How do you - like, they're actually asking for an app that writes a - what, seriously? I mean, seriously? That's not how - you've broken my brain.

And no, writing is not easy, and I totally get people feeling insecure about it, and I understand being daunted by the amount of effort it takes to write something decent. I get it. I really do. I've been writing fic for fun for two decades, I had a job for a couple years that involved me getting paid to write articles online, I have two undergraduate degrees that involved a fuck ton of writing, and it is Not Easy. (My fic - not actually that good, but dammit, I have fun with it.)

...and now I'm annoyed about something entirely new, yaaaaaaaaaaay. XD

LOL, yeah, I don't know if they honestly believe that or if they just ask the question wrong and that's how it winds up reading, but either way, it's very odd. They seem to kinda drift away once they find out it's not that simple.

And I hear you on that. I've been writing since I was a little kid, and I can still find many things about my writing I need to keep working on and improving, and still have days where I'll look at stuff I've written and be like, "Ugh, this sucks."

But like you said, at its best, it can be so much fun, too, and the feeling you get when you work hard on a piece of writing and get it published somewhere where people can read it (and hopefully enjoy it besides)...well, that's hard to beat :D. And that makes all the stress and time spent on it worth it.

It honestly is. And I'm writing 85% because I enjoy it, and 15% because I do like seeing people favorite something I wrote, or give it kudos, or on a good day a comment. I love knowing that something I enjoyed creating made a positive impact on someone else. ...but yeah, the creating part and the sense that I've actually made something is the best. (You know, even if it's ridiculous fanfic that has very little objective value. But it means something to me, so that works out.)
