Okay, it’s time for some real honest talk between writers. Just you and me, two friends gathered around the podcast, baring our souls together.

I’ll be honest: I’m starting to have a real issue with all the writers who whine about writing being so hard. I mean… it is really so hard? When I think about “hard” things in life, sometimes I have trouble putting writing in the same league.

Being a single parent is hard. Having cancer is hard. Divorce is hard. Losing a child is hard. Getting sued or losing your job is hard. Dealing with major surgery is hard. Having a severe case of Covid is hard. Those are all hard things people go through every day.

What if, instead of assuming that writing is going to be hard and suck all the life out of us…  we assume that it’s going to be joyful, fun, and easier than we think?

Does writing involve effort? Yes. But it seems so much easier than a lot of very difficult things people go through.

Just some food for thought.
