Do You Ever Find Writing to be a Bit Like Skinny-dipping?

@Grateful4you erotica is a tough nut to crack. it's very personal, what arouses one person does nothing for another. I've dabbled in sci-fi. They are similar, I think, in that it's easy to get bogged down in technical details and loose the compelling aspects of a good story.

@GerOttman I admire folks with a flair for language. I have a book in my head. In fact the characters have become all but familiar friends it's just that I'm lazy, always waiting for inspiration that I fully understand only comes when you put the hand to paper and one idea starts to follow another.

@Grateful4you Very similar to how I feel. I have a book in my head, I've written a few disjointed paragraphs that I'm pretty happy with. I just don't have the skills to write all the stuff that ties it together in a way that makes an interesting read. I have the vocabulary and I know where the commas go, but the start to finish compelling story telling is an obstacle.
