Difficult to find inspiration is the most important obstacle for a fiction writer or non fiction writer. Writing seems easy, but when you try to pour those writings out of nowhere the things you want to write disappear from the mind, start to confuse what to write, and feel that there is something that makes your mind a dead end.

5 PROBLEMS OF FICTION WRITING

1.      The Slow Start: You generally have approximately ten pages to hook your reader 

(and often more like three), whether that reader is an agent or editor or your audience. If you do not get into the conflict and the tension of the plot within those first ten pages, your reader 

will likely move on. If background information is needed, that should be worked into the story 

as you move along, not stacked at the beginning of the story like an obstacle that the reader needs to overcome before he or she can begin the real meat of the plot. Jump right into your story, grab your reader, and let everything else flow from there.

2.      Overly Complicated Plot: As you planned out your novel, you likely had many different

ideas about ways that the plot could go. However, not every one of those ideas needs to be included in the final product. Too many overlapping story lines muddle the plot and confuseand exhaust the reader. Once you have outlined your story, you need to go back and evaluate each individual story line. Include only those that are necessary to drive the plot forward. Then make sure that you follow each of those story lines through to completion. If you find that you begin 

a story line, but never quite get back to it, that is a clue that the story line is extraneous and should be eliminated. Streamline your plot whenever possible and end product will be a stronger novel.

3.      Drifting Point of View: Before you begin writing your novel, you need to decide from 

thepoint of view the story will be told. This will be vital to the way you approach the rest of the writing. Once you make this decision, you need to follow it through, consistently describing each scene through that character's (or narrator's) eyes. While it is possible (and fairly common) to tell a story through alternating viewpoints, it's worth delineated. You do not want to randomly drift back and forth between the characters' viewpoints within a single scene, as this will result only in confusion for the reader. Define your point of view from the start, imagine each scene through that character's eyes, and be consistent with it.

4.      Wooden Dialogue: Dialogue between your characters and sound.Accents and dialects 

should be used consistently, not come and go, and the words themselves should flow easily off the tongue.Exposition in dialogue should be held to a minimum.The maxim "Show, do not tell" holds true here.Read your dialogue aloud. This should give you a feel for whether it sounds natural or forced.Rework it until it rolls off the tongue easily.

5.      The Missing Ending: Once you have hooked your reader, you want to provide a 

satisfying finish to your book, let's leave them frustrated.Build your plot and your tension carefully, leading up to a final climax, and be sure to provide some resolution.Your end goal should be completion of the story, tying up all of the various plot lines, not simply a word count.

Begin your story with your ending in mind, keep that ending always in sight, and do not stop until you have reached that point, and satisfied readers will be the result.

6 PROBLEMS OF NONFICTION WRITING

1.      Lack of knowing the Subtleties and Less Experience Writing Scientific Works.

Constraints that are also usually encountered in writing non fiction is less understood about the ins and outs of scientific work and less experienced in writing scientific papers. For obstacles less understood the ins and outs of writing a scientific paper then it must be overcome by reading and studying many books or articles that discuss about writing non fiction to understand deeply.

2.       No / Less Mastering Topics Discussed in Scientific Work being Created.

Non fiction is a kind of official writing that discusses a problem scientifically and can be accounted for. Because Non fiction discusses a particular problem so that if the author does not master the topic that will be discussed in a Non fiction writing then of course he will have difficulty / obstacle in the process of writing it. It could mean that he has never crossed the topic or is still at a new stage of studying the topic.

3.      Lacking Read Literature.

Still in touch with the previous point, less reading literature is also a constraint writing Non fiction. Writing is a pair of reading. If the reading activity is less then the will and the spirit to write also decreases. Therefore less reading literature is also a constraint to writing Non fiction. Can imagine writing Non fiction requires pengkolaborasian thoughts from other authors in the form of citation (citation) in scientific papers.

With the lack of literature reading it will lead to a lack of comparison with the thoughts or research results of other authors. The necessity of studying the thoughts of other authors by reading their works and putting them into Non fiction writings that are being made is an important requirement in writing Non fiction. Therefore if someone will write Non fiction then would not want that person must also read other people's literature that is relevant to the topic he will write.

4.      Not Available Literature Sufficient

Another non fiction writing constraint is the lack of adequate relevant literature. After someone eager to work on Non-Fiction and eager to read the literature, it often happens (especially in Indonesia) that the difficult condition is finding up to date and relevant literature. Fortunately now free service is available in the search for up to date and relevant literature.

5.      Not re-cheak writing

Constraint writing Non fiction that can happen is not to re-check writing made so many typos, ambiguous sentences, the lack of synchronization between the quotations in the contents of the writing.

6.      Plagiarism (Plagiarism)

Plagiarism is a non fiction writing constraint which is also very necessary once avoided. The most severe plagiarism is to re-publish Non fiction of others on behalf of himself. In other words just rename the author only. This plagiarism is an act of heavy plagiarism of someone else's work that is not very commendable.
