Why WRITING be a BURDEN? |

---

Why is writing a burden for some people, but instead it becomes a fun activity for some others? Are famous writers whose work is translated into dozens of languages and read tens of millions of people around the world burdened with writing—at least have they felt it? Do journalists who work every day have to write, consider the obligation to write as a burden or an enjoyable activity?

In five or six working days, most journalists write two news every day. Ideally, he also reads news written by other journalists in other media to add information or find out information that has not been presented.

Ideally more, a journalist also reads a book, not only to increase his knowledge about a topic but also to add to his ability to write. Is the job always enjoyable all day, or has it been in one day or in just a few hours, the writing job is a burden so that you are not eager to do it?

Writing block or lost passion?

This is not only related to writing block, but there is a condition where an author feels a burden when moving his hand over the keys? He did not experience a lack of ideas, no difficulty in expressing his ideas. It's just that the burden is there and it interferes with the writing activity—though not permanently. If the burden is more dominant so that it permanently interferes, perhaps it cannot produce a compelling writing.

That laughing is one of the therapies to reduce stress, it is recognized by all psychologists and lay people. But making people laugh, is a burden for a comedian—at least there are times when he feels the task is a burden.

For a professional in any field, the burden is not permanently disturbed. Because if it comes to the burden of every job, it means that it doesn't love the job, there is no passion there.

That's how the author feels. The burden is the smallest compared to the tempestuous spirit of each writing. The burden that comes—either because it is related to writing or other reasons—can reach anyone. In some conversations with several famous writers, they also admitted that occasionally the burden came. There are writers who actually make that burden as a motivation to produce quality writing.

So, the first time you really have to love writing activities. The belief must be built that writing is a fun activity, regardless of whether it is an amateur or professional activity. Professional writers at first are amateurs who experience a lot of burdens.

Even if at one time it becomes a burden, then the burden must be lifted like a weightlifter who is accustomed to a load on a certain scale. When a load of kilos of grams becomes daily food, then he is not bothered by the burden in a match.

When love is present and passion exists, even if the situation is burdened either because of the writing activity itself or because of any problems outside of writing activities, sometimes it can produce interesting writing—at least I have experienced it like that.[]
