I understand completely. So do some other writers:

"Advice to aspiring writers: Fasten your seatbelts--it's going to be a bumpy ride."
-Julian Barnes

"Writing is easy. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."
-Red Smith

"Don't ever write a novel until it hurts like a hot turd coming out."
-Charles Bukowski
