Hi Adam,
I think the hardest part for me is probably the editing afterwards. Writing is the easy (ish) bit, as long as the ideas are flowing. But having to go through and make sure you've kept everything consistent - not calling a minor character one name, and then referring to them as something else later on (a problem I found in my first book).
Closely followed by being a perfectionist, but also really very impatient. When I finished writing the actual story, I just wanted it done and published. I didn't want to keep reading, and rewriting, and re-working sections.
In future, I really should employ an editor!
