This is the best explanation I could come up with for why it takes me so long to do updates sometimes when, at other times, I’m typing them up like clockwork.
I have really crappy impulse control so when new writing challenges come out (especially ones without deadlines) it’s a struggle to tell myself no.

lol yes! The foreplay and the getting naked part is fun to write but then you reach the thrusting bits and it’s like… are we done yet? Can we go to the next scene? There are only so many ways to describe it before it gets repetative. And it’s always 10 times longer than you think it was gonna be.
But also: I feel this so hard. Although, because with longer stuff I don’t write linearly (especially for bangs) it’s parts of the middle I finish last. HATE middles. Those are my downfall and reason I don’t finish a good portion of my unpublished projects
They’re edging me and it’s not even fun 😦
I really don’t know how you manage non-linear writing. It’s sooo hard. I find it easier if I can stack scenes on top of each other, with little things building as I go. I think I’d get so turned around and messed up.
The most difficult part of writing anything for me is either the sex scenes or the last little bit right before the end where you’re almost done but you’ve got like 4 scenes left.
