Why is writing so hard sometimes?
I’m trying out the trackbacks. Who knows if I’m using them correctly, because although I’ve had a blog for over a year, I rarely do more than post entries and read other peoples’ posts.
Heather tagged me with an interesting question (and if I’m using “tagged” in the wrong context you can tell me, but it’s unlikely I’ll ever get it right). She asks, “Why is writing so hard sometimes?”
I don’t know. More often than not, for me, writing is hard. If I knew how to make it easy, ever, I’d sell the idea for a million and retire for a couple of years. (A million doesn’t go as far these days as it used to, does it?)
I would assume that if your motivation for writing is strong enough, it might be easier for you. But then again, it might not. Strong motivations can cause a lot of stress and when you’re dealing with too much stress, nothing’s easy.
So, my official answer to the question of why is writing so hard sometimes?
Because it is. How’s that for simplicity?
