"Easy reading is damn hard writing." - Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)

So anytime you read something that flow from word to word, scene to scene, emotion to emotion - trust me, the author bled for you to feel this.

Writing is never easy.
If you felt every emotion the protagonists felt, the author went through the same hell and so much more.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying through his teeth.
