I've got a scene I've been looking forward to writing for quite some time now. It's a deep, touching moment between two characters who have struggled with love, deception and bitterness for a long time, and who finally pull the veils aside to offer each other the truth.
And when I got to that part of the book, I put off writing it for several days. The mood wasn't right, or I didn't have enough time that day, or I didn't want to do it at a time when I could be interrupted and the moment could be spoiled.

As I usually do, I made myself get over it. The scene is partly written now, though the best part of the conversation is still to come, so I've still got something to look forward to. And even though I wasn't able to finish it in one uninterrupted writing session, it's turning out really well.
Have you ever had a scene like that? Something you were really looking forward to writing, but hesitated to write because you wanted it to be perfect?
I'd love it if you'd tell me a bit about it, if you can do so without giving me spoilers!
