Writing is an enigma, sort of, yes. The daily grind comes at a price you chose to pay. I believe things are overcomplicated and glamourized when it comes to putting words on paper.
Writing is neither complicated nor needs romanticizing.
You see all sorts of advice pouring in from each quarter on how to get better and master the craft.

The thing is, we love to read and create a fantasy in our heads, while execution is what we lack. We soak up or rather suck up to tons of articles, but when it comes to implementing, we are clueless about what to do?
Hence, I say, writing needs simplicity. It needs an effort like done while walking. You get up and walk and not read about how your left leg goes or where the right leg follows. Everything else comes later, but first, you walk.
