Okay, so, I've got the beginning, ending, and several key middle scenes down pat for my current story. The problem is linking it all together and adding enough mystery/action scenes so the story isn't just talking heads.
...The problem is, despite the fact that I like reading/watching action scenes, I'm actually pretty horrible at writing them.
...The problem is, I get really, overly concerned about pacing and freeze up.
...The problem is, I'm also terrible at writing mysteries (since apparently I get bored when I already know the answer ahead of time...?).
...The problem is, it's almost finals period and I've been hideously neglecting law school in favor of banging my head over this story to FREAKING FINISH IT ALREADY (even though I'm still not sure how long this story is going to be—a 20-25k word novella? Or a 50k short novel???) [wordcount check: it's about 15k so far].
...The problem is, I've been running myself so hard, between writing and doing law readings, that my eyes are starting to implode (I already know my eyesight got even worse since I started law school—thanks, law school).
WRITER PROBLEMS, GAHHH
