It bothers me when I tell people I'm a writer and they respond that they've always wanted to write a book, and generally it's about their life. I don't mind that; I do mind the way the act of writing, to them, appears so casual. Good writing really is damned hard. Crafting a work that resonates beyond one's ego is the true task of a writer. That takes courage and work. Hard work.
