If you’re a writer, there’s something simple you need to remember:
Good books are hard to write. Bad books are a breeze.
Writing a good book is a battle. You fight fear and laziness and doubt. Good books take vulnerability and courage and creativity to write.
Do you know what it takes to write a bad book?
Typing.
The next time you struggle to complete a thought, create a character or make a point in your book and the shadows of frustration creep across the page, don’t forget. It’s OK for it to be difficult. It’s supposed to be.
Good books are hard to write. Bad books are a breeze.
