This goes out to everybody who thinks they have a book in them.

Perhaps you are even more ambitious than that; maybe you think that you could write a whole series, or aspire to make your career one that revolves around writing. Ever since people have been able to read, there have been plenty of intrepid wordsmiths out there determined to share their interpretation of the written word with the world at large. Some don't even want to do that; they simply write for the love of the game. No doubt about it, there is something addictive about stringing sentences together and making them into an interesting story.

With all the people who write or desire to, you might be mistaken for thinking that this whole business is easy. That could not be further from the truth. In fact, there are probably some writers out there who do more complaining about the process of writing than they do putting words on a page. While the creative process can be magical, it is also something that requires dedicated work in order to produce a finished product that you can be proud of. Perhaps everybody has a story to tell, but not everybody is willing to put in the effort to present that story in a way that could turn into a book, or even a blog post. That grit is what makes a writer special, but also, they can have fun with it at times as well. That is why there are so many memes on the topic of writers and writing, such as the ones below.
