Is it difficult to write?

Writing has moved from a mere action of expression of ideas to a way of life. Whether the purpose of the writing is to convince customers to purchase a product or just for fun /engagement of readers for open discussions, we writers are worthy of cheers. The hardest part of being a writer is believing in yourself, being yourself and being okay with it. I, in particular can testify to this. Hitting the word count, coming up with ideas, creating characters was never a problem for me. But once it came to believing in myself, that’s a major challenge I’ve to face everyday if not for the rest of my life. I have gotten a lot of criticisms from people. What has helped me? “People talk, few understand” an unpopular quote I usually tell myself. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not a good writer. Always remember, the first step to becoming a good writer is believing in yourself.
