--Which character in your current WiP is hardest to write?

Oh, easy question this week: definitely Sami Zayn, who I never had great amounts of confidence writing anyway, and since he's shifted moral alignment I just... can't, really. I have no real idea why he's doing anything he's doing (or even WHAT he's doing, like there's a scene where he might have tried to trick and betray his friend, but there's no definite answer and they never address it again, so what the hell am I supposed to do with that?) So everything feels OOC and it's really frustrating. THUS THE SLOW WRITING. But I did get a few hundred words written this week, and there's hope for more this weekend! How about you, who's giving you fits at the moment?

Recently I tried writing Cassandra Cain again and I still struggle to write her well. Now I'm back to Steve/Tony and making POV choices. Steve is usually a little harder to write for me than Tony because he plays his emotions so close to heart and keeps it all in and yet all his actions are very rooted in them and they become kind of the basis of his strategic mind. It depends on the canon and the moment in time how easy I find that to write.

Oh, Cass, that would be a challenge! I think I've only tried it a couple of times...

And I hear you about Steve as well, pre-serum! It's such a very different mind-state for him to be in compared to what we're used to...
