9. What's the hardest thing about writing, and why are titles the Worst™?
The hardest thing about actually writing is the actually writing bit? Like, when I have the outline and some idea wtf is going to happen, but I have to translate from images and concepts in my head to words in a file. Sometimes it goes, sometimes it ... doesn't. *stares sadly at Fic in a Box assignment*
Titles are the Worst because they need to accurately describe the entire contents of the fic, including thematically! Or have a nice contrast at the very least! I looked at the most recent 20 works of mine and only one (Sing Dead the Dark) has a title I would consider good. I did learn to stop worrying and love the bomb some time ago, though, so, hey. As long as it's something people can click on.
