I find writing really difficult - definitely the most difficult of all the things I do.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

I find writing extremely difficult. I usually have to drag myself to my desk, mainly because I doubt myself. And it's getting harder because I want to improve with every book.

Writing is very cathartic for me. As a teacher, I hear many students say that writing can be painful and exhausting. It can be, but ultimately I believe that if you push through, the process is healing and exhilarating.

There's nothing easy about writing. It's always difficult. It's always a struggle.

You know, writing is really difficult, and it takes a real patience and a skill. I don't know if I have that. I admire it in others, so much, and I envy it.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

Writing has been as difficult for me as for people who don't like to write and as little fun.

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

I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve.
