Fear that it will be boring, the story line is too complicated or it's just not any good.
My kryptonite would have to be a mind that works at 60 miles an hour all the time and fingers that can barely break into a trot! I either need to learn to type faster or learn to think slower!
“A man never lies with more delicious languor under the influence of a passion than when he has persuaded himself that he shall subdue it to-morrow.”
― George Eliot, Adam Bede
My feelings. I have this NASTY habit of allowing myself to...care. That shit causes me more problems than anything else.
lack of freetime and then lack of enthusiasm when I do get some

Procrastination....
It's like masturbation, it feels good at the time, but you're only fucking yourself hahahahah
Liz, I am not sure what you mean when you a person can learn something from reading my stuff. Do you mean they can learn how not to write?
AbigailThornton the reason is I don't feel like. I these stroies are no where as good at getting the best sellers list and here I am no where close to that. A lot people especially strong writers that are being groomed to be best seller authors can see short stories of mine and figure they can use the talent in my writing to show case in their stroy. But it become train wrack because it needs to all be of the same talent or if they are able to pass off the borrowed talent then their works will be inconstant. How many times have we seen these so called next great author and their first book is great or very good and the next is shit. I'm telling you that is a sign of barrowed talent. It is happening more and more. I can read something and know they barrowed talent because there is things that writers of a certain talent they do and don't do certain things. And when I read a story with part that represents a good amount of talent I am more strick with my critique. When I see other parts of the stroy doing and not doing things that the talent that was represented would not do and things that would be dome are not being done.
I've read things sent to me by companies as an example of great writing. And I read it and becomes clear they have borrowed little bit of my talent. Only draw back is that these companies that are staking these authors will start to wonder why they are so inconsistent or the very best their "new" reads just like their old story.
Mazza I am not sure what you mean by off the cuff. If you mean wing it. Then you're talking about my style of writing. When I told about my writing I have to be able to explain it to the regular Joe Blow. So I break it down into mechanics. Every should be able to do that with any story. The geater skill at which a story is told makes it harder to do this. A literary done very well will go unnoticed as such. For example, my 'kisses in the dark'. It is a titerary story about high pressure sex and about how she feels and emotions she goes through. People reading it will most likely just say you trying to show off by doing all this fancy shit. Well, all my writing has fire you should know that by now.
I told my girl friend. I don't ever thing I'm going to get the respect as a storytell that I would like so what I am thinking of doing is just keep on writing and when I'm old I'll find some underprivileged kid that hard to work hard to graduate from a well known university. Give him all my stories. Editor and shit will see that oh graduate from a good shcool, you know, he worked hard and it is showing through his writing. But in end I hope that will inspire a kid with true talent. They see this guy and they think man he is just like me. So it gives this kid hope. The truth wouldn't be that good. I didn't come from the hood and that kid and i don't look alike.
And to answer your question as to why I am not writing is because I am think about the scenario I just talked about. People in the writing business don't want stories from people that didnt go to college. You give the same future best selling story to two different people. One person is well educated and the other is not I can tell you with 100% chance the former would be more likely to be published.
Putting together a cohesive story line, to get the story to flow and make sense. Once that is done from start to finish, no matter how crude or rough at that moment, I find the story pretty much writes it's self from then on.
Hitting one scene/conversation/transition that doesn't flow and drags me to a complete halt.
Sometimes I can write past it and come back later, but most of the time I get caught up in that point and can't force myself to go anywhere until it's right. The frustration will often dampen the whole of my creative process, leading to long droughts where nothing gets written.
Writing only what I know. And I honestly don't know very much, sexually-speaking.
I'm not that good at making things up. I can only write from experience and how I'm feeling about someone at the time which does limit me, but not in a bad way. Once I've got an idea, then it's much easier and I enjoy the fun of writing.
I edit for my editor on occasion as well as a few others who have asked. 
But I feel as a writer I should help my fellow writers to grow.
Of all our inventions for mass communication, 
. I think that's the key. I have a lot of partially completed stories because I'm unable to maintain that pace and I just want to jump right into the parts I'm excited about. Also, I want to write them all at once! 
I think the most important thing is that you always find a time to go back to it! I'll be doing that once sitting down for hours at a time is not a necessity and I can freely roam about and come back to writing time to time. Writing by hand is also significantly slower for me so I always like to use a computer, I really rely on the ability to shift whole scenes and edit certain features without everything looking like a mess.
I love to write and these are just a few things that may help you. :). Best of luck! If you discover anything, do share.
