No. It is not.
Writing is hard work. Go and ask anyone who is in the business for long and he or she will tell you what a drag this is. As they say it, “The worst part of writing career is to sit still on your desk and write.”
Writing never comes easy, no matter at what stage you are into your writing career. It will never come easy. It takes time, effort, and pushing from your side. Do not assume that someone just sits on the desk and starts stroking keys and articles or books or reports or whatever starts forming itself. It never happens this way. To draw an analogy, let me tell you that writing is akin to polishing gold necklace—it required time, determination, precision, attention to details, and ability to continue even when your mind is saying “F” Word out loud.
I have been long enough in this field to realize this. Initially, I was delusional. I thought it will come easy to me as I am into this since I was a kid is class 3rd. But, as I wrote I was delusional.
Indeed, you should. If writing is tough then what is not? Nothing is easy. You will have to exert yourself in everything that you do. But there is one thing about writing that none of the profession shares, at least not in the essence that writing does.
Writing creates a world, where you are in control of what each of your words will do. But, still your readers are in control. As it is upon them to make whatever sense they want from the writing. Writing is a game being played between the minds of the writer, readers and everything that falls in between.
This indeed makes writing fun.
Yes. Writing is fun. In the truest sense of the word, not in the sense that mean no work all play.

Writing on the internet, and expecting to get paid for your work, isn’t easy. Most people who don’t have experience in the field may think that setting up a blog, and then getting some traffic is enough to make a living, but it isn’t. In truth you have to work at it, craft your ability, and be prepared to go through some rough patches. How you work through these, and adapt your writing ability, are the keys to your success.
The biggest part about being successful writing is pretty much just being diligent. You have to work at any career, and writing on the internet is no different. You can’t allow yourself to second guess your career choice, or give up when the assignments seem too few and far between. Something has to break eventually, but if you give up, you’ll never get that opportunity.
Learn how to use keywords, and to write SEO. Search Engine Optimization is the most important technique for any internet writer. If you want your articles to garner attention, and be read by the mass public, you need them to get noticed on search engines. Because sites like Google operate searches by using keyword recognition, you need to have your articles formatted properly, and with the correct sprinkling of keywords.
Make sure that you make friends within the industry as well. Network, network, network so that you can connect to as many job providers and writers as possible. These are the people that have and will know about the best jobs. Getting connected to them will open up as many doors as possible, and really get your career moving.
As long as you work hard, and are diligent, you can succeed. Just remember to keep at it, and don’t give up on writing.
