Yes. Writing a book is the easiest thing in the whole world. In fact, let me show you just how easy it is!<\/p>\n

Goal: change all this paper into a book.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Eh, not that hard. I mean, you just have to read, right?<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Maybe scratch a few notes in the margins as reminders.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Yeah, writing and editing isn\u2019t time consuming or painstaking at all.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

In fact, I find it quite relaxing. Good meditation. No stress whatsoever!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

I mean, it\u2019s not like writing a book involves any train of thought or decision making, like when to cut scenes, because whatever you write is perfect and there to stay!<\/p>\n

I mean, come on, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to rewrite the first chapter 51 TIMES to make sure it\u2019s how I want it, right? That\u2019d be crazy.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

And no, it\u2019s not like I spent over 3,000 HOURS READING AND REVISING 14 DRAFTS OF THE BOOK to make this book readable.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

No sweat, no tears, no blood, and DEFINITELY no coffee stains.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Nope, writing is the easiest job in the world. I don\u2019t see why anyone thinks otherwise. I mean, all we do is scribble words and take a few out, right?<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

We feel no satisfaction AT ALL when we receive a shipment of the final product for a book signing. *yawn* BOR\u2013ING.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Nope, we don\u2019t get excited at all. It\u2019s just another day in the life.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

And the sequels? Bitch, please. That\u2019s child\u2019s play.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

You\u2019re right. Writing a book is so easy. It\u2019s not stressful, not exciting, and it\u2019s definitely not worth the reward of holding something that USED TO BE EXCLUSIVELY IN YOUR HEAD AND NOW YOU GET TO SHARE IT WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Im not sure this scares me or inspires me\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It both scared and inspires me<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Writers I have so much newfound respect for you<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
