“The hardest thing about writing is writing”
— Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:
Writing is tough because actually sitting down and starting to write is often the biggest challenge. Many people have lots of ideas in their heads, but putting them down on paper can be hard. It's like wanting to exercise; thinking about it is easy, but getting up and doing it takes effort. Sometimes, fear of making mistakes or not being good enough stops people from even trying. Just like playing an instrument, the more you practice writing, the easier it gets. So, to make it easier, one should simply start writing anything, even if it’s not perfect, because getting started is the most important step.
