Why is it so hard to write a book?The mechanics are pretty simple.

You get an idea, you sit down, you put words on the page, and eventually you have a book.

So why is it so hard to actually do?

If you've got a job, a family, and a life that's already pretty full, finding the time to write can feel impossible. And even when you do find the time, you can still get stuck, lose your way, or start wondering whether you're really cut out for this.

In this video, I share the three things I've found make writing a book so difficult:

• Finding the time in the middle of a full life

• Knowing where your story is actually going

• Expecting the process to be easier than it is

I've run into all three myself (including writing 70,000 words before realizing I didn't really have a story).

If you're somewhere in the middle of writing your own book, I hope this helps you understand why it feels hard, and gives you a reason to keep going.
