Is writing an arduous task?

           How many words have you written, from the time you began to learn writing to the moment you are reading this sentence? If this question sounds insane, there is no exact answer to it, try this one. How many pieces of essays have you composed so far? To make it simpler, is the pen possibly one of the common tools held by you in life? Matter-of-factly, writing and human are inseparable, both are linked and entwined. In fact, mankind is the sole creature gifted with the ability to write logically.  

          Since ancient times, writing was used as a means of communicating ideas and recording of information by our ancestors. As it developed, it became a channel for avid writers and sentimental poets to express their infectious attitudes and feelings. William Shakespeare, the unanimous greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist, devoted his life in writing, and he ingeniously won everyone’s glorification through his marvelously-written compositions. In addition, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and J. K. Rowling similarly play with the words, magically enticing the readers to visit to their intriguing imaginations. Other than millions of the well-known authors, on earth, there are a lot of ardent writers or people who simply grow fond of writing. For instance, researchers who intensely wish to publish their journals, newspapers or magazines’ editors, bloggers and the like. For those people, is writing an arduous task?

        Obviously, the answer should be no, writing is pleasant and enjoyable for them. Nevertheless, imagine if William Shakespeare is demanded to write a lengthy essay about Newton’s law of universal gravitation, or John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and J. K. Rowling are requested to compose a book on how to fix electronic gadgets at home, will writing be a strenuous task for them now? Of course, with willing and colossal efforts to seek for related information, all of them are able to complete the errands. The focal point is that much more energy is required to be spent by them in those tasks as compared to writing in their original fields, and that makes writing a difficult assignment in their postulated situations. From here we are able to reach a consensus that writing is a bed of roses if one has the knowledge on what he intends to write. Often, when it comes to the time we must write, the hollowness of information about the topic burdens us, and the process of seeking for materials puts us into vexation. That makes sense for why numerous people are fond of writing diaries without taking it as a grueling task as with complete understanding or knowledge about themselves, they bypass the procedure of looking for associated information.

              It was passion that kept William Shakespeare and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien for producing a great deal of masterpieces in their entire lives. With passion in writing, J. K. Rowling is composing her new novel, "The Casual Vacancy", after the consummation of her stunning Harry Potter series. Also, enthusiastically, millions of the editors, poets, writers and authors are working on their writings day by day. The zeal for writing is not inborn, one has to ignite it. Having interest in the topic one wants to write kindles the so-called enthusiasm in writing. That explains why asking a student to write a love letter to someone he secretly adores is much uncomplicated than instructing him to write an academic essay, as thousands of words are probably insufficient for him to express his mighty and profound affection for her in his love letter,  but he simply has no passion in completing his laborious assignments.

              Summing up, both knowledge and passion are directly proportional to the easiness of writing. In a sense, the greater the knowledge one has about a topic, the lesser effort required by him to seek for related information and the easier the particular writing task will be. Similarly, the more zealous the person is on writing about a certain topic, the easier he finds writing about that topic. In conclusion, both knowledge and passion determine whether or not writing is an arduous task.
