I found a new list of questions, these about writing in general! So...
Do you struggle with the ‘boring’ parts of writing?
Hm, what are the "boring" parts? I assume the question means the parts that are not personally inspiring/energizing to me, the parts that exist to connect things I AM interested in. Usually no, I don't struggle with them, to be honest! Sometimes it can be hard to get going on them, but once I do, there's usually something I find that sparks my interest and is a pleasure to write!
I am almost done with a small ficlet this week--nothing in-depth, just a little character study to try and get my head around a different character. I've been spending a lot of my days sleeping, shocked at how exhausted I am now that this difficult semester is over. I walked to the coffeeshop for breakfast and had to lie down for a bit when I got back because I was just too beat from the five-minute walk to and fro. I hope you're less tired, or that if you are, you also have some time to recover and recuperate!

*shrug* So far, not too many complaints other than my comma issue. *grin*
Whoot for getting things done, even if they are small! I've been super busy and super stressed but I've kept my daily writing going (at about 500 words per day, ugh). I'm almost done with my latest novella which makes me happy. You know, other than the grinding it away by 500 words at a time.
Do take time to rest and recuperate. Sometimes that's really important!

Curse the commas! I hate the editing part so much, if it's done it's DONE in my mind.

I have a feeling things have remained (or become once again) stressful! Stress may be our default state at this point...
