Do you ever get stuck on a sentence and go crazy because you know there is a perfect way to describe this action, that character, the setting, or whatever it is. You know that it exists. It's on the tip of your tongue. Maybe it's even just a word that your stuck on. You can think of synonyms, similar spellings, but that one word you need is missing from your head.
What was that word/sentence? How long did it take you to remember it? Did you compromise because you couldn't remember?
Often times I forget really simple words while I'm writing. I'll know exactly how I want to write the sentence that's five lines down but by the time I get there I forgot what the exact wording was and I get stuck on it. Like this sentence took me five minutes to write becuase I couldn't remember what word I wanted to use to describe the lines lol. It wasn't even that complicated of a sentence.
The dampened dirt was just hard enough to make sharp lines perfect for drawing.
