Sometimes despite how much you enjoy a subject your brain for some reason cannot math out how to get those concepts out of your head and into the world at large.

I have a lot of these myself which I'll try to comment below, how about you?

The biggest one I struggle with is Romanticism. Despite loving and enjoying a lot of works where the entire structure is built upon it, my ability to let plot's narratives be controlled by character's emotions and letting them create situations that allow catharsis/resolutions to happen is just too unrealistic to me.

At least, in creation. For some reason reading other people's stories that do it I have no problem with.

Also not to state I don't have stories that do this. I just can't deliberately plan for it. Aaaa

(Huh, I never really knew what to call my style of writing but Romanticism sounds like the right word for it. So thanks for that! :D)

Have you tried not planning for it? I only ask because whenever I write my romantic stories, I don't really have a plan for it. I kinda just have a moment that inspires me and then I just... wing it XD. And then the challenge becomes learning to balance it out so it doesn't come across as too melodramatic.

(Oh! Glad it helped you!)

Yep. As long as I don't deliberately plan for it sometimes I get that kind of story. It's just very rare.
