Most challenging
Sakabelle:
Poor Howie lol
I think the part I find the most difficult is the build up. The parts that make the major plot points in the story flow all together. I think I'm good at writing the 'action-packed' scenes, but the filler parts that link the story together are really difficult for me. It's always really tempting for me to gloss over that stuff, and I've done it in the past. Going back I think it made my stuff seem really choppy. So I'm trying to work on that.
As far as BSB specific stuff goes, I have a really hard time writing Brian. I used to think it was Howie, but Brian has been really difficult for me because I think he has a lot of layers in his personality that are not that easy to convey. I also have a hard time writing anything that Nick's not involved in. Any time I try to start something where Nick is not the lead I lose interest very quickly.

That's me too! I am having a heck of a time with the new one because even though Nick is important this one truly is my very first group centered fic where there really is no main character and it's tough! (I'm sure Nick will end up being the main one eventually lol)
Carter-Orange:
I have a hard time writing their families, so I don't tend to include them or I give them made up wives/girlfriends. I'm not interested in any other Carter but Nick :)
Mariah:
Mainly its girlfriends/families and kids. I don't have any kids so that one is kinda moot. I'm more about centering the story around less individuals than just a group of other people. Besides the guys of course. AJ is funny in some ways. Brian I like to play around with. Nick is sort of becoming easier. Howie I feel is a mystery. A lot of other authors may not see that. I'm starting to like him more and more. Kevin I could write but I choose not to.
Pengi:
Howie is the most elusive character ever, just saying.
That said, my biggest challenge is keeping focused long enough to conclude a story. LOL My mind whirrs along and flits from story to story and I find myself writing new things that either a) was never intended for a particular story and must now be worked into a storyline, or b) is a whole new story altogether and eventually breaks off into its own thing and drives my readers nuts.
It's artistic ADD, I swear.
Yet none of my ideas are really bite-sizable stories that could be expressed right in a one shot or short story.
It's a catch 22.
