"There's nothing hard about writing. All you have to do is sit down and open up a vein." 

- Walter "Red" Smith 

In my opinion, this quote embodies the truth about writing, it is just plain difficult. Writing has never been my forte or an activity I eagerly pursue when i have an opportunity for leisure, but something I do only when forced; much like pulling teeth.  Writing is painful and writers deserve praise for their patience and determination, two qualities I do not posses when it comes to writing.
