Throwing in my two cents as someone who draws AND writes, by my experience people tend to fall in three major categories.

1- People who also write or at least tried to at some point in their life, and go "Yeah writing is fucking hard, actually"

2- People who don't write but engage in other creative pursuits and go "I don't have firsthand experience, but I can imagine writing is fucking hard, actually."

3- People who have never engaged in a creative pursuit since their pasta art made in kindergarten and go "Pfff what's so hard about it, I could do it!"

(Also subcategory a, or what I call "the white whale": People who have never engaged in a creative pursuit but also have the common sense and decency to say "I know jack all about this, so I'm gonna trust you when you say that it's fucking hard, actually")

Yes, I am generalizing for comedic purposes, but also... Kinda not. It is a sad reality of not just writing, but any sort of creative work that there will always be people not having the faintest clue of the effort that goes into these hobbies/careers and very much underestimate and trivialize somebody's else work. You just kinda have to make peace with it, imo : T
