Why is writing literature so hard?

>> No.11524810

>>11524806
literature comes out of a necessity

>> No.11525539

Just be yourself,
Wonders will rain from your mind,
and be mindful and tell
of all the experiences from your life.

IF you believe it then write it. There is no wrong way to right as they say

It isn't. Do you have anything to say? Do you even want to say it? If not, then that's why. If you do, then I can't help you, mate. Read moar.

Because it's hard work while consuming it it's not.
Writing is slow, deleting is painful, getting all the pieces to work together is difficult and after two years working on a novel you're fed up of having to deal always with the same fucking story

Reading literature doesn't tell you how it was created.

>> No.11525701

are you stupid? how, if not by examining an art form, is one to learn about the composition of that art form? give me a single way, you singleton, or vamoose

If you're like me, it's because you always think your writing will never be as good as the masters.

>> No.11527456

>>11524806
You're faking it. If you were in the correct state of mind the hard thing would be NOT to write

>> No.11527478

>>11524806
Maybe you're holding yourself to too high a standard? You need to write lots of garbage before you can start writing well. Some people climb over the wall faster than others, but it can be done. Just keep writing.

It's not hard, you suck.
