Myth 2: Writing is easy

Myth 2: Writing is easy

"Writing is just putting words on a paper, it can't be that hard "

Yes, it's not hard when you use AI ??!

But yes, to some people, writing comes naturally, while others have to work a little harder to write. But is writing easy ???

Yes AND No.

Why "YES" ???

That's simple. You can jot down your thoughts, opinions, and views, and format them into something with a flow, and a proper structure. Writing is easy if you think hard through it.

Sometimes, writing can be like riding a wave. Ideas flow freely, and the words come together naturally.

Why "NO" ???

Now, that is a bit complex. Finding the right voice is very hard. Developing your unique writing style and ensuring it aligns with the purpose of your writing can be challenging.

The technical aspects of writing are the one that troubles us the most ??! Grammar, punctuation, and proper sentence structure require attention to detail. One mistake, and you're done! Because hey, people love to criticize us for small mistakes, right?

Writing creatively can take up your entire day. Taking those basic words and turning them into clear, concise, and engaging prose takes skill and practice. Crafting good writing often is what demotivates the writer.

In addition to this point, how can we forget writer's block??! The one which is every writer's nightmare! Take it from me, staring at a blank page with no inspiration can be incredibly frustrating.

Overall, writing is a skill that can be developed. The more you write, the easier it will become to navigate the challenges and find enjoyment in the process. Writing well takes time, effort, and practice. Don't be discouraged by rejection or setbacks. Keep writing, learning, and improving your craft.
