Porn Star. :/

Working on the 4th chapter of Porn Star right now. Why is it so hard?

I'm sure most of you saw the first two parts of Jaejoong Is A Douchebag that I posted yesterday. I wrote each of those parts in about 20 minutes, with hardly any editing or fixing. They're very raw, and honestly I think they're very good. That's generally how I write: I get in the mood, settle down, and just let it... well, "flow," for lack of a better word. Most of my best writing is done that way.

It's just not happening with Porn Star. I know what I want to happen, I know what I want to do with it, but when I open up the file and stare at the words I have so far, my mind goes blank and there's just... nothing. I have to actually work to write Porn Star. I have to sit and search for words, and I'm constantly back-tracking, deleting, re-writing, and generally just getting frustrated with it. I have absolutely no idea why. :/

It's not like I need a break from it, as it's been some two months since the last update. It's not like I don't like it, because I do, trust me. There's quite a few coming scenes that I'm very excited about sharing with you guys, and I have a big surprise for the 5th chapter that I really want to reveal as well. I have absolutely no idea what the problem is.

Pressure? Sure, I feel a bit of pressure to make it good. The last chapter has had over 1,000 unique hits and three pages of comments. That's an insane amount of attention for a story that I just pulled out of my ass, really. XD

Busy? Well yes, I have been kind of busy lately. School started back up and I've been dealing with that, not to mention that I was also sick most of this week. It makes it difficult to focus.

What I don't quite understand is why I can bang out two parts of Jaejoong Is A Douchebag without breaking a sweat, and yet I can't quite seem to get anywhere with Porn Star. I want to finish the 4th chapter. Honestly, it's over half-way done. I just need to wrap up this second scene, and then there's just the final scene, and it's done. IT WILL BE DONE.

I just hope it's well-received. :/ I DO believe that writers should write for themselves. But... I also think that it's not bad if writers think about the people who will be reading it, too.

Okay. I'm gonna try to finish this today. Well, if not by today, then definitely by tomorrow. Very soon. I swear I'm gonna finish it. :3

And hearts to anyone who actually read all of that. XDD;
