To write is a humiliation.

Writing is agony. I hate it.

The whole excitement for writing anything is quite intense. And for a day or two, you think you've done everything extremely well. The problems start on the third day, and continues for the rest of your life.

Frankly, I have always dreaded writing - there always seemed to be pain involved, unpleasant self-examination and a lot of fear.

Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.

I find writing very difficult. It's hard and it hurts sometimes, and it's scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.

For me, writing is a kind of coping mechanism.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

Writing is difficult all the time; the thing is to learn something every day.

For me, most of the anxiety and difficulty of writing takes place in the act of not writing. It's the procrastination, the thinking about writing that's difficult.
