's a waste of time.

    Agreed on both. I usually just imply sex, especially if it's just lustful and isn't symbolic or abstract, because then there is so little you can do with it.

    sex scenes.

    i have never had sex myself, so i'm like, why should i be writing about something i could only describe by thinking about past sex scenes i've read in books or whatever.

    it's not...awkward so much as i feel like i don't know what i'm talking about. 'cause i don't.

    Eh, I don't think that's bad.
    I learned everything I know about slash sex by reading fanfiction.
    I'm not a boy, can't have boysex (unfortunately).
    And I was a virgin until I was twenty, though I started writing sex scenes at twelve.
    But you do have to comfortable with it.

    I hate writing conclusions most of the time, because I'm always worried about whether it actually ends my stories well enough. Or if it gives that sense of closure that the readers look forward to....

    If that makes any sense what so ever. :XD

    I agree; summaries are a problem for me.
    Especially because I just hate giving away what the story is about, when the point of it is that you gradually find out as you read.

    Actions T_T such as 'he walked up to the door and etc'.
    It makes me feel like I'm losing valuable space and breaking up the flow of the story. But they're needed because . . . how can you explain jumping from one scene to another? Well, you don't need to if you don't care about the readers :file: But if you're a nicer and more self-loathing/scrutinizing author -like me :cute:- you would care.

    Also, I don't like describing scenes very much or body movements T_T

    I hate writing first person. It's a chore and no matter how much I try I can't get it to compare to my third or second person stories.
    It turns out like shit so I get frustrated.

    And summaries. Disgust I hate summaries so much.
