on Helping Writers become Authors:

It’s something of an irony that most of us come to writing because we love it—and, yet, it’s actually really freaking hard. Only somewhat tongue in cheek, I will often advise that if “you can not be a writer, then don’t.” And yet it is abundantly clear that more humans than not need to write. (And my more truthful advice is “everyone should write.”)
But what happens when you lose the joy?
Is there a way you can learn how to rediscover the joy of writing you experienced way back at the beginning of your journey?
