Sometimes Writing Is Easy

There are days when writing is easy, something about it seems to flow, and you enjoy the sounds of your thoughts and your fingers seem to dance across the keyboard, and if you are really lucky, you will not make many grammar and spelling mistakes. There are days when the words are right and you want to continue building your work to a point where it is closer to finished than a work in progress.

This does not happen often, in fact it does happen rarely for most writers. Sometimes they are writing something which makes them some money, it pays the bills, but they do not enjoy the process of writing. Sometimes it is that favorite book that you as a writer have been working on that seems to just scream "stop" at you. (Writers block is easy to fix-- write something else.) There are so many sometimes when you are dealing with writing, and you ask yourself, why you really do want to write. This questioning is not a bad thing, but it is something to take seriously.

Writing is a business and to make money you cannot simple drift to a destination, you will need a plan. Perhaps that is the hardest part for most writers. The planning of something that they do not view as a creative thing. A business to many writers does not seem to be a part of writing, and yet, most will say that the writing part is easy, but the money part is not. In many ways a writer can say that this to shall pass.

So in terms on making money and writing, how is it sometimes easy, the part that makes it easy is planning your business and then working on your writing to make it as powerful as possible and focus on your goal, and then sometimes the writing becomes easy for you.

Just remember that some things do take time to become easy to do, be it writing, or re-writing or even a full-blown edit of your work. After a while, you simply know what your strengths are and where you can improve. As writers, this improvement makes writing a lot easier to do. This is an important factor to consider when you are having a hard time writing. Know that hard times shall pass, and the good times will get better that is the nature of the writing business.
