Writing isn't an easy thing. It doesn't just happen.
Inspiration just happens - that is the easy part.
Words have meaning because we give them meaning. Look at them objectively, and they are just marks on a page.
The hard part is setting pen to paper, opening the laptop.
The hard part is when you begin to wrestle with every word, every connotation, every sound - trying to create something that says something. That means something.
It feels as though you are wrestling with the past/present/future all at once.
Like you are wrestling an archangel.
