Hi all!
Here's a question for all the scribes out there; What do you find is the hardest thing to write?
To kick it off, I'll give you an example of what I mean. Personally, I tend to find things like dialogue and (to a lesser extent) the 'action' in tickling stories comes relatively easy. I say "relatively" easy as opposed to just "easy" because it all takes effort. By comparison, in the bulk of my work there is usually a character or two who finds themselves having a rather explosive orgasm(s). When it comes to writing the orgasms, holy moly is it difficult! It would be easy to just type "And then they all came and went home" but I imagine anyone who's read that far into the tale is wanting (and deserving) of something a bit more descriptive.
I have asked myself if perhaps it's not so much the orgasms themselves that are hard to write, but keeping it fresh from story to story. How can I portray the "volcanically intense eruption of bliss" differently than I did in the last story? I don't believe for a moment that there's a limit to the amount of ways it can be done, I'm not and never have been a big believer in limits, particularly when it comes to crafting fiction. But I do struggle with this particular piece of descriptive writing.
So there you have it friends, my "The Hardest Thing To Write Is ___________". Any other takers? Don't worry, it's not easy to admit your short comings, (and I'm honestly now fearing readers and fellow writers alike scrutinizing every future orgasm scene I write!) but I promise not to laugh.
Have at it!
