\/><\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=Iman+Llompart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iman Llompart<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cThe Why Behind the Making of Beyond the Rough Draft.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>The Struggle All Writers Face<\/h2>\n<p>We all struggle.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s what makes us human, and as writers, we <i>want<\/i> our characters to struggle on the page.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what makes them relatable.<\/p>\n<p>It helps readers connect on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>It makes them care.<\/p>\n<p>Worry for them.<\/p>\n<p>Crave more.<\/p>\n<p>This is all gold for a writer, <i>unless<\/i> we\u2019re the ones struggling.<\/p>\n<p>Struggling to connect with our characters, our story, the plot, the theme or, most commonly, wrestling with that voice in our head that says, <i>This isn\u2019t good enough.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Feeling Alone in the Process<\/h2>\n<p>Writing can be so isolating that we start to believe our struggles are unique, when most of us in this industry feel the exact same way.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I\u2019m struggling to finish my romantasy manuscript.<\/p>\n<h2>Facing Genre Challenges<\/h2>\n<p>At first, it was the genre itself.<\/p>\n<p>I never pictured myself writing romance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always read it, yes, but the overt emotion and vulnerability often found in the genre have always made me uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding My Own Way to Write Romance<\/h2>\n<p>Eventually, I decided to tackle romance in a way that felt authentic to <i>me<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Once I did that, the anxiety began to ease.<\/p>\n<h2>Overcoming Intimate Scene Anxiety<\/h2>\n<p>Then came the intimate scenes.<\/p>\n<p>For the longest time, I tried to dance around them.<\/p>\n<p>But once I permitted myself to write for <i>me<\/i>, without worrying about anyone else\u2019s judgment, I dove in, and it started to flow.<\/p>\n<p>My mentor even told me I had a knack for writing those scenes\u2026 and the underwater ones, too.<\/p>\n<p>(Still not sure what to make of that.)<\/p>\n<h2>Hitting the Rough Draft Wall<\/h2>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m only a few chapters away from finishing the rough draft, and yet, something is holding me back.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not surging forward the way I have in the past.<\/p>\n<p>That frustration led me to a realization: I can\u2019t be the only one feeling this way.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Sharing Struggles Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Talking about our creative struggles, blocks, and doubts can actually help motivate others who are in the same place.<\/p>\n<p>It opens up a community of writers, new and experienced, and offers a peek into their processes, their rituals, and their mantras.<\/p>\n<h2>Learning from Other Writers<\/h2>\n<p>And when you hear how others push through their blocks or self-doubt, it reminds you that you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>It shows you what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re allowed to borrow those tools, try them on, and use what works for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Normalizing Insecurity<\/h2>\n<p>By being part of this series, you\u2019ll see that we\u2019re all insecure sometimes, even published authors.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re struggling, it\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of the process.<\/p>\n<h2>An Invitation to Join the Conversation<\/h2>\n<p>But if you need a pick-me-up, tune in.<\/p>\n<p>Add your voice to the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>And if you have mantras or rituals that help you break through obstacles, don\u2019t be afraid to share them.<\/p>\n<p>Vulnerability helps others who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone.<\/p>\n<p>You never know who needs to hear what you\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing <i>Beyond the Rough Draft\u00a0<\/i><\/h2>\n<p>Writers Fun Zone is launching <i>Beyond the Rough Draft,<\/i> which is currently in the interviewing and editing stages.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re a fiction or creative nonfiction writer, whether you&#8217;re working on your first draft
