    I can't write slash or decent sex scenes if it meant the death of me. >_<

    Summaries, description in general, interesting dialogue, things like that.
    I always seem to make one character with a really long or uncommon surname or forename.
    Keeping the same character traits throughout the story.
    And titles. I couldn't think of a decent title even if it figuratively forced itself into my brain :shifty.

    I actually find the beginnings hard to get exactly how I want them.
    I can be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to that.
    I can be a bitch when it comes down to updating.
    I'm crap at fem sex scenes and not that confident at sex scenes in general.

    See that's just my problem, I'm a huge perfectionist with everything. :cheese: I write stories over and over and over again and if you top that with the fact that I write school essays over and over and over again and am a total geek, I barely get to finish and post stories.
    I have like 15 different versions of the same story because I need it to sound perfect.

    Lately, I've been having trouble remembering/recalling words and so sometimes I can't find the word I need. It's not my biggest weakness, really, just something that's been bothering me when I write these last three months or so.

    Most recently, it seems to be getting my paragraphs to flow.
    They seem to stop-start.

    Also, all my sentences tend to be very long.

    Angst.
    god, srsly.
    sex + angst are like, the hardest thing for me to write.
    third person is really hard for me, too, because I usually describe the characters feelings and all that, so that's difficult for me.

    I have never written anything with more than one chapter that turned out well. My het fictions always go completely wrong. And I've never even tried to write a sex scene of any kind. Knowing me, somehow, it would turn into washing dishes while watching TV.

    I have ADD with stories. I write like 2 chapters for a good story and then I make a different story and do the same thing. I have like a million beginnings for stories...

    The only thing that I feel like I really suck at is trying to write about two characters sharing any type of romantic physical contact. :shifty

    Coming up with my own titles. I'm terrible at that; I tend to just use song lyrics even though it makes me feel like I'm being horribly unoriginal. Also, starting and continuing new stories. I have several plot ideas all nicely saved in a Word document, and no clue where to begin. Hmm, what else...? Oh! Finding synonyms for 'said'. That takes me forever. I usually shy away from going into in-depth descriptions of things, as well, because I feel like I make them sound boring.

    Okay...

    -> Sex Scenes. I almost killed my computer when I tried to write one.
    -> UPDATING. Yeah, you have to wait for a life time.
    -> Descriptions, summaries. You've got to read it 'cause I don't know how to describe nor summarize it. :XD
    -> Details. Just like in sex scene, I almost killed my computer.
    -> I can't write any other genre except for fanfiction. That's my biggest flaw.

    1. Beginnings and continuing stories. No ideas come out when I'm wide awake. The ideas come out when I'm almost asleep and then, the next day, I forget what I "wrote in my mind" the last night.
    2. Updating.
    3. Sex/Slash scenes. I have attempted writing one but I ended up twitching like a maniac since I have absolutely no idea what to write.

    - sticking to the original plotline
    - updating
    - i leave ALOT of holes in the plot, and i don't realize it until i go back and read it.
    - i absolutely cannot write a fanfiction, but i think up fanfic stories all the time. i love them. . .but i feel so strange writing it.
    - keeping track of the character's feelings. it flip flops alot, usually due my own mood.

    I am horrible at writing third person, it's always been hard for me.
    Sex Scenes
    Starting the first chapter
    Grammar, but I've got good 'ole Microsoft word for that.
    I tend to describe a little to much.

    I have a really bad thing with chaptered stories. I write the beginning and I've got the ending planned and then I write the second chapter, the story suddenly changes.. And I hate fillers, I can't write them...

    Pretty much me.

    And I suck at patching. I'll have the beginning and the end but can't for the life of me think up the middle.

    I can't end a story; I know when to end it, just not how.
