It's difficult for me, also. It seems I did well in this one, but there are a few that I've fallen flat on my face with. One story, I couldn't grasp at all, nor was the research I was doing producing anything for me. So, I said, "fuck it," and wrote a fiction story within a fiction story. It was fun!

Part of doing these works, or any writing, is to stop thinking about it and do it. Thinking about it is way harder than the actual doing.

Join in some time. Fall flat on your face. This community will help dust you off after you stand back up. 8-) At some point, it might happen that you write something amazing, even if by accident (which the piece was for me).
