    Haha, yeah. That's such a good point.
    I do it so differently with my writing though.

    For me...uhm.

    Sex scenes are hard for me to write. I just can't do them.

    I often struggle writing in third person, because I find myself often using "him" her" "he" and I confuse myself with which character I am talking about.

    I hate writing the fillers, I get bored of them and they are extremely hard for me to write. I have to push myself to write them, even though I am hardly ever impressed with the final result. I need drama! I always find my beginnings and endings much better.

    And updating regular is a major downfall. Along with coming up with too many ideas at the same time when I've got so many stories to update. Along with proof-reading. Because even when I do, do it...there is always silly shameful mistakes.

    Updating.

    And I get too caught up. Like, I'm doing a certain setting and completely wander off-topic.

    Another thing, I hate those little fillers previous to the endings, I just wanna skip them and go for the THE END line.

    And I'm completely inapt when it comes to writing regular romance.

    I sometimes think that when I'm writing American characters, they sound a bit too engish with their sentence structure and vice versa for like Brit characters.

    I guess the middle is hard for me, too, because when I'm planning a story, I never plan for all those little things that pop up when you write. I need to have total control over the story, and something like that pops up and I can't figure out how to connect it with what's supposed to happen afterwards.

    I thnk my American characters can sound British but if I try and change then it looks wrong... so I leave it and let them be honary Brits!

    For a while I had a hard time writing British characters...then I just started writing in British English (in general...like everyday life) , and had people I knew that were British help me.

    Right now though, updating is my weakness.

    Sex Scenes. The really graphic ones. ure, I wrote one, but...still, that took me awhile and I think I screwed it up.

    And then sometimes I have an idea in my head that sounds really good, and I have all of these ideas and such. but then I just can't get them down on paper.

    Staying completely on the topic of the story. >.>

    I'll just start wondering and then it makes no sense and all and it resually ends up with me deleting everything and restarting.

    Writing violence and fight scenes. I just don't have the heart to do it.
    And also how to organize everything in one sentence and saying all I want to say without drifting away from the original line.
    Rereading my old stories is just like a stab in the heart as I find myself wondering 'How the hell did I write that? Was I on something?' , because sincerely I am a perfectionist in that area and I tend to have a heart failure if I read my stories after I post them and I find a spelling mistake.
    Yeah, pathetic ...
