I'm not a professional, and I've never been paid a cent for a word I've written, so I don't know how much of an expert I am. But my feeling is that, yes, writing is hard work, but, yes, it should be fun. Sure, often it's not, often it's a trial, but if you're not enjoying it then why would you be doing it? There are a lot of easier jobs that pay a lot better money out there. I think this idea of having to suffer to create anything worthy is just ridiculous. It seems to me to be a pretension that some artists - no matter what medium - need to assume to make them feel apart, to be 'special' in some way non-artistic folk aren't. We all suffer, we've all had trials. It's all in your outlook, I think.
