Challenges in Writing

One of the challenges I face the most when I write is starting the writing process. Even when I have an organized outline and know exactly what I am going to write about, I find it hard to actually get started. Sometimes, I will stare at a blank word document for 20 minutes before I actually start to write.

Another problem I face is grammar rules because there are so many of them! When I have a question about grammar, it's hard to find the answer. Even though there are so many books and websites about grammar, they explain the rules differently. I am used to writing essays and prose, so when it comes to writing for the mass media, I'm out of my comfort zone.

Revising is a challenging for me. After I am done writing my brain doesn't want to read or write anymore. Its difficult for me to go back and reread my work closely. When I do reread my writing, I often overlook silly mistakes.
