Put in the work! Writing is very, very difficult work, requiring a great deal of struggle, failure, and hard work finding the right words, the right rhythms, and all the right ways of expressing yourself and telling your story. The best quote that illustrates this is by Ben Hogan, arguably the greatest golfer ever. When asked how he got to be that good, he simply replied, "It's in the dirt."
