Yeah, agree! Writing is never been easy. It can be mind-blogging and draining. Yet if it your passion, then you’ll love what you do.

Being a writer is rewarding but not easy. Churning out good piece needs great mental work and that just not easy.

Slatin your quote is really on point. The writing career is a lucrative one but until you get into it, you can’t really know how mental sapping it is.

Writing is never an easy task. It is a gift bestowed for someone that truly deserves it.

Not just in writing but everything really is not easy in life if you think about it. That is life. The only thing that is easy is being a kid since your parents are there. When one becomes an adult. The real game begins.

Writing is really a hard calling to follow. And I agree that, despite what it is, writing has the power to uplift lives, make people laugh, make people cry, make people ponder about a lot of things that otherwise would be terrifying to face alone. Truly, writing is such a wonderful gift, and I appreciate and am very thankful that the writers’ woven words are there to always help me when I just feel that the entire world is against me.

I agree, it must be rewarding, specially ’cause not evrybody has the talent for writting and people expect a lot of the books they read.

No venture in this world comes easy. Well spoken Thomas.

Writing is one of the most difficult things out there. The reward is however so much worth it.

This can be applied to anything we do in life. It may not be easy but the rewards are always very good.
Daphne
I can totally relate to this. Whenever I get a writer’s block I always think about the rewards of never quitting.
Maury Cheskes
The road less traveled is often the most rewarding. Writers are generally innovators with unique perspectives on life and individuality. The fact that it’s difficult means it requires hard determination and self discipline.

A life well-lived isn’t exactly be an easy thing to achieve, but yeah, like you mentioned, Tom, it can be most enjoyable when all your efforts bear fruit. I pray that your life’s efforts will continuously bear the most succulent fruit, as you go on through its path.
