What would you say you struggle to write most?

[HarryGarland]

I'd say I struggle with connecting the story from beginning to the end. Minor arcs and characters disappear along the way and some plot hooks that get forgotten. And then there's the "amazing new scene" that ruins the ending.

Writing major fight scenes is hard for me. They can feel like turn-based combat, it's hard to capture simultaneous actions with just words.

To avoid the turn based combat thing, combination attacks and counters exist, just use them wisely. Also, so long as it's not "He punched, but he missed. Then his opponent punched. And he missed." It's not that bad. Unless you're in a Kung-Fu movie, you're not usually seeing two people moving at high speed simultaneously to fight. It's usually just reacting to the last move and trying to change the tempo of the fight to suit your style, and throw off your opponent. Still applies even to fantasy where characters have insane powers, you just need to control the tempo of the fight, and you have a major advantage.

Room descriptions. I got aphantasia, so it's hard for me to notice when characters are 'floating in blank space' since it's all just a blank void in the ol' noggin.

Typically I have to look up references to get an idea of what to describe for a story.

Fight scenes maybe..
It takes 2 weeks for me to come up with a plan

I also hate naming things. Whether it's a character name or a place. And I also struggle sometimes writing a general atmosphere. So it sometimes comes out very simple. But that also depends on the scene. If the scene is more emotional and more important to the storyline, I put more effort into making the scene feel more emotional and try to create the whole scene more lively. But it is always hard and takes more time to write.

Serious answer: Scripts.
Well, two of the four types at least.
One type is the straight dramatic script where you front-load descriptions, use minimal details beyond that, and trust the actors and directors to come up with something at least as good as your vision. I am horrible at this.
Another type is the type of scripting for comic books and other visual media where you only have one other contact to worry about, the artist - have never really tried at this, but suspect it would be just as hard.
The third type is the "mini-script" or "adventure script" - a short (two pages at absolute maximum, usually a half page long) script to set the mood for an event, usually a role-playing game. After several years of practice, I got decent at this for some licensed properties (Star Wars, Doctor Who) but it is definitely not my strong suit.
The fourth type is program scripting which I am very mediocre at.

Romance ~ the hot and steamy variety in particular. I know how it's supposed to come off, but my brain can't replicate it in writing well enough.
