Writing Is Hard – But You Can Do Hard Things
“The work of creation is slow, laborious, and dull.” – Roger Scruton
Why does the creative life feel like such a struggle sometimes? And how can you keep going when the work feels slow and discouraging?
In this episode, S. D. Smith and Brett Harris talk about why all meaningful accomplishments require effort — and why that’s actually good news for writers.
You’ll hear:
- Why God designed the creative act to be challenging
- What the word passion really means (and why it matters)

- Why determination beats inspiration every time
