"There's nothing hard about writing. All you have to do is sit down and open up a vein"


This was said by Walter "Red" Smith, a prominent journalist. Its funny how much irony there is in this quote. Most people view writing as a hassle and avoid it on all costs. Unlike most, I actually enjoy writing. Its a nice escape from my everyday life. The one problem is starting, but once I start, I cannot stop. This quote may hold true to some, including me, but most see this quote as a negation of their attitudes towards writing.

Very interesting take on this quote. I would have never thought of it this way. Nice job!

Your view on writing is quite different from most, but I respect that. It is a very good thing that writing does not feel like a chore for you. A very insightful and interesting post.

Well, Adam, it's a different story when you are told by a teacher what you are to write about, isn't it?
