Word-Count Wednesday

What am I working on?

Right now I'm still working on my fan fiction. I am on the third chapter and have posted the first two chapters on Wattpad as well now.
I'm also attempting (key word: attempting) to write anything for my first novel. I have the entire plot planned; I've named my main character and developed her back story; I've plotted character deaths and heartbreak. Now I'm staring at a blank word document, willing myself to be creative. It's not working.

How do I feel about this process?

Yeah, at this point I'd rather not talk about it.....
I'm frustrated as fuck.

What am I reading?
