I love writing. I've loved it ever since I was little. I've filled multiple journals about my life. I enjoy writing letters and sometimes when I don't have anyone to write to, I write to my future self. Writing is not only a hobby of mine, but it's also something I'm interested in doing as a possible career. Even though I love to write, I still have my share of struggles while writing.

The biggest struggle I have is actually finding time to write. I'm a full time college student, I work, and I'm involved on campus. Managing my time is so hard sometimes and fitting in time to write seems like it's impossible.

Even when I find time to write, it's not guaranteed that I'll have something I want to write about. Writer's block is so real and so annoying. It's like when you go to take a test and you see a question that you know you know the answer to, but your mind goes blank. You sit down to write and you know you have all these ideas, but for some reason you can't think of a single thing to write about.

Picking things to write about is hard too. I struggle with the decision to either write about my experiences or to write fiction. I used to always think fiction was my favorite thing to write, but I've been writing more about my experiences lately and I don't hate it. I find it a lot easier to write about things I've experienced. I don't have a favorite between the two, but I struggle deciding every time I write.

A big struggle is finishing work and then finding something wrong with it. Either there's a typo or you forgot to include something. Whether it's a paper for a class or published work, it sucks finding something wrong with work you though was finished.

On that same note, your work is never really finished. Even if you write something and love it, that doesn't mean you won't come across that same piece of work 5 years later and want to change everything about it. You're constantly changing as a person and so will the writer in you.
