I have tons of ideas scribbled down in notebooks, just waiting for me to actually write them. I usually find dialogue fairly easy, especially if humour is involved. And of course, related to coming up with plots, starting fics is fairly easy for me. It's the sitting down and finishing them part that gets me.

Complex characters are fairly easy, too - perhaps because I've cut my teeth on writing Lumi, who are nothing if not complex, or perhaps because nobody I know fits any stereotypes.

I also tend to finish what I started because I'm too obsessive to let something sit partially written for long periods of time. Edited... too, not to. I really do know the difference. You read what I wrote about not bothering to edit in the other thread, right? Edited by Medea, Monday Feb 22 2010, 10:34 AM.
