"There's nothing hard about writing.  All you have to do is sit down and open up a vein."
- Walter "Red" Smith

I believe this quote by Walter "Red" Smith is true when it comes to writing well.  Writing in general is not difficult, but if someone wants to create a good piece of writing, it will not be an easy process.  Anyone can write garbage with little to no effort, but writing worthwhile is much more difficult.

You are right: garbage can be written but good writing takes time. I just wish that I had more insight on how you feel about this quote opposed to just the response. Besides that, great response!

Nice post. I also agree. Putting sentences together is one thing, but writing is another. Only few can write well.

No disagreements here. Writing well can be stressful, especially if you know it's for a grade.
