I find writing a story difficult

I'm planning on using this blog as a recording of my travels in learning to write.

I find writing a story difficult. No, it would be better to say I find it very difficult. Even writing this blog post is hard for me to do. I can verbally tell a story easily but when I go to write something down it is like there is a physical block between my brain and my fingers to get it written down. But I am learning to break through it.

My Nickel is helping me.

All the way back to high school and university, particularly university, I found writing difficult. Essays were brutal. Formal lab reports were torture. But my Nickel helped me then as well.

I have been trying.

So far the easiest (but not easy) to write has been stories for young children or from a young child's point of view. Maybe because I have never fully grown up. I hope I never fully grow up. Life is too much fun to only be a boring adult-type person.

I also like adventure. I love being in the wilderness. I feel way more comfortable in the forest then in an urban environment. I am also working on adventure stories.

I also like fantasy and science fiction. These are the genres I am having the most difficulty learning to write. But I am sure I will get there.

I enjoy a challenge. So far writing stories seems to be the biggest one I've encountered.

That's all for now.
