What are you actively writing today, if anything? And what's the hold-up getting it done?
Currently, I have several in a holding pattern that I can't resist working on or tweaking (or maybe "twerking"?), but can't quite seem to finish out.
1.) "Two Dog Nights" - Twisted November/April romance. He's a battle scarred and battle fatigued widower. She's an escapee (not runaway since she's eighteen + one month) from abusive and sexually abusive foster situations. Snowed in together for seven days (Stockholm syndrome anyone?)
Holdup - Way too bogged down in details. She's deaf. He doesn't have electricity(but does have gas and water) ergo no lights. Ergo no "conversation" after dark. Just as an example. Also the emotional baggage. He has to be "safe", giving her the opportunity to be the aggressor.
2.) "Friendly Favor" - He (mid-thirties) is actually after Mom (mid-forties), but she asks him to take daughter (nineteenish) on first date. Daughter is actually somewhat of a savant, graduated HS early and is graduating college and about to move on to MIT for grad school.
Holdup - Again with the baggage. This time, more of trying to hit the right combination of intelligence in other areas while maintaining social ineptness for the daughter. (She ran away, yelling, from the only other person to ask her out on a date.) And then, there is the whole seduction of Mom while daughter is attempting to seduce him (not at the same time, sorry guys).
3.) "Lunch Lady" - A thirtyish, you guessed it, school lunch room worker dealing with "empty nest" is seduced by a recent graduate. Ironically, the graduate is the "legitimate" son of the father of her "illegitimate" son.
Holdup - Mainly, I didn't really want to do this one. But, it keeps cropping up while I'm working on the others. At this rate, it's probably going to end up being done first. Although, I am having some issues with nailing the right "flavor" of the female POV protagonist wrestling with temptation.
4.) "Class Project" - A "nontraditional" student (28) wrestling with sex addiction is required to take a class in human sexuality in order to graduate college. His three other group members are confirmed misandristic lesbian (23), bi party girl (22), and virgin-waiting-for-marriage (21). A final project which has been put off until the last moment is due, and then he will be "safe". But, the fiancée of the virgin cheated on her, sparking a dangerous situation when the bi party girl decides to have some fun and show the virgin what she's been missing.
Holdup - I very much wanted this one to be straight up porn with no fuss and no muss. Particularly after wrestling with the baggage inherent in the others. No such luck.
5.) "Hello World" - At first intended to be an entrant in Golden_Maia's impromptu "Star Wars Month" Sci-Fi contest, this one got away from me. Upon death, a guy donates his body to science. Only, the scientists weren't very interested in the rest of it, just his brain. Is he dead if there is activity in the disembodied brain? Is this heaven? Is this hell?
Holdup - The first stages where he back hacked and took control of the computers went better than I thought. The voyeuristic hacking of phones and computers to peep on people went too well. Scarily too well. That shit is way too easy. </shudder> But, I went off the rails when he took control of an OhMiBod during a Web show and ended up harming the girl (twenty-seven orgasms).
And he was building multiple robot bodies! Complete with piston driven vibrators! Two each! 
That's the point when I went "oh, shit" and stopped for a rethink. First, I didn't figure Laurel would let that squeak past. And second, I didn't like the stalkerish way it was trending towards Erotic Horror. (Think "Terminator" or "Caprica" crossed with a dual-donged "Fuck Machine".
)
I've got several others in various plotting and planning stages, including one very weird one for nude day, but those are the ones that have crossed the 100k benchmark. And the ones that are open in a cascade as I pause in working on them to type this...
So, what are you writing on today? And is the only holdup that you can't stay away from the forums
o) or something else?
