Why must writing be difficult?

I guess so that you learn something from it…. yeah…

Just kidding! I have learned a lot from writing, including things about myself that I sort of accidentally write down without realizing it. I absolutely believe that writing down your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic.

However, it can still be hard when you want to write something you don’t really have experience in. For instance, right now I’m trying to figure out the relationship between two of my characters in one of my books. I thought I had it figured out a long time ago, but now whenever I think about how to progress/express the relationship, I keep getting these weird feelings and thoughts about how it’s wrong somehow, and since I’ve never really been in love before, I don’t know how to have these characters realistically react to each other.

Therefore, I cannot continue writing this next scene in my book until I get this mess figured out, and if I scrap the idea completely, then that leaves a lot of work to getting it out of the rest of the book and making everything flow again.

*slowly melts into a puddle of indecisiveness and confusion of how the heck love is supposed to work*

Oh well, I know I’ll figure it out. I’ve been on a pretty good roll until now, so I suppose it’s just time to take a break for a bit. Once I come back to it with a refreshed mind it will fall into place.

Well, I feel I’ve rambled for long enough. Have a great day!
