I don't know what the rest of you consider your weak points, but as long as something is exploding, getting shot at, making snarky dialog, or involved in a high speed car chase, I think I'm pretty well within my forte. I still prefer to have somebody else look it over to make sure it makes sense though.
On the other hand, when I start trying to write about something graceful or romantic... the entire state of Wisconsin produces less cheese (they make a lot of cheese there btw).
I've just finished all of the Dresden Files books, and from what I can tell, Jim Butcher has similar . . . if not difficulty, aversion to romantic encounters. Harry Dresden is clueless when it comes to what women think and the romantic interests pretty much have to throw themselves at Harry. This isn't a dig at Jim Butcher, just using this as a perceived example.
I was just wondering how the rest of you deal with your weaknesses as the Harry Dresden model doesn't fit.
