I get caught between wanting to do "gritty & realistic" and wanting to "play it safe", and I end up with something murky and unsatisfying. *sigh*
No, not "play it safe". Maybe that should be "what I want to do" vs "what I how it should be done".
Either way, I end sitting on the fence with a feeling that something is missing from the story.
