Demand

Write. 
What do I write? 
Anything. 
Okay.
"He fought. "
Make it detailed. 
Okay, fair. 
I'll fix it. 
"His fist collided with the man. "
How about this? 
Boring. 
Where's the detail? 
Okay. 
I'll edit it. 
"His fingers curled at his sides before he lifted his arm and threw a punch. "
Okay. 
It's longer. 
It looks detailed. 
Will they like this? 
Ew. 
Why is he fighting? 
He should be a romantic. 
Fighters are overrated. 
Okay..
Scrap that. 
Again. 
"He kissed her. "
Better? 
I've changed it all. 
No punches, 
No fights. 
He's a romantic, 
Trying to get a kiss, 
Yeah? 
Ew. 
Too boring. 
Where's the detail? 
Okay... 
I'll add more. 
"His fingers brushed against her cheek, cupping her face as he pressed his lips against hers. "
There.
 It has to be perfect now. 
Right? 
Ugh. 
It's like every other romantic scene. 
Now what? 
Make it spicey! 
How? 
I dont know. 
You're the writer. 
You should know how to write a scene like this. 
I should? 
Why can't you just write it? 
I'm not a writer. 
You are. 
I give up. 
I can't write. 
Not what they want. 
And if they don't like it, 
Who will? 
I can't write. 
No more editting. 
I'll just scrap everything. 
Everything I have.
