True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.

To me, writing is much freer than dancing. With writing, you could do it whenever you wanted. You didn't have to do little exercises and stay in shape. You could have great moments of inspiration that advanced the story. In dance, unless you're going to choreograph things yourself, you're at the service of someone else.
When something is written for you or handed to you, sometimes there's a very interesting dance as you discover what it is that's required.
Talent is required, but much of writing is a matter of craft, which develops with time, attention, patience and practice, like playing an instrument or learning to dance.
Ease is the enemy of the artist. When things get too easy, you're in trouble.
I have always been able to write on the spot. It is a talent that I guess comes naturally.
Writing is the easy part. The 'getting it right' part is harder.
I've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.
There's nothing easy about writing. It's always difficult. It's always a struggle.
Writing is really hard, and it's really a skill.
