What is the most frustrating part of the writing process for you?

History of the story
its actually the most important part like what was the reason for battle ?why did that happen
some times it becomes so confusing that i get piled up in my own questions for story​
especially when it comes to era , what technology was there at that point ,age of the particular character at that time , and yeah when u see that ur idea is already taken by someone else in there story so u have to change many things to make urs unique.
And as Specs mentioned the focus ..studies, drawing, exams and my story..theres no focus !!
but in end i think researching for histpry and culture which u want to place in story gives a lot of information and the moment when u get the solution of the problems in the story is the happiest ..hopefully all will go well .

That happens to me too. I have this really cool seen ahead of me then I gotta remember to describe the room first before we get to the action. It's a buzz kill sometimes.

Same, in fact I actually start to question myself here when I see those bits. I start thinking "Why did I waste my time writing this extra crap. I suck." But I think those voices go through my head for most of the editing process.

The humor one is big for me, especially since I have a more twisted & absurdist taste in terms of comedy. I make myself laugh a lot more then other people, so finding a joke that hits is hard.

Beyond that I've also had to censor my vernacular to make my work more palatable. I'm from NY & my books take place in parts of the city that have a very particular way to speaking( slang, cussing, ect). The majority of my first drafts could only be read by other New Yorkers. I had to cut out quite a bit before I found things more people could relate too who were from outside of my city.

I always pick names that would be fun or dramatic to say (like if a character screamed their name would it sound goofy)
The other thing I do is pick names based off things I used to craft my story. For example, I use a lot of boxing references in my stories. The Main Character in my story is named Carlos Reyes. Theirs a Brand of boxing gloves called Cleto Reyes. (they're the boxing gloves used in the first rocky movies)
