Writing Is Like A Diet

It is not easy to write. Even if one likes it... Writing is like a challenge. An obstacle to face. And when confronted, To make use of it... A discipline applied, Is what it takes! It is not easy to write. Even if one likes it. Those who do may not sleep, At night. Or discover they have lost an appetite. Writing is like a diet. And accepting it becomes a way of life. Those who ask how writing is done... Usually have no idea, Of what they must overcome. Some believe writing is nothing but fun. But those committed... Know writing is more like a spouse, That can be quiet as a mouse. Then at other times a shouting occurs... Heard from the inside, With a wish to come out! Writing is like a diet. And accepting it becomes a way of life. It is not easy to write. Even if one likes it! Writing is like a challenge. An obstacle to face. And when confronted, To make use of it... A discipline applied, Is what it takes!
