What do writers hate about writing?

Because we breathe through writing

Writing for any real writer is like pregnancy and a laboring process that may be very painful, especially if the written material contains something from the writer’s truth or translates their vision into a reality.

From my point of view, the writer may have an eternal relationship of love with writing, as they circulate each other like two black holes, so every good or great writing will find that the writer united with their writing and joined with it in the form of creating that written material that we enjoy reading it. And whoever knows the picturesque beauty that a black hole collides with another will realize what I mean, but this beauty does not come easily.

  • Writers hate their love for writing, the process of writing is a painful and cumbersome process that does not stop, you may wake up from your sleep to write and you may not sleep to write if writing is your job, believe me, you will live in cycles of beauty and depression continuously.
  • The processes of creating a parallel consciousness and a parallel life they write in and about them, and they live in continuous schizophrenia until the writing process ends, do you think that your fictional reality is the truth and that your real reality is pure imagination so you always try to escape to where you find your characters breathe and that you are the captain of your ship, unlike the reality in which you are literally crushed, so you fill in thousands of pages from there and leave here a blank white page!
  • Writers hate in writing their production as they always have to develop it, they always have to improve it and develop its letters, so they spend years before producing it trying to reach perfection in an attempt to reach the best form in which we will dissolve into the best form we can create, so we do not stop trying and we are never satisfied with what we reach or reach For a unique form that we cannot repeat, it becomes the permanent knot that haunts us, as others motivate you that you will not be able to do it again and believe them and write lies.

Any writer may hate writing because it forces them to constantly challenge their writing skills, as the writer will know that they have to improve their craft every time and impress them before the readers' admiration; otherwise, they will lose the passion for writing again boredom infiltrates them.

  • Writers hate that they should always read. They always have to feed their hunger for writing, build their writing work from other experiences. We can’t stop questing and dissolving in an attempt to reach our goal of writing.
  • Finally, a writer may hate writing when they turn away from them, The waves of indignation that sometimes afflict them, and they are forced to search for ways to circumvent that, they evade the war, flee from it and go to it voluntarily, guilty are subject to, those waves of indignity infect you with pollutants that only end when you write and then come back to you and go and so on, and they become insensitive as if they had never written, and it may continue with them for days, weeks and months if not more.

Writing are types and shapes

Some of which do not require a large amount of effort, so it is like that piece of wood that a carpenter makes for a long time with the same quality of wood and the same measurements, so he mastered it because it has become easy and bend their hands to the extent that they can make it automatically and in record time, perhaps what I mentioned earlier may relate to writing More literary, that which is permeated with a complex psychological and intellectual process, some may say Blessed are those who can help writing, but they do not realize that it is exhausting and arduous, and that is another kind of sweetness.
