What's your least favorite part about writing?

Question

Everyone approaches writing differently, it's important to know your strengths and weaknesses.

Answer 1

I have to have a clutter-free zone to work efficiently. So, besides getting my desk space cleared, it's the daily discipline of sitting down and just doing it. Once I start typing, it usually flows and the time goes very quickly. I'm often surprised how much time has gone by.

I often obsess a little too much over each line and word choices, forgetting that the most important part of a rough draft is to get the ideas on the page. Then the manuscript can be cleaned up in the second pass. Or the third. Or the thirty-seventh. :)

Answer 2

If you are asking me/us this question on a personal level, then I would have to say that what I find the most frustrating about writing is getting writer's block or being pressed for time when writing. Sometimes the brain just doesn't live up to expectations on your or the clock's ends!
