Holy crap, my Muse is super-schmoopy these days. One of my Pintofest fics is so... I don't even know. It's like I'm not in control of the schmoop anymore. I fully expect Chris to adopt a stray unicorn named Mr. Fuzzums who eats sunshine and poops rainbows. I'm trying to make the other fic extra-porny to compensate, but there is only so much porn-per-sentence you can write before it devolves into a simple list of names, body parts, and suggestive verbs.
On a somewhat related note, I have the hardest time writing kisses. There's a very narrow window between abstract vagueness and distracting anatomical detail that I can't seem to find. I can usually just write straight through a sex scene and be satisfied with it after minor edits, but if I've written a kiss, you can bet I spent hours rewording and rearranging the same three sentences and am still not completely happy with it. From what I've read, it seems to be a fairly common problem in fandom (and maybe fiction in general) -- not that people write kisses poorly, but that there are very few that are written memorably well.
So I'm curious: what things do you find difficult or frustrating to write?
