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?

Plot-heavy, multi-chaptered stories. I used to be able to write it when I was younger (never finished tho ๐Ÿ˜…), but I find my brain nowadays is more primed for introspective shorts. I am in awe of writers who craft really solid epics, filled with drama, adventure, action, fantasy and some hint of romance. I am working on a story that has both currently, introspection & plot, and admittedly, I'm a little worried I won't actually finish it to my satisfaction. But oh well, what can ya do? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธXD

Oh yeah. I think I told you that I'm kind of getting away with a larger epic with an anthology? A bunch of oneshots that are all in the same world. So bit by bit in pieces I am showing how big/mess this world is!

Best wishes on your latest project!

You did! I wish you luck as well :D

That's the biggest problem: if practice makes perfect, then you have to write a lot to practice writing endings for plot-heavy multi-chaptered stories!

Exactly! And I always end up running into the threat of writer's block a few chapters in because my brain is so primed for fixation on one moment, not really developing a cohesive whole.
