Katherine: It can be difficult but also not so difficult. It all depends upon what you write. If you intend to write novels (fiction), you can write with a little imagination and a minimal vocabulary. If you wish to write non-fiction, it can require a broader vocabulary. Also, there is such a thing as the individual "voice" that each person has. It comes when they cultivate the ability to express what they feel strongly in language. This is called "articulation". To have this, you need a working vocabulary, a kind of "toolkit" of words which accomplishes specific things for you. If you are in possession of your own "voice" your writing should proceed forth for you in an effortless progression of thoughts, feelings, and concepts. If writing is difficult for you, and you Do---Not---Know---What---To---Say, it may because inside, you have not identified what can be described as your Core Assumptions. That is a collection of beliefs and idea that you firmly hold as true.

Yes, writing is very difficult. In fact, it it is very difficult to write one really good sentence. If a reader has to read your sentence two or three times to get the meaning, then that means that you did not write a clear sentence.

You might be interested to know that there is a phenomenon occurring in the field of Journalism directly associated with the Internet. People expect "free" information on the Internet. People are tending less to buy and pay for the information they want from magazines and journals. People want to simply "Google" everything. That can be a difficulty for a Journalist or Writer who just spent $25,000.00 of their own money and risked their life in foreign country to bring some story to the world's attention. The modern Journalist wants to sell their story to some popular Magazine which covers World Affairs. Fewer magazines today can afford to pay out sufficient funds to satisfy the professional journalist. . Do you have anymore information about the kind of writing you think about? .

Many people have developed within them a common fault in which their difficulty can be described as a failure to identify Core Assumptions. This makes people feel "hollow". They can tell you that some people believe THIS and others belief THAT, but they are unable to tell you what they believe, think, or know. That is the "hollow" condition. It is not an abnormality mind you. Anyone can have that condition, until they find that they have something strongly felt to communicate to others. Feeling is usually the key to many things. Unless we can identify what we strongly feel, we have no Core Assumptions which serve as the basis for any of our communications. Generally, I would say that you become something of a "writer" when you are willing to offer an informed communication which expresses your strong disagreement with someone else on some subject. Thus, when you feel something, that is when you can "write". If you feel nothing, neither can you write much. So the answer to your question becomes the issue of whether or not you can feel something strongly, and find the words to communicate strong feeling. .
