Why People Hate Writing

• Writing is hard. Anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t human.
• Words don’t write themselves. Unfortunately.
• They’re bad at it. Or they’re too good.
• There’s more to writing than just writing. Writers don’t just write. They read. They research. They revise. You have to do more than just write if you want to write well.
• Writing isn’t black and white. The creative process differs for everyone. What works for me might not work for you. Which is why you should never take someone else’s writing advice as gospel, even and especially my own.
• It’s not for everyone. We aren’t all born to be writers. Imagine living in a world where everyone loved writing. That’s a terrifying but thrilling idea.
