writing is not hard

Writing is not hard.

Putting words on pages, one after another, is not hard.

They’re just words; words made of letters. the same 26 letters over and over again.

Letters make words; hundreds of thousands of words.

Words make sentences; millions or more possible sentences: subject-verb, subject-verb-object, etc.

Sentences make paragraphs; billions of paragraphs, maybe an infinite number.

Paragraphs make stories; stories about morning coffee, a favorite unicorn, the 1997 World Series, birth, unemployment, a diamond heist, space colonization.

A million stories per person, per day.

Writing is not hard.
