Fighting Is The Most Important Part Of Good Writing

Writing is an unyielding fight against everything life throws at us

We all have our own battles and writing is no different. Writing is often seen as just sitting down, allowing the words to flow, and hitting the “submit” button. However, it runs deeper than that. If it was that easy, all of us would be best-selling authors.

Nah…writing is more than just wordplay, it’s a neverending fight against ourselves. It’s a constant one-on-one match against the hardest, darkest parts of our souls. Whether it’s the physical distractions of life or confronting the darkest parts of our psyche, we’re all fighting against something. It’s this fight that elevates writing beyond mere words on a page.

If you followed my work, you may have noticed I haven’t published anything in nearly a month.

Well, I been dealing with y own fights lately. Some of these fights are physical, some are a fight within, but they all share a commonality.

You have to keep fighting every day.

Writing is more than just words, it’s a fight to overcome every single thing life throws at you.
