what do you believe is the hardest part of writing? By that I mean: what is the hardest part of your stories?
For me it is creating names.

Finishing the story before going back to edit it and make it 'better'.....

Finding the perfect names -making them fit the personality, and such- And tying the plot together so that it flows yet has its twists.

For me, the hardest part is sticking with a plot line and not letting it go off in some obscure and random direction, that and writing believable dialog.

not rambling with dialogue.
And after that, getting in the right mood to write stuff.
Oh and finding the right way to say things.
and repitition

Not ending too quickly and abruptly and creating imperfect characters.
Lidless: What we're learning in Creative Writing at UMPI is to let the music right the topic, not the topic right the music. In other words, don't let your plot decide what you're going to write. Let it go off however it wants to.

Endings. I'm terrible at making my stories end. I either end them too abruptly and therefore ruin the story, or I draw the end out with the same result.

It's hard for me to write the story from the beginning to the end. I have to write different parts them combine them. Then I have create the perfect ending. But I love it!!

Creating characters that aren't paragons. They start out all right, but by the end of the whatever-I'm-writing, they all seemed to have morphed into stereotypes.
That, and jumping into the story. I do that too much.

paragons?
You mean, paradoxal Eragon's?
Eragon was anything but paradoxal.
Unless it was parody...
You know, it IS hard with Kamile and Everan sometimes....see, they have to be exactly opposite in everything, and that's really, really hard. I mean, you thik of every little thing--
"Well, does she like CARROTS?"
"Uh...no. Morbid fear of carrots."
"Okay, so now they have to be Everan's favorite. A'ight."
UGH.

Actually finishing a story. I can never seem to keep focused on a story long enough to finish it. My HD is littered with half-formed ideas and aborted stories. Sometimes I try to pick them up again, to finish the half-sculpted plotlines and unfinshed characters... but I never can get back into the frame of mind.

It's a word, I promise. It has nothing to do with Eragon. Like, in the book Spindle's End, Perfect Peony was a paragon.

A 'Paragon of Virtue' would be someone who is everything that a virtuous person ought to be. A 'Hero Paragon' would be a perfect hero, with no flaws that detract from their heroism, only add to it.
