Is Writing a Wrestle For You?

My relationship with my reader is mostly a wrestle for my reader to grasp what I am trying to say. Eventually neither the reader nor I pin each other down. I feel like I freeze once I am in the ring, and although I know I need to bring my reader close to me to pin him to the mat, I have trouble figuring out the best way to do that: 

Last weekend I was in an intense wrestling match. I froze up and before I knew it, the match was over, the day was over, and I had not won anything. In fact, I spent all of my time trying to win the battle but I just did not know how to win. Once again, another match lost. 

I am always asking myself what I can do to win the match, but it always appears that just when I think I know how to pin him down, he wiggles away and I need to try again. I have never had such a hard wrestling match with anyone other than my reader. Why won't he just let me defeat him?

    Haha I love it. It's like when you're wrestling with your older brother when you're little. If he lets you win, you KNOW and it's not fun. So he won't let you defeat him because he wants to challenge you to grow and get better so you can defeat him for real. And when that happens, you can both celebrate about it!
