A little writing humor for your Thursday!
Writing a book is tough, but is it actually torture?
If you've ever felt like the writing process is a strangely specific form of eternal punishment, welcome to your official orientation. In this video, we're taking a tour of "Writing Hell"—the place every author moves into without reading the lease.
Whether you're dealing with writer's block, editing fatigue, or just the general misery of drafting a novel, you aren't alone. Expect dry sarcasm, oddly familiar writing struggles, and one tiny “mission” that involves sending yourself mail from the pit.

In this video, we cover:

• Why writing a book feels so hard sometimes
• The "torture" of the creative process (and how to survive it)
• A fun perspective on the author life to keep you sane
