Thoughts on writing springkink

[brigdh]

Man, I have a much easier time writing dialouge when the characters are at least vaguely well disposed to one other. This "we're fighting because we're both upset over some big problem but we are not going to actually talk about it" stuff is hard.

Though it probably would be easier if I didn't want an happy ending eventually. I keep coming up with something nicely in-character, writing it down, and then realizing: shit, if he says that, there is no way they are making up in the next 500 words. Or ever, possibly. When I have to constantly fight with both characters to come on, be just a little nicer, it makes writing go very slow.

I love writing. My problems lie in that the characters are so in love with one another that even when they fight they don't really fight. It's aggravating when they forgive each other too easily. Makes me want to shout, "Don't make me come in your world and smack you with a journal! And no sex this chapter, yeesh..." X3

Heh. It's not that my characters aren't totally in love with each other, it's that I have a real tendency to pick characters who could do with some therapy. They haven't quite learned that the way to express "I am worried about you!" is not through picking fights, being surly and nasty, and refusing to admit anything is wrong. *laughs*

Though the sex problem... man, mine have that too.
