Writing is hard because a part of you loves your story, and the other is a cruel, merciless editor who thinks your story is a trash fire.

How to become a WRITER: -Have an idea -Decide to write a story -Do EVERYTHING in your power to avoid writing -Actually write something and discover that writing is AGONY -Hide in your room for weeks writing -Spend most of your time posting on Twitter instead of writing -Cry a lot
