Huh. I struggle more with action.


It’s a struggle for literally all writing, and I’ve especially been having the issue that I’m not exactly blocked, I can write tens of thousands of words, I just can’t write anything significant, in any work. so. i hope i’m managing to break through that, but if not, well.

i’ve survived January, which is a huge struggle every year, and every year I’m oblivious to the fact that I’m grimly hanging on, and I think I’m doing fine until I look back and was Clearly Not, so I’m trying to be kind to myself about it.

But yes– this happens with action scenes too, and lately has been happening with literally everything except endless indeterminate dialogue scenes, for me. I just thought it was most succinctly and hashtag-relatably summed up when it came to erotica, which I know is a bugbear for a lot of people.

Ha, yes, as it turns out I can write any amount of people discussing spreadsheets or laying a fire, but anything interesting or dramatic is going to happen in two sentences at the very end of the chapter.
