To Aspiring Authors and Other Insensible People

There are 1,001 reasons to hate writing. While it’s relatively easy to learn, it’s often incredibly difficult to master (something I have by no means achieved). With the advent of and easy access to online resources and audiences (via blogging *cough cough*, Twitter, etc.), the market is flooded with material. It takes time and effort and doesn’t always pay very well. Heck, I bet this isn’t even close to the first “Writers Writing About Writing” article on Blogger. There. You see? 1,001 reasons. So, why, might you ask, did I choose to open on this topic? Well...

- I couldn’t think of anything better to write about at the moment.

- I am vain enough to think I might have something new to offer on the subject.

- There’s the off chance that you missed all those other “Writers Writing About Writing” articles (in which case, just assume this is the only one).

- Oddly enough, writing is one of the easiest topics to write about.

- And because I can.
