I love writing. I haaaate plotting. Planning things out is definitely not my strong point.
ReplyDeleteHaha, glad to know I'm not alone!
DeleteEditing. Oohhhh it is so hard. I've been going through that phrase with my novel right now... It's so much easier to sit down and write than edit. :p
ReplyDeleteI'm doing some edits, too! Mostly line-edits. I guess that's part of the reason I wanted to gripe about it so much, lol
DeleteWe all hit those rough spots in our writing, ugh. For me it's editing, just because it always feels so monumental. But hey: a writer's gotta do what a writer's gotta do, right?
ReplyDeleteHmm, I never thought about it that way, but maybe that is part of the reason I don't like editing: it feels so big. And yes, haha, writers definitely have to do what they gotta do.
DeleteI think for me the problem is less writers block (for some miraculous reason I haven't had it for years), but just lack of motivation. I don't feel like writing, because I'm tired or I'm nervous about this scene or some excuse like that. Once I get started I'm fine. It's just making myself start typing. Plotting isn't too bad for me. I just can't do intense detail because I feel like my free-spirited self is being suppressed. Writing synopses and pitches are a pain. That I definitely don't like. Editing isn't too bad for me either. The thing with editing is it's so time consuming, and if you speed up you may mess up.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant about writer's block: it's not a lack of ability, just a lack of motivation.
DeleteI should've mentioned the synopses and pitches! Those are super hard!
Yes! Editing takes forever!
Haha! This was a great post. Our problems are quite similar =D I hate writing a scene without a clue where the story is going. My biggest problem before was motivating myself to write. Now my biggest problem is finding the TIME to write! -le sigh-
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found you from Heather's Love A Blogger Saturday meme (on the blog Sometimes I'm A Story), which recommended your blog!
Haha, glad to know I'm not alone! And that /is/ unfortunate. Guess I should be grateful that I at least have the time, should I choose to actually use it.
DeleteAnd that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to head over and thank Heather for that.
