Updating regularly. Making chapters long enough. Sex scenes T_T I have a habit of standing up and pacing every few words, because thats what I do when I'm nervous/agitated. I end up never getting them written >.<
Keeping the plotline followable and not ending up creating the never-ending story. Also, the tempation to "bring back" people who are dead or that appear to be.
I cannot do dialog to save my life. :cheese: It's like I want them to talk how people talk. Now how people write. And like it doesn't sound right if you do it that way so I just get stressed out. I avoid dialog as much as possible.
Consistency in tone. >__> I change the way I write back and forth so much in every day life that I sometimes find it hard to stick with one writing style throughout the entire story.
I can't write fanfiction with any romantic plot to it. No matter how hard I try, the band member or whoever ends up being a totally different person, to the point where it's basically an OC with a famous name who plays guitar.
