Writing Is Easy

Writing is so hard it's easy...

Easy to ignore.
Easy to abandon.
And writers be so crazy...
Crazy enough to equate ease with talent.
Crazy enough to forget it's a business.
Hopefully, we have friends who will remind us...
Treat writing like a job.
A job?
What a novel idea!
Here's the thing:
Write when you don't feel like it.
Market when you'd rather stick needles in your eyes.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
