I just thought of another thing I find I have problems with, starting a story. As in I have the story from start to finish in my head, but how to I write that opening paragraph? I have a tendency of doing something like "it was a dark and stormy night" when that just sounds too Snoopy for me.
My second NCIS fic started rough to me at least.

A couple days after Elizabeth visited Ducky, he decided to call his old friend. That call was the first of many over the course of the next month. The two men helped to ease each others minds over the ordeal that Ducky had endured. As the weather continued to warm, so did Ducky’s spirits.
I know its good, but to me it just sounds, rough, almost awkward if I had to choose.
